Chelsea are now West London's no. 3 team after Brentford and Fulham. Hopefully they'll find it harder to nick any of our promising youngsters.
Potter will be out by Sunday evening, if not sooner. Really good manager though he is, there is a huge difference between punching above your weight in 6th or 7th with a modest sized Club, and winning major trophies at a Club where that level of success is demanded. Potter will never achieve that at Chelsea or anywhere else.
Chelsea's new owner is on collision course with their spoilt fans. Maybe he is willing to give Potter five seasons to win anything at CFC, the way Fergie was given five seasons at United. That's a nice sentiment, but totally lacking in understanding of how different things are now. This isn't the 1980s anymore. And Graham Potter (bless him) is no Alex Ferguson. Chelsea fans aren't interested in building a dynasty. They lose faith in a gaffer after five bad results, never mind five years. And egomaniac Chelsea players aren't interested in finishing 8th in the league. Top 4 is the be-all and end-all for that Club. I understand they still chant for Roman Abramovic at the Bridge. Not too many yellow & blue flags in the crowd I'm guessing. They'd have Vladimir Putin himself as their owner if it meant Champion's League next season. Just another illustration of how American owners simply don't get it. Something we've found out of course. US Billionaire anyone?
Can't stand the club, the way they nicked Parker (and Kasey Palmer), made us play on a desert. Their success has been built on the criminal activities of one of Putin's inner circle. Fvck 'em.
11 games without a win. They were talking about this on the radio yesterday. Some pundits saying Vieira has improved them, when the stats now say they've gone backwards since he took over. Sadly I think they've probably done just enough to stay up. But they are fading. Their Prem era is coming to an end I think.
I imagine Freiye, Slade and Karl Robinson are too!! If you need an ex Charlton manager, we have a range!
