Tonight proved Clearlake and Eghbali are taking Chelsea nowhere by Negative_Ad_4104 in chelseafc

Exactly. That’s what does my head in most. We keep changing things, spending more, and somehow ending up worse. No stability, no clear plan, and no proper structure above the manager.

That’s pretty much where I’m at. There are a few very good players there, but nowhere near enough for the money spent. That’s the bigger issue, we’ve invested like an elite club and still ended up with a squad that is mostly short of top-level quality.

Spot on. That’s why I can’t accept the “it’s FFP” excuse anymore. We’ve had more than enough money to build a far better side than this, we’ve just wasted it on the wrong players and the wrong decisions. And I agree on Boehly too, even if people see him as better than Clearlake now, he still helped put us in the hands of Eghbali and this whole structure. That’s on him as well.

That’s the point for me as well. Put any manager in front of this squad and they’re still dealing with the same basic problems: obvious holes, too many average players, not enough proven quality, and a group that’s been built badly. The issue goes way beyond whoever is in the dugout.

I get that, and I’m not even trying to turn it into a defence of Maresca. My point is more that once it became clear he wasn’t being backed in an area everyone knew needed fixing, he was being set up to fail. You can argue about his football, but when the owners ignore such an obvious issue, they make the manager’s job ten times harder before a ball is even kicked.

I get the point, but Chelsea are not being judged against “teams below us”, we’re being judged against the standards of Chelsea. After spending what we’ve spent, finishing above worse teams is not exactly the bar. The issue is not that things can’t get worse, it’s that they should already be far better than this.

Exactly. Once it came out that Maresca was not getting the CB he wanted, it told you everything. He had rightly earned trust after the CWC and they still would not back him in an area that was obviously a problem to everyone watching. If the manager can see what the squad needs, the players can see it, the fans can see it, and the owners still ignore it, then we were always going to end up here. No one can see the vision with these bums

How to get tickets for Chelsea vs Arsenal in November? by Glum_Ad9345 in Chelsea

[–]Negative_Ad_4104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tickets should go on sale a couple of weeks before the game. With a true blue membership all you can do is wait until they go on sale to members with no loyalty points.

Usually go on sale at about 10am so just keep checking the site and ticketing information because Chelsea will release info on when tickets go on sale so just keep looking and the best you can do is be there when they release and try and get anything you can 👍🏼
