A discrete search is apparently underway regarding a new manager. surely surely not.

I personally don’t think that is happening but it does create a negative narrative.

Seems highly unlikely. But given our almost complete squad overhaul, ptevious decades of success but now year long struggle to score and get points I think we are going to see many click bait stories about us this season in the media. Either made up or from unteliable sources including Twitter or X. Gor instance apparently the TC personal trainer oneby someone impersonating hom according to TC.

We need to stick with Poch there is no one better available. I am confident he will turn things around. It will take time.

Would these owners make the complete wrong decision and sack poch, I wouldn’t put it past them, there ment to be businessmen and they’ve ruined this investment in little over a year.

Matt, I doubt they have “ruined their investment”.

I didn’t want Poch as our manager but I desperately want him to be successful and he has my 100% support.

I also a want our owners to be successful and they also have my support. Any small criticism of them is probably to much to soon but that’s with the benefit of hindsight.

Taking it from Europe to nowhere near, is running the investment,

Matt, I’m sorry mate but if you think the owner’s investment will be judged over one or two seasons, you are totally wrong.

I have had the benefit of attending any board meetings but my guess would be that this is a long term investment hence proposed stadium rebuild.

They will in my experience constantly review, evaluate and then decide on a plan for two, five and then ten years. This will include playing performance and revenue performance amongst other things.

Sorry, that should be “have NOT”.

I think it’s down to the manager atm. Coll will left back? Standing off, with out the ball. no press. We look lazy. No movement in front of the defence. Gallagher playing deeper than enzo. Doesn’t make sense.

Again Tom, we can only speak for as things are, so from when they bought us, the money they have put in and our situation right now. It’s not been good at all, if they were going to sell, they would get what they paid, we all know the money champions league and marketing it brings. Again, I think you’re defending them out of loyalty rather than common sense, how has it been a good investment so far.
No champions league, 14th last year and currently. £1b spent and no shirt sponsor, a good investment is making money or being successful, fact.

Not really being pushed by the poor run of results but I don't think poch isn't the right manager for the rebuild we should have for the project. He doesn't have the winning mentality to even instill in the squad. Lacks the ruggedness for a winning team. Even when mourinho left his spirit lingered after many years imo. it takes a winner to build a perennial winning side. Watch both pep and klopp drive to win and see why poch is not a good fit to build. We don't look hungry often uninterested.

Of all the money spent it feels like a spoilt child who was handed down so much that he buys everything and anything within sight without appropriate plans. Rebuilding requires some patience and time. Even our injuries don't help but no enough sense of urgency and purpose.

Matt, we are all entitled to guess but let’s be honest we have no clue how to value a football club.

13.) 25 Sep 2023

I think it’s about valuing anything Tom, you buy it, spend money on it, make it it less attractable and still pumping money it, it’s not a success is it

Now the real judgment will be end of there tenure that’s the final verdict as off now, I think we’re all feeling less attached to the club,

14.) 25 Sep 2023

I agree about attachment but I’m baffled as to why I am feeling this way.

My point is Matt. I’m not an expert in valuation of football assets.

Obviously it only takes a sanctimonious blind loyalty than common sense to think the new owners have done very in adding value to the club since take over but everyone is entitled to his opinion.

We all yearn for the best Chelsea on all aspects of best possible. But some always feel more Chelsea than others that their own opinion is law for others.
The owners have spent money which normally should give fans suiting but we still far from the top for what we have spent.

Money not exactly well spent imo. a roman owned Chelsea should be be kicking with the spending so far but we still don't have a balanced squad after all. It feels they don't use the supposed professionals in the their disposal to a job but bypass them to do it themselves which could be reason some are leaving in their numbers. It sometimes looks like the obsession for younger players is to let them mature and improve to be sold for profits.

This will make more money for the owners but hamper the club collective success as we've been used to. We will selling the best players instead of retaining them for success. We won't be in contention for trophies but just another odd team. That to me is not building on roman legacies even if they managed to rebuild the stadium. We must continue to challenge for honours and not how much we are worth.

As for poch I had my doubts initially and not so much have changed in my doubts but I would give him more time maybe end of the season except things don't pick up especially when injured players return.

Sanctimonious - guilty.

Blind - not guilty.

Loyalty - guilty.

I had no you had such knowledge of who suggested to the owners who to buy. I think Ed said they were initially poorly advised.

I have no idea if the club was overvalued or undervalued when our new owners bought the club. I also have no idea how football clubs achieve a valuation. My guess would be it’s not done over a few games or even a season but I am sure it includes lots of things/ assets we know very little about.
