This is probably just wishful thinking on behalf of the sender and I personally hope it's not true but I've just been messaged by a mate who says there is a strong rumour of a 9am board meeting being called. My bet would be that this is just normal procedure and people are making 2+2=5.

Tom

Hopefully it equals 4, this cannot continue with a toxic atmosphere at the Bridge, it just will not help with player confidence.

I wanted Poch to succeed and I believed he was the right person to guide these youngsters but his tactics, substitutions and him coming out stating his job is not safe suggests that he feels his time is up and maybe the players know it as well.

I'm sure TS's wife also does not help matters and I won't be sorry to see her ho at the end of the season.

Simon Johnson on talksport this morning says it's being reported in Argentina that Enzo has a serious groin problem that may require surgery.

Obviously he wasn't well last night but if true about his ongoing groin injury, it would explain a lot about his recent performances.

TomB

1.) 20 Dec 2023 10:13:47
And also Tom, we have yet another injury to add to our long list.


2.) 21 Dec 2023 09:09:10
Yes have read these reports and would ecxplain both his drop in form and why the poor lad was in tears when came off on Tuesday night. So if true it's - and I also don't know what the prognosis would be if it is - this is wretched news for the player and for CFC. The club's injury woes are truly dreadful.

Does antone have any update on when Lavia might be expected to make his debut or CC likely to be back from his long injury?


3.) 21 Dec 2023 15:09:40
JBS, the same guy who told me about Nkunku coming back slightly earlier than expected told me Lavia will be fit to play early January. So about two weeks.


4.) 21 Dec 2023 18:14:56
Thanks Tom might be good news then about Lavia.

We will have to wait and see about Enzo but most treatments of his kind of injury if reported accurately take time with or without surgery. Would be months rather than weeks it seems.

A West Ham supporting mate tells me they are looking to loan Lukaku.

Would be interesting if true!

I'd call it desperation not interesting.

RD, I told him he was a very misunderstood player with lots of talent.

I like the bloke and I didn’t want to burst his balloon. Anyway, I can’t see it happening.


3.) 23 Aug 2023 10:43:22
The club's stance is there will be no loan deals for Lukaku.

If unsold when the window closes, they are looking to Saudi's to strike a deal.


4.) 23 Aug 2023 11:04:23
Bill, I understood it to be their “preferred” route and while I personally can’t see a loan happening, we surely can never say “never”?

Little whisper for Bradley Barcola, whoever he is?

I'm sure I've seen his name mentioned before, probably on this site.

TomB

{Ed002's Note - Bradley Barcola (F/W) Having a very good season but should stay where he is as a move may see him pushed on to the bench. Has seen scouts from numerous Premier League and Bundesliga clubs to watch him but taking him now to play in England would likely mean he would need to be loaned out out for a couple of years before he could obtain a Work Permit unless someone pays well over the odds. Manchester City and Chelsea may offer him an option. PSG would take him as cover only. Riems may offer an option.}

Thanks for the info Ed.

I did not want Poch as our manager for many reasons none of them were connected to him being the past manager of the spuds.

I know want him to be our manager for many years to come and I will be truly gutted if our news owners change the management structure for the 4th time in there two year ownership.

I think Poch has been given a tough gig with so many new players along with our consistent injury problems.

I'm my opinion he has made mistakes in team selection and tactics but that's just me using hindsight and all managers make mistakes.

I have, in recent weeks, seen signs of improvement and generally we have matched the so called top sides in the big games toe to toe. Midfield players are looking to receive the ball and get beyond the forwards. We are also at long last keeping our shape.

So OWNERS, please stick with him.

TomB

1.) 18 Mar 2024 14:16:50
I'm leaning towards your thinking Tom, though I have felt since November or so that Poch would be replaced at the end of the season.

I too think that Poch has had a far harder job than a lot of people are prepared to admit, and he's largely done it ok. There have been some head scratchers, and the cup final was such a low it would have been hard to feel sympathetic if he had been sacked there and then.

