    Once they finish greasing up the door, Fat Frank will be shoved through it

    Adding Frank's reported £8m pay-out to the total, Chelsea have now spent £118m on terminating managers' contracts since Roman took over.

    Obscene.

    Their whole disgusting club is built on financial doping, money is their answer to everything. A tin pot football club with oil money.

    **** sake, now they might actually start playing well with that £230m of talent they brought in the summer.

    Though saying that, if Tuchel wants to truly prove he’s a Spurs fan then he should know what to do...

    Making Kepa captain would be a good start like.

    Abramovic tried to sell it a couple of years ago but there were no takers, not even Jim Ratcliffe, who is richer than the Russian.

    Unless the owner ploughs in £100m a season, the thing will fall apart. There's no way to redevelop the stadium without doubling the cost of building ours, for something far less impressive...and no chance of relocating, as the cost of land is prohibitive.

    So they won a game comfortably yesterday and now they've sacked the manager? Ok, then...
    I assume this has been in the pipeline for a while.

    Tried to sell it. Tried to make it a "business of its own account" .
    File Chelsky FC under : Sugga Daddy FC, vanity project.

    Can't help thinking that we missed a bullet there. Allegedly Abramovich was flying in to buy Tottenham and fly over Chelsea's ground in a helicopter and enquired 'who is that little club down there?'. I know that they have won far more than us in his time there, but I bet Levy, when him and Uncle Joe eventually decide to sell up, leaves our club in a far better state than Abramovich leaves Chavski.

    Small margins etc.

    Compare Spurs and the Goons.
    The difference between Uncle Joe and Kroenke is nominal.
    The difference between Levy and every Goon board member
    since the days of David Dein is vast.

    Indeed, Levy now with many years of experience runs Spurs as a sustainable business. As l'arse have been. Chavski is an open wound hemorrhaging cash. How much more he wants to invest will be interesting.

    This probably has something to do with it...

    £1.3bn in loans from Uncle Roman is not something any sane individual would want to take on

    Anyone else suspect that, when a player, Frankie may have been first to tell his 'mate' Roman that the manager has lost the dressing room on the odd occasion?

    He was supposed to be the main one under Villas-Boas. No idea if it's true, of course.

    Maybe we can return to the days when, if you referred to Chelsea, people assumed you were talking about Bill Clinton's daughter.

    Just in case there's somebody out there who thinks it was a mutual decision...
