Not that I recall. Nothing like whats happening with Newcastle. But we had tasted some success in recent years, won a couple FA cups, a league cup, a European Cup winners Cup, We even missed out on the league title by 4 points in 1999. Ken Bates tried his heart out, with some help from Matthew Harding. There was no where the disgust towards him that Geordies have toward Ashley. To be fair to the Geordies, I think more than half the celebration is getting rid of Mike Ashley, rather than celebrating their new owner being an evil ****er.
Here's where you've got things mixed up... Those scene's were in part largely down to a 15 year effort to get Mike ashley to **** off The fact the owners are worth 700 billion was just the cherry on the cake. It's also worth pointing out that Chelsea just woke up and it was done. This had been 18 months of uncertainty, so the outcome was a huge relief. You're welcome Gary
I was jealous of you having Harding, Roman just pissed me off because he had **** all to do with Chelsea. I think that's why I don't hate GSB with the vitriol of other supporters, I know Gold really is a hammer, just wish Sullivan had learned to shut his mouth 10 years ago. If he hadn't felt the need to constantly lie like we're mug punters that have walked onto his 2nd hand car lot and he has a lemon to sell, instead of fans who filled out the ground in the championship they'd probably be considered our best owners. Ironically they may actually fulfill their promise, though through sheer luck than anything they've actually done.
She's gone a bit Bride of Wildenstein, but I don't like to take the piss because I'm not sure if it's illness related. She was diagnosed with Huntington's in 2013. 10 to 20 year life expectancy, so she might not have long left, unfortunately. No clear connection between the two, but still.
Ken Bates ran the club horribly, massively overspending to the point of bankruptcy. Harding dug him out of that hole for a short while, allowing you to win some trophies. Then the anti-Santa slagged him off after his unfortunate death in a helicopter crash. "I don't believe evil should triumph and he was an evil man." "This is a much happier ship at Chelsea now he's no longer around". Massive piece of ****. Chelsea, Leeds and Rhodesia. Sums him up.
Yeah its ****ing morons like this that make me despair. Imagine asking a bunch of geordies a question like that. Stupid ****.
Well any true Chelsea man wouldnt have gone to Leeds! But he is a businessman at the end of the day, not a fan. Harding was a fan, which is why he is loved
Dry your eyes mate thats my club speaking up for gay rights in Football. You're just sniffing around trying to cause trouble.