I like a lot of the signings that have been made and I don't really even dislike the thinking behind some of the signings that haven't worked. But the squad is fundamentally flawed, and in addition to that we've had simply extraordinary injury problems.

Overall I think he has managed the squad pretty well. He's given debuts to deserving academy graduates and done his best to bed in all of the signings. It's easy to take this for granted, but ask yourself who else is going to give around 2100 minutes between Mudryk and Madueke? The vast majority of managers would have written them off after the second, let alone third, fourth or fifth chance that they have failed to do anything with.

We know the main targets for transfers and they will likely improve the squad regardless of who the manager is. Especially given there is no clear upgrade available I would stick and see where we are this time next year.


2.) 18 Mar 2024 15:36:42
I too want to keep the faith with Poch really optimistic .

In my opinion RE Signings

Sucesses Palmer Gusto Petrovic Jackson

Will be a success in time Cacaido Enzo Mudryk Carney Nkunku

May be a success in time Cucarella Diasi Lavia Madueke

Probably won't work out or need to sell to raise funds W Fofana Sterling (unlikely) Sanchez Badiashile

We all see things differently but I see us going in the right direction.


3.) 18 Mar 2024 18:26:22
I have seen nothing that changes my opinion about Poch, any slight improvement is probably due to the fact that the players are getting used of each other. I don’t see any style of play or identity being established. Poch is not a winner, he has never won anything and I doubt at this stage in his career that is going to change. His comments I often find tiresome.


4.) 18 Mar 2024 18:45:39
Jimbo, so you want him sacked then?


5.) 18 Mar 2024 19:34:43
The longer he stays in charge the longer our progress stalls. A change is clearly needed to guide this very gifted group of players to the next level. Klopp, Pep, Jose would of got us over the line in the Cup Final. Poch is not a winner sadly and his lack of discipline is and will continue to cost us.


6.) 18 Mar 2024 20:38:29
Tom, whether he stays on beyond this season is up the club. I expressed my opinion on him as a coach. I will be disappointed if he is our coach next season.


7.) 18 Mar 2024 20:45:40
Of course it’s up to club who our manager is now or next season. I was just seeking clarification on your opinion or your preferred course of action and you have done that. So thanks.


8.) 18 Mar 2024 22:20:19
Blimey Tom, you need to calm down mate. Posters are entitled to their opinion! Please don't shout anymore [capital letters] it isn't needed. I hope you are feeling ok.


9.) 19 Mar 2024 01:09:26
Not good enough for me no style of play I also read somewhere that he isn’t a great man manager and most of the high profile players he’s managed have been allowed to do what they want due to him just not being any good in them situations and players just run the show, which you can actually tell even with the penalty the other day we all know who the penalty taker is! but no. Another occasion of embarrassment by a so called senior player.
I wonder if anything was said? Seems like a good bloke but not Chelsea manager for me.

I'm sure there is an obvious reason but can someone please tell me why players cut slits in there socks?

TomB

1.) 16 Mar 2024 22:59:58
To reduce tightness and improve breathability to increase blood flow. Don't know why you wouldn't just wear looser socks but what do I know lol.


2.) 16 Mar 2024 23:35:17
Standard, thanks for the info.

I have to say I’ve never heard of “breathability. ” Is it something that stops socks smelling!


3.) 17 Mar 2024 10:10:58
I cut my patients socks sometimes to prevent them acting like compression stockings. But we have to deal with what we’re supplied. Like Standard says, surely a club/ player could just get slightly bigger socks!


4.) 17 Mar 2024 10:33:11
I assume that the decision to cut there socks is based on some sort of medical advice.

Maybe the calf muscles of a modern day football are bigger than they used to be. Or maybe the manufacturers of the socks should develop a material that stops it being an issue.

It’s a bit like people cutting slits in there Jeans as some sort of fashion statement.


5.) 17 Mar 2024 13:37:56
If you played football growing up then you've probably had uncomfortably tight socks, makes sense I guess.


6.) 17 Mar 2024 13:43:14
I did play to a good standard and I don’t remember ever thinking I had tight socks. If there is a medical rationale then fair enough.


