Chelsea Thread - 2023/24

I truly don't get the hype that surrounds Pochettino. All the "he's a fantastic coach", "his teams play great football" type stuff. What's he won as a coach; a few domestic trophies with PSG? Big deal; I could manage PSG to trophies in France, a "un cheval" league. All he's done this season is to turn Chelsea into a banter club....

Let's hope Pep shows him less respect from now on. We need to destroy them next time.

Chelsea are fucked. Their time, scoffing at the top table is over. Mid table/ cup runs are the best they can hope for.
One of the mighty has fallen. Still, you make a pact with the devil and it'll fuck you up the arse.

Too many young players to be immediately successful, but still capable of upsetting teams, so I’ll keep my powder dry until after the Cup game.

Chelsea are just one of those teams that are set up to do well against a team like us, Styles make fights as they say. Chelsea could lose numerous games against teams floating around mid table and down the bottom, The truth is they've put it up to the top teams in the league this season.

The Semi-Final is going to be a seriously tough game.

All it takes one correct managerial appointment and we'll be right up there again in the midst of race for top 4. Poch is useless.

With these losses plus worse predicted next year surely they are certain to face minimum 10 point deduction or relegation ?

Chelsea had the HIGHEST operating loss EVER last season

Chelsea's financial calamities have been laid bare after it was revealed they posted the most severe operating loss of any Premier League club in history last season.

Plus they are still under investigation for off the book payments to agents etc under the last owner. Which despite not getting the press or dressing up ours do are of similar nature if not worse and we keep getting told of guilty we could be relegated.

How would a Chelsea survive if they run up losses like this if relegated ?

If I was them I would also be worrying about stadium revenue in the championship. So many clubs in London competing for fans. Less corporate appeal now a small and outdated stadium relative to their recent success.

What would relegation or administration say about PSR FFP and the Premier League ?

Just become The Chelsky. It worked for their BFF in Govan.

Chelsea will survive any punishment imo. Just like we would.

But the rules are a joke imo. It seems to me that the PL have set up a LAZY set of rules/ process/ policies that allow clubs to walk themselves into major trouble instead of protecting them.

The PL are , or should be, an embarrassment to the UK people. As are PIGMOL. There should be a massive effort to protect integrity and not the stupid talk of tradition and history.

"Best league in the world" is bollix (or will be when they destroy it)
