Interesting you mention Stones because I wouldn’t be too upset if that were to happen. Rudiger I believe has just signed a one year deal. One major addition to 26/27 will hopefully be a fully fit Colwill. Yes he is young but without doubt had he not been injured he would be in the WC squad...

The squad still needs some surgery. A keeper who knows when to go long . Iconically Meresca even went on record that he wanted Sanchez to play the ball short when it was obvious that he was weak in that area. Sanchez did look better when he didn’t faff around Hato had a torrid introduction but...

Would he still have been the HC if he hadn’t had those conversations with City? Would he have had any different results that Rossenior bearing in mind he , Rossenior, hit the ground running with some very good numbers in the early days of his tenure. I of course may be 100% wrong but Maresca...

To a degree winning it was a double edged sword. We were still in the competition close to two weeks after your exited and some 6-7 weeks after many clubs had played their last game of the 24/25 season What that meant was that our players had less time to rest and be ready for the 25/26...

Some, not all, players were indeed upset ( furious is probably too strong a word) when he left. I personally didn’t know what to make of Rosenoirs appointment nor dare I suggest did any of my fellow supporters think that things were going to improve. Meresca wasn’t sacked he appears to have...

As many will know I am a Chelsea supporter who has a ST so go to games and mix with significant other supporters of the club. I genuinely can tell you that his style of football was dire. His obsession with passing across the backline often using the keeper wasn’t anything other than a bore...

Apologies I thought you were picking me up on the use, or lack of. It’s something that I constantly fail on. Not sure that you can say with any certainty that he wasn’t approached with intent.

I thought the days of grammar police was long gone. I read your comment and think you are in all likelihood wrong.

I have no doubt if City did indeed come calling he would want to take the opportunity. But one thing fascinates me is where will his line of responsibility start and end at City. Pep clearly had significant input into most matters but Meresca had major issues it seems when he for instance was...

Meresca it seems had a clause in his contract that if he or his representatives had meetings with another club took place he was duty bound to report it back to Chelsea. There were it seems two un sanctioned meetings that he did indeed report . I very much doubt those meetings were about hair...

Supporters rarely want to believe that their club has done wrong , operated outside the rules the supporters by and large dismiss the rumours as being jealousy.in our case we can’t deny it. I doubt that there are any clubs that are squeaky clean the rules governing clubs are complicated and...

My point was, and it seems to have been sort of lost in the follow ups, was that RA wasn’t subject to the PL jurisdiction whereas SM is.

Do you accept that under the PL definition he falls under the rules contained under the owners and directors rules ?

Here’s the PL definition

We haven’t yet had a ruling on the 74 FA Charges that matter is still on going. Looks almost certain that there will be other sanctions in coming. It would be churlish to try and suggest we didn’t break the rules and if you look back at my previous posts on here you will see that I believe we...