7.) 17 Mar 2024 19:19:30
Tom, as to the socks issue. There is a business opportunity for us, let’s make socks with holes in them. When I was a kid playing football I never worried about my socks: I was worried about a wet leather ball hitting me in the Crown Jewels or the laces leaving an imprint on my forehead. Lol.


8.) 17 Mar 2024 21:31:29
Jimbo, when it became obvious I was never going to be good enough to be come a pro footballer, I carried on playing for boot money for corporate and supposedly “amateur” teams but always for “boot money. ”

I played in a team up North (Rotherham) and got chatting after the game to a retired ex Sheff Utd player. He told me he cleaned his boots pre game with water. This apparently slightly shrunk the boots. He told me lots of pros did it. I did it before my next game and played a blinder. So it then became a sort of superstition that I never got out of.

I was told recently that some pros still do it.

I can now just imagine lots of mums and dads buying expensive kits (including socks) and catching there little angels cutting holes in there new socks just like there heroes do.

We all have dreams and have a tendency to follow our heroes!


 

 

13 Mar 2024 11:55:41
I hope this post makes some sort of sense but it is just an attempt to express how I feel about our club and in particular the investment our new owners have made in players.

1) Personally I don't care what the clubs nett spend on players now or in the past.

2) If, as reported our new owners have spent nett £600m on players I'm happy because in my opinion the squad was overdue a complete overhaul.

3) This seems to be the same for all clubs. Some players will not be successful for any particular club. I did read somewhere that it was estimated that about 20% of any clubs signings don't work out. I'm not sure how many players our new owners have signed by I would guess that two or three will not be successes at our club.

4) The fee that a club pays for a player generally raises fans expectations. In my opinion it shouldn't but it does.

5) Some players like Drogba can take one or two seasons to prove their value.

6) This is a big guess from me but I think our nett spend over tbe next three seasons will be very small. If I am correct there will be fans moaning about a lack of squad investment.

7) I personally do not consider the size of a transfer fee as a measurement of a player's ability or playing value to any club. I'm only interested in the players ability not his transfer fee.

8) Only time will tell if the approach taken by our new owners is correct but when I'm looking at our squad I think we can already see that the club looks like it has made some very shrewd investments.

I will not be at the game against Leicester but a win will bring us another day out for our fans at Wembley but it will also bring a little bit of fixture congestion. Playing twice a week will be good practice for next season. haha.

TomB

1.) 13 Mar 2024 12:51:17
The team that was 'overdue a complete overhaul' had won the ucl a year prior and finished 3rd a month prior'. So many mistakes were made under the new owners and I don't really see how that's still debated.

Higher price tag and wage, higher responsibility in the squad from an outside view. Not always the case however.

Agree on the Drogba point. Jackson has good numbers this season but has also looked like a non league player at times. I think he was a good buy but he should have some help.

Again, the finances behind a transfer are very important. If we spend 100m on osimhem, the responsibility and expectation is there for him to deliver results. If I take over as CEO for a big company, I'm paid the most and I have the most responsibility and I must provide results, simple.

Agree, some purchases were great. I really liked the chukwuemeka signing but I didn't see the point in signing Ugochukwu, Lavia, Caicedo, Santos and Casadai. It just screams scattergun approach to me. Pick a couple that can contribute and sign them, not all 5 imo.

Hope we can beat Leicester! Hope you also have a good day ahead.


2.) 13 Mar 2024 13:27:51
Tom

I totally agree we needed a squad turnover.

The goalkeeper position was an issue, the CB position was an issue with Rudigee and Christensen leaving due either wanting to leave or sanctions on our club.

Mount wanted to leave and we are probsbly going to have the same situation with CG.

We all agree that Havertz did not live up to expectations and don't even get me stated on Lukaku.

Hopefully like you Tom, the net spend should be minimal with just tweaking the squad.


