We have a Championship level manager, Brighton level squad, no long term FOS sponsor, no sign of a stadium redevelopment, a ground full of corporate areas and no clear path forward.
@Dannythefink you won’t reply but I’d genuinely love to know what the plan is here?
Fabregas, Felipe Luis, Rosenior and Maresca. All high risk, high reward bets. The entire #Chelsea project is a bet on an underpriced asset looking for an upside. Old days are long gone. It’s 6th to 14th place for the next years + the occasional 4th place. History is all gone
Sacking Enzo Maresca for this Rosemary guy has to be top 3 of the most foolish decisions in Chelsea's history.
I still struggle to understand the metrics that they used to hire him.
If he's getting more say in transfers than Maresca did, my question would be "why?"
What has he done to earn that right?
Maresca did x10 more and yet he didn't get one CB he asked for that too because his main guy was injured.
Why does Rosenior get perks that a 10x better manager than him didn't get even in his second season?
Agreed. the concept of organised religion is a warped idea that bands people to an ideology [us against them]. This means everyone you meet will be judged against an unfair yardstick without giving them a a chance
Here's the difference between our wingers IMO.
Mudryk has a toolbox full of a variety of very fancy tools and has no understanding of the context in which any of them are useful.
Madueke's toolbox contains a hammer, and by god he'll hammer everything with it, nail or not.
If you ever sit down & talk with a 'Poch Out' Chelsea fan, ask them the hard-hitting questions:
1. How long does it take to integrate 37 new players brought into a Premier League club in 18 months? (relationships, bonds & connections)
2. How long, specifically, does it take a young player with little to no experience (18-21) to adapt to a new league, new team, new country & perform at the top level?
3. Name 1 Premier League club that we can use as a benchmark/case study to determine whether this new recruitment strategy is on-track or behind schedule?
4. How many years will it take to be successful after restructing a Premier League football club (business side & recruitment structure) & overhauling the squad?
5. How much blame should the manager take for the success rate of individual players signed for huge transfer fees when the decisions to sign them are not made by him but by the owners/sporting directors?
6. How much responsibility should the owners & sporting directors take for Chelsea being mid-table for 2 seasons?
7. Is it possible to win the Premier League with an u/23 squad, or finish in the top 4, if you have no experienced players & no leaders? If yes, gives case studies as examples.
I can't overlook the real issues at our club, everything else is simply a by-product of them.
Tuchel has lost the players, glaring last 3 games prove it. He just can’t cut it at league level / over a long period of time with a bunch of players that know how GOOD they are.
What differentates Pep/Klopp from him are they’re emotional people, they can resonate with anyone.
Bayern sacked Nagelsmann coz they thought the treble was in danger and brought Tuchel only to bottle all trophies the following season and leave the club. One of the worst decisions you'll ever see
1. Alcohol has no single health benefit.
2. No level of alcohol consumption is safe for your health.
3. Nothing like "drink responsibly", they just want the money.
4. Alcohol only makes people poorer, dumber, fatter, and sicker.
5. Change for your own good.
