That really screws Chelsea, if they keep Sarri they need an overhaul to play the football he wants, if they don't any new manager coming in is going to want to sign his players. Then you've got your best player wanting to leave and your best youth product desperate to leave too without the possibility to replace them. Add to that an aging squad and thas Chelsea out of title contention for the next 2/3 years and even then they'll be playing catch up and forced to spend more than the market value to attract players and I'm not sure Abramovich is willing to do that anymore.

One thing you can almost guarantee is that this isn't unique to Chelsea, I'd put money on all the top 6 clubs being guilty in some way, just a case of who they want to single out.

I've been around, but it has just been a miserable couple of months as a Chelsea fan.

My interest in football is just generally very low, watching/chatting about Chelsea feels like a chore at the minute.
 
Its amazing how a few years ago they were considered to be the club with the model to follow.

They've lacked any direction since they appointed Conte, and the chopping and changing of managers hasn't worked at all.

The one good thing about the ban is it can help them to find an identity.

Come on mate, you’ve been through worse.

It’s been a good twenty years for Chelsea and you’re in another Cup final this weekend. All it needs at your club is the right manager and the right DoF to work together and get that playing staff to evolve without the poisonous ones there.

It’ll only take a few years.

I'm not that old mate :) The worst Chelsea have been in my lifetime were the mid-to-late 90's (I was 10-11 years old) and that team was pretty good, so I've had it good thankfully.

I was more on about the toxic atmosphere amongst Chelsea fans - we've been embroiled in a civil war since just before Mourinho was sacked in 2015, and it has exploded into outright abuse and daily racist, xenophobic arguments etc this season. Fans were chanting "f*** Sarriball" in the United game, and last night Jorginho was booed as he came off the bench, his only crime being associated with Sarri.

I've also realised that the root cause of what ails Chelsea is actually the board and as much as pains me to say, the owner. At this point, close to 100% of Chelsea fans want Sarri out. They're done with him, but firing him would just be, imo, the club abdicating on their own responsibilities and refusing to acknowledge and address their own shortcomings. If you're hiring/firing managers with none of them able to achieve any sustained success, the problem isn't whoever happens to be the manager, it's how the club is run we need to take a close look at. I can guarantee you that if we fire Sarri, we'll be back here at some point next season mulling over the fate of the next Chelsea coach. Rinse, repeat.

Apologies, that turned into a bit of a rant, but the club is a mess and firing/not firing the coach is the least of our problems.