3.) 13 Mar 2024 14:32:09
Tomb love the post
I enjoy seeing the new shoots of our club doing things differently
I think it is a very slow process but im am seeing improvements in all areas of the pitch

Petrovic, gusto, palmer, enzo, caicedo, jackson mudryk have all improved recently and will turn out to be good signings if they carry on improving

Nkunku lavia ugo chuky cucerella badiashille fofana casadei i think once given time in team will all enhance our 1st team plus add osihem we will be set

Sterling the only signing im not going to comment on

I think in 2 more years we will have a great young team pushing for titles

Pains me to say a bit like arsenal
I like our new model and i think the futures bright be patient and we will have a great team

Yes we are inconsistent but in nearly all our games this year we have had half the team are either new to club or new to the country or league of course that will take time to settle and a new manager

Ktbffh.


4.) 13 Mar 2024 14:39:47
Standard, I’m not sure why you think it shouldn’t be “debated. ” That is what’s supposed to happen on this site. Making a dismissive statement is something you keep doing for some strange reason.

Of course the owners have to take responsibility for there decisions along with the team manager and the players for there individual performance.


5.) 13 Mar 2024 14:43:34
Bill, if and it’s a big if, am correct and our nett spend over the next three seasons is correct then our average nett spend over a five year period would be roughly £120m per season under the new owners stewardship.

Of course this is just me guessing that going forward there will be minimal adjustments to the playing squad.


6.) 13 Mar 2024 15:15:46
Very good points made Tom. The new regime are to be commended with their approach. The players signed and very talented and will save the club a fortune in the years to come. As Gola says, you can see the development and progress being made. Other clubs will have to spend big shortly to replace ageing players, our work is by and large done. The wage bill is also reducing and let's face facts, as much as we all loved the Roman era it was simply not sustainable. We were also very lucky he wrote off that huge debt. We are in a good place to now move forward with these highly talented young players who will start to make others rather envious.


7.) 13 Mar 2024 16:00:22
G8, we had two CH’s who were out of contract. We had a LB and RB who both wanted to go back to Spain. Two midfielders who wanted to go and one who had half a season on his contract. A RW who’s work rate was at beat questionable and a CF who didn’t want to play for us. The squad had to change.


8.) 13 Mar 2024 17:08:07
100% correct Tom and the recruitment team have generally done a good job with some real gems pulled out the hat as well, see Malo and Palmer in particular but also Jackson at £30million is looking a very good bit of business. Joe Cole is singing Mudryks praises and he is starting to look more settled, I expect him to be a top talent going forward. Moises is starting to look like the player everyone wanted to sign and Enzo is a bit special. Disasi is emerging at centre back and what a find Petrovic has been. Carney was exciting until the injury as was Nkunku in pre-season. Even some of the fringe signings like David Fofana are banging in worldies on loan. The squad is looking good and I only see one or two additions each season now with the young project well on its way. Exciting times for us Chelsea fans.


9.) 13 Mar 2024 17:27:20
It's swings and roundabouts but at the time of the Champions League win, one of the main talking points around Chelsea was how young the squad was with Mount, James, Chilwell, Havertz all starting that game; Christensen playing 70-odd minutes of it; CHO, Gilmour, Tammy and Pulisic all playing parts during the campaign.

They were all 25 and under. Two of those players are still at the club.


10.) 13 Mar 2024 17:59:27
RBD, you make some interesting points.

Since that time James and Chilly have spent more time on the treatment table than playing games. Christensen was out of contract. Pusilic continued to be enigma. Tammy (if I remember correctly) wanted game time guarantees.

I think CHO is better than Noni but he needed to be playing for his own sake and the same could be said for Billy Gilmore.

I loved watching Havertz but as I’ve said before I’m not sure why!

RLC had a horrible injury but I thought he was gradually getting back to playing well. I would have kept him and sold Gallagher but these are the tough decisions all clubs have to make.

Ziyech for me was a very poor signing and Werner was driving me to a heart attack.

When we had to get new owners I said they would make “statement signings. ” They made mistakes in my opinion, rushing to get new players in but in some areas they had little choice.


