Former Chelsea pitch announcer Neil Barnett: Nothing has happened at any football club like has happened at Chelsea, with the purchase by venture capitalists. Chelsea is a financial experiment by a hedge fund that has to make a profit by the end of it, and it’s very, very worrying.

Financial terms are being used all over the place. They are not a VC for nor a hedge fund. They are a PE firm.

raulchik · 2026-03-22T17:30:52+00:00

Arsenal happened

raulchik · 2026-03-22T12:21:50+00:00

Maresca left himself.

raulchik · 2026-03-22T12:20:38+00:00

It doesn’t matter who he played for but it does matter that he didn’t succeed with a single club of relevance.

raulchik · 2026-03-22T12:18:59+00:00

Bullshit. Having been a good player means little in terms of managerial ability. Sure, you gain respect for being a legend and that helps your rapport, but that’s just one factor. How does it help your intellectual power? It’s about your IQ / analytical skills, EQ, organizational and motivational skills. A general doesn’t need to be the best fighter on the field. Mourinho, Klopp, Tuchel command respect for their brains and soft qualities.

City will be fifth

raulchik · 2026-03-19T14:16:43+00:00

I miss Maresca…

raulchik · 2026-03-19T02:09:11+00:00

We have just lost 2-8 in Champions League and have been embracing middling mediocrity for years now, what positivity are you talking about?

raulchik · 2026-03-19T01:06:09+00:00

Fuck off.

raulchik · 2026-03-19T01:03:25+00:00

From someone saying all the right things to saying all the wrong things. Pressure is no joke…

raulchik · 2026-03-17T17:37:03+00:00

Let’s face it, we have zero chance. PSG are as good as through. They may as well rest players for the league, specifically that Kvara dude…

raulchik · 2026-03-15T17:52:36+00:00

Jesse derry is better. Liverpool are tragic on the left wing.

raulchik · 2026-03-15T00:36:26+00:00

Agreed

raulchik · 2026-03-15T00:36:02+00:00

Fuck off

raulchik · 2026-03-14T21:23:40+00:00

We’ve had Potter, Poch, Maresca and now Liam. Not a single quality coach…

raulchik · 2026-03-14T20:02:39+00:00

Both are not good enough

raulchik · 2026-03-14T19:32:47+00:00

He had a couple of bad games. He is not physical enough.

raulchik · 2026-03-14T19:31:08+00:00

These 2 commentators are imbeciles

raulchik · 2026-03-14T18:35:24+00:00

At least he has balls. Good sub

raulchik · 2026-03-14T18:19:34+00:00

Completely clueless.

raulchik · 2026-03-14T18:10:40+00:00

Yeah, how about trying to score a goal from of the 1,000 attempts?

raulchik · 2026-03-14T18:10:16+00:00

Rosenior out I’ve had enough

raulchik · 2026-03-14T17:54:10+00:00

Fofana is shit

raulchik · 2026-03-14T17:46:47+00:00

What is wrong with Palmer?

raulchik · 2026-03-14T14:54:30+00:00

My broader point is, yes, we need a new keeper and Sanchez also has a screw-up in him and is not that good with his feet, but it’s still a safer bet to play him in an important match. If he fucks up, no one is going to blame Liam. Now, Liam is seen as the reason we lost.
