Incredible and embarrassing given the guff your American boy has been coming out with today. Yo, go Todd and Mark. Do a goal.

Probably because Poch wasn't holding him back, oh hang on.....

All of those managers would flounder over the medium and longer term. When the foundations of what Chels have so arrogantly been changed to are so wrong the manager is irrelevant. By all means folks want to go for the myopic, blame cycle quick win but when we have fans blaming the manager on the abject mistake that is Mudryk we are well and truly in denial as to the huge, future defining mistakes being made by the owners and their cronies. Doesn't mean out current steer hasn't done some stupid things, that he took ain't all that good, that his niceness (from the Klopp playbook of how to make your abilities look way beyond that of reality) doesn't mean he shouldn't go but I fail to see how any manager will not be impacted detrimentally away from their core knowledge and knowledge how by the utter mess of our signings and 'philosophy'.

Reaction at full time days it all. Particularly after being shunted following the whole twitter bs. Vs noni. That ethos and approach of younger players was absolutely on show for United today. Old order showing some degree of diligence, commitment, work rate, determination. And yet we will build a team (aka pumped up version of Brighton) of youngsters who are way beyond the looking glass into celebrity wherever they play. Chelsea, who cares....just a millionaire London lifestyle. Sickening, to the point where my 11 year old lad calls it. If I never see hey noni and his ilk ever again I'll be grateful. Absolute disgrace and says much about the Burnley and blades results. A generation of players with many millions and absolutely no bottle.

Tbf it's the ones who are easily distracted by manager>players>manager>players blame cycle. The type who gets strung along by the 'sunlit uplands' style waffle of the rich. Deference is alive and kicking in England. If you cannot see the model and personnel at the top as a collective of duds, dressed up in financier arrogance you will never see it. But the model for Chelsea is absolutely clear as you've pointed out. Why after all would you knowingly demolish a Champions League winning squad, staff and club identity inside months?

The clown show derby, anything can happen. Thank the lord for the Mancunian legend.

Meanwhile an ex Brighton midfielder is doing it at Liverpool for third of the price Dear lord

Your post absolutely nails it in two short paragraphs. The direction of travel is startling given the scale of money 'spent'. Yet still some are utterly myopic; a change of manager will make it all better, dear oh dear.

Absolutely, though you might offend poor ham, as all some fans seem to do is focus on those multi millionaire financiers.....

Ah bless you ham Then again I feel the same when I read the supplicant drivel defending those multi millionaire yanks doing everything such an underwhelming job

Can't beat a pub grade pickled egg dropped into a bag of ready salted crisps Would also suggest pickled gherkins with haggis and mash. Lifts the palate.

Financiers, the biggest mob of them all.

Really played their part of stopping the removal of the away travel subsidy didn't they? File the steaming, soppery emanating from this lot as "they would say that wouldn't they". A bunch of supplicants given a guilded cage to sit in.

Well played our boys&girls Good bit of British humour to start showing Clownlake we are not just consumers but long term custodians. Particularly after their corporate spiel non response to the fans open letter.

Roman also treated us as fans, not consumers. How anyone can have faith in the grand show of arrogance, incompetence and the increasing tone of us lot being but a petty nuisance; one from which they need to make ever increasing amounts back from (can't wait for ST pricing news eh?!) is quite beyond me. Particularly as you seem to pour more blame on fans than this bunch of financier Muppets. Subsidised travel removal says it all. What was that, £270k a year cost to save a bit of cash in the context of hundreds of millions be wasted already. What a bunch of so and so's given their amateurish profligacy.

Good on them Let's face it we are classed as consumers not fans by the yanks. Why would we think that a financier class, from an increasingly sick nation that treats the average Joe like sh!t would treat us fans with anything other than pocket emptying scorn. Could make a point about geopolitics and Joe Biden but that's best off somewhere else.....

Sanchez a 6.6ft who makes it look like he's 5.6ft Absolute f ING clown. A number of them have looked consistent shite all season. But we'll sell Conor. The lack of leadership and experience out there is telling. But apparently the club ethos is to ignore the fundamentals of the game.

HAD, past tense, sold well The clown show transfer window just passed showed our new level under the arrogants and incompetents.

Absolutely. The descent by some trying to talk away the grand scale mismanagement of the club is somewhat laughable, if it were not for the future of the club being irrevocably woven to the pants of these absolute weapons of corporatocracy. Absolutely no one should be explaining away saying 'oh these players aren't got now', particularly when now means commercial imperatives we must land sooner rather than later to a avoid points deductions and a spiral of financial losses Not seeing the level of duddery, whilst also thinking this clown trope will some how get it right in the future is naive soppery.

Imagine being handsomely paid to oversee this oversight Winstanely and ego clown Laurence (plus his zoolander handler) need fecking kicking out of the club. Everyday there's yet more examples of how the club resembles corporate clown America

And now we are starting to see more sharply how the profligacy of Todd and his band of inept recruitment clowns have taken a club that has had a huge surplus in regards of transfer spend and sprayed it away. The losses Vs Roman, global pandemic disruption didn't help as did the Boris clown Johnson govt using the club as a diversionary tactic, so wouldn't hold too much stall on that.... particularly given the never never buy no pay later these feckwits yanks have used to purchase their parade of sh!te. The angle of having to sell £50m+ worth of players every year before we can buy (yet more underwhelming youth 'talent') shows starkly the mid table mediocrity we'll be paying for in the stands....with even higher pricing to watch this abject and arrogant yank clownary. Medium term Poch is the very least of our issues What an f'ing mess.

Maybe I'm giddy from 45mins of CFC doing CFC things at villa and supped the drink at a quicker rate but.... Could the club not make some massive signings These signings dont play, they don't coach, they don't scout, they aren't Todd Getting some legendary players from UCL winners, from early Jose, from the 1970s cup team etc The best of the best. Get a starting 11 that comes in and does a few days a month mentoring the current players in their team Drogba with Jackson Hazard with Madueke JT/Harris with the CBs Etc etc

Superb. Bathe in that. Get the gin out

90 mins for us all to take a CFC holiday from the day to day CFC Wonderful stuff And those away Chels tonight. Brilliant, like rolling the years back.

This is really true. Then you take a speculative step back and look at the general performance 'at the top'......and I can't have any faith in them not running the ship against the rocks. Speculation indeed but we are already dangerously off course (...anymore ship analogies) all but two years after being champions of Europe. The direction of travel does not bode well given the ilk of this financier class at the helm.