11.) 13 Mar 2024 18:32:41
I disagree that fans shouldn’t have high expectations of players brought in for high transfer fees. In the era of FPP/ PSR or whatever it is called now, you need to get a bang for your buck. If I was lucky enough to get rid of my 17 year old Mini and be able to afford a top of the range Mercedes, my expectations would be high.


12.) 13 Mar 2024 18:57:57
Jimbo, I think that is what I roughly said. Fans expectations are raised with the size of any transfer fee.

It’s my “personal view” that this isn’t a very sensible way of measuring a player’s talent. The likes of Mudryk, Lavia and Caicedo had transfer fees that were more about other club’s valuation rather than ours. The reverse is also obviously true because if a small fee is paid it doesn’t mean that a player is any less talented

Of course the club can always walk away from a transfer.

One small suggestion, stick with mini. If it was good enough for Kante it is good enough for anyone. Having said that, have 22 year old Merc that I cherish.


13.) 14 Mar 2024 17:46:11
Tom, I agree that the amount of the fee doesn’t necessarily measure the talent of the player but from a recruitment point of view it should do. I accept all clubs have paid high fees for players who haven’t worked out. I just think that when you are paying top end transfer fees it should be for the right player, in he right position who fits the style and identity of the team. The problem is that we don’t have a style or identity at present. To be fair we have brought in some good players for reasonable fees.
As to the Mini, I have been told by a couple of mechanics over the years to hang onto it as the engine fitted is top notch. The problem is the rest of the car is not as durable including a leaking soft top. Speaking of which, I had the top down today, first time this year, for a short period it was a balmy 15C.


14.) 14 Mar 2024 18:16:20
Jimbo, as I said the price for at least three of our players were almost entirely determined by market circumstances.

As we all know, unfortunately there are no guarantees of a player being successful regardless of any fee. This is the same at all clubs.

A rag top mini is a collectors item. It will be worth more than to paid for it over time.


 

 

11 Mar 2024 23:28:53
Just home from the game and these are my takes on our performance.

Gusto was first class, so much so Howe switched Gordon to get away from the lad. He looks like a really good prospect.

Cucarella was excellent in his first full game back, he wasn't helped by Sterling for the first half hour but Poch made a brilliant tactical switch by putting Gallagher out on the left to help him out.

Jackson is getting better as the season progresses. There were so many slaughtering him at the start of the season. He is now looking a real handful and another top signing.

Palmer will I'm sure be voted MOM by many and he just oozes class.

My Choice as MOM was Caicedo. He just breaks up play and works so hard for the team.

Pleased for Mudryk. That cameo performance can only help his confidence.

Lastly if Chelsea ever look to sign a new physio please don't sign the bloke from Newcastle.

TomB

1.) 12 Mar 2024 00:53:39
Get what your saying overall Tom but Gusto was at fault for first goal and Cucarella the other palmer class mudryk looked good Jackson still not for me as a striker doesn’t hold the ball well enough does something good and then the next 7 times gives it away but he’s what we have so hopefully he pushes on. Good to have carney on the field as well tho for a few minutes.


2.) 12 Mar 2024 05:55:43
Respect your opinion Nib. But in my opinion, Jackson was/ is - if anything - pretty good at keeping hold of the ball. I'm not saying that I'm right and you're wrong, but I do find it interesting that we disagree on this :)


3.) 12 Mar 2024 06:49:10
Mudryk is brilliant in the middle. I don't know why poch keeps giving him warnings after plays in the media room after games.


4.) 12 Mar 2024 08:40:21
He is much better than Lukaku, he wants to play for the club Lukaku does not.

He also has a much better attitude than Lukaku.


5.) 12 Mar 2024 09:04:22
Lots of players were at fault for their first goal, Nib. The ball should have been cleared a long time before it came to Gusto.


6.) 12 Mar 2024 10:19:41
Insane to me that Jackson still garners so much grief from Chelsea fans. Offers a lot already and has so much room to grow, plus he's show a lot of improvement in his all around play this season.

22 years old, first season in the prem and cost about 30m. This is his first full year of playing as a striker, and he offers a lot in what has been his more natural position on the left wing as well.

