Why do they need a new ground? Yeah it's **** that they don't own it but it's fine for what they need.

They've definitely got some infrastructure issues but I don't think the ground being upgraded is essential tbh.
It'll do for where they're now and if they drop to the Championship. If they want to fulfil their lofty ambitions with a new chairman, top 4, challenging for cups etc, then they'll have to move with the times and build a modernised stadium. Elite players would rather not play at something resembling a scrapyard these days. It all helps to build the brand.

The infrastructure issues are a pain in the arse for them, though. Everytime they want to do something they have to go off and ask the council first of all and then renegotiate their rent all over again. I'd imagine if they want to be a top club they'd rather have full ownership of the stadium and be able to build around it.
 
Harsh on Shaw. He left his man to pick up the runner which one of the centre backs should have been covering. At first glance I thought it was slab heads man.

I disagree about elite players not wanting to play at **** stadiums. They'll go wherever the money is and won't give hardly any thought to that, I'd wager the training facilities would probably mean more to them than the ground.

Chelsea don't really have a fully modern ground and it's not affected them. Not sure if they've made improvements since Roman bought them?

Yeah the idea of them finishing top 4 and challenging for cups is a mental one that they need to let go of.

Not sure it should be a blame game really. Was just poor defending all round rather than a specific player imo.

Plenty of opportunity to clear it in build up.

It's all supporter/fan bullshit mate.
We have a world class stadium and state of the art training facility's so players will die to come to us.

Players point of view.........what you paying and is the grass on the field decent?
 
Yep and so what's your wager with @Gessa for this season's renewal ?

Evening by the way.

No way I don't believe you.

Seems you've been dishonoured mate.

Not even sure why the Fred still open tbh.

Why's Tobes change his avatar back anyway? He did change it to your one for a while didn't he?