He has scored 1 less goal that Drogba did in his first season at Chelsea in 2 less appearances so far. First Chelsea striker to score 9 league goals since Tammy in 19/ 20 you know.


7.) 12 Mar 2024 10:25:27
Jackson is getting better and better, he was rushing things earlier in the season but is now starting to settle down, his decision making is improving and he showed against Brentford that if you deliver a cross into the box he will get onto it. I think he might emerge as a leader as well, something this young side needs.


8.) 12 Mar 2024 11:21:55
A game full of mistakes by both sides but some good goals and am delighted with the three points. We did pick up pace in second half and great to see Mudryk on score sheet again, along with Palmer and Jackson's slightest of flicks for early opener. Gusto does look the part and am just prayting he can stay fit.

Agree witb positive remarks about Jackson and remember Drogba only scoring c 10 goals in first seasin. But clearly CFC needs another striker, particularly with Nkunku struggling so much with fitness and also because NJ can surely only be better if has more help up front plus may be in off the wing at times.


9.) 12 Mar 2024 11:42:53
For me We sign Osimhen he doesn’t play that simple maybe cup games and a run out now and then.
Don’t no why lukaku got brought up but your right lukaku doesn’t want to play for us but I wouldn’t go as far as saying lukaku isn’t as good as Jackson but we all have our own opinions.


10.) 12 Mar 2024 12:15:23
It was a smart goal from him last night. Looking at the replays I don't think it was going in until he flicked it.

We have Maatsen if we want to go down that path.

My guess is they will stick with Cucarella and Chilly then sell Maatsen. ’.

Cech, of course my understanding or lack of understanding FFP is redundant hence the reason I ask for clarification on how accurate the comments are on the subject. As far as I’m concerned that is one of the selling points of the site.

Surely posting we are are likely to be in breach of any rules needs some explanation.

You and others may well find my “constant disregard” of other people’s concerns about FFP or PSR “infuriating” but I can see no problem in asking the reasons for a such concerns. I find it equally infuriating when fans use the term without any supporting argument.

At some stage it may well happen that we are in breach of some rule or other and if that is the case we will deserve to be punished.

I fully understand fans having concerns about our club’s finances. That’s fine as far as I’m concerned but surely I’m allowed to ask the question why those concerns exist or express my ambivalence.

My health isn’t to bad at the moment thanks Cech. I go back into hospital mid April but hopefully just for an MOT. Stay safe mate.

Cech, I have said many times I do not understand FFP or PSR and I have also given my opinion that both terms are generally weaponised. Every single time I’ve asked a poster to explain them both to me I get zero information.

I am well aware of the term “amortisation” and what it it means but as I don’t know if it’s application at a football club applies to all players (ladies, juniors included) all staff, general capex, salaries, bonuses and transfer fees.

I would humbly suggest that instead of expressing concern about FFP or PSR posters just ask a question or if they have a “factual” comment to make on the subject they express them. Any answers on the subject or factual comment would be helpful to me and I’m sure lots of other posters.

Apparently I have a habit as coming across as “passive aggressive. ” That would never be my intention and I obviously apologise for any unintentional offence caused to any poster.

Of course it’s up to club who our manager is now or next season. I was just seeking clarification on your opinion or your preferred course of action and you have done that. So thanks.

We do have other academy players regularly playing in the first team.

I haven’t got a clue what criteria was used to sign other midfielders but I’m happy enough with the midfield players I’ve seen that we have signed this season.

Jimbo, so you want him sacked then?

Let me make it clear that Conor has impressed me more than I expected this season but hardwork in my opinion has to have a purpose plus end product.

If he chooses not to except the clubs offer then understandably he will almost certainly be sold as was Mount. We do not need any player leaving on a free transfer that’s for sure!

I’m not sure how much it cost to sack TT and he wasn’t appointed by our current owners or GP but Lamps was only temporarily employed anyway and Poch is still employed.

Of course you probably have extra cost that are part of most managers teams.

I personally wouldn’t have Jose back for a third time under any circumstances.
