I think those few words are so key. We forever as a club seem to think the future will be amazing but it rarely comes. We need to focus on both with equal measure, we signed one player for the now and about four players for the future in the summer and surprise, surprise, we're struggling right now.
So no, it's 0 out of 20 So in reference to my question, why doesn't the Narrative exist about Chelsea being a company nobody would want to work for given they have such a high turnover of staff and have demonstrated they can only win when destabilising the global transfer market - which they now are not in a position to do, so instead collude with other PSR cheats to move around youth players at overinflated prices?
But the strategy didn't work, because even with the same manager they rarely had any consistency in their final league positions between seasons which underlines the dysfunctionality of their approach Most teams of their status (be it earned or artificial) don't find themselves having to win the Champions League in order to qualify for it the following season, they manage it by their league performance

I'd be more than happy for him to leave. Nowhere near as good as he seems to believe he is. Sucked us all in because he was a huge upgrade on Sanchez and Dier, but the guy isn't fit to lace Toby's boots.
It’s not 0 is it? If by your rules it’s from 2020-2021 then they’ve won 3. You're getting yourself in a tangle here.
To be fair, based on Lange’s track record so far, would you really want to lose Romero and trust him to sign an equal or better player? I know I wouldn’t.
His issue is probably with Ange more so than Levy though and he’d be right. Romero digging out the hierarchy is something a few more players could do, might actually force them to act in January.
Reports in Argentina claiming Romero likely to miss 6 weeks. Great choice throwing an unfit CB pairing into the XI, Ange. Worked a treat that.
Cuti's obviously got a ton of leverage, as he knows he's got 18 months on his contract and Levy has far more to lose - not least because Cuti could spin that he was forced out for speaking up after being banished to the Santiago Burgerbun
It doesn`t matter how much money you spend or don`t spend when you have Daniel Philip Levy in charge of decision making. The bloke is the most unsuccessful chairman in this clubs history and has more than outstayed his welcome.
All I know is if given the choice between building a team around Romero now or using Romero's sale to part fund building a team around Micky to flourish two years from now, I'd choose the latter every day of the week. As for Lange, we can blame him all we want. He doesn't set the budget and so far his only glaringly obvious mistake has been signing Werner twice, albeit that does appear to have been done with the manager's blessing.
Just seen the full Romero interview. No wonder it's been quashed for English media outlets. I'm glad he said it like it is. Just wish he'd show that much fight and courage on the pitch.
It’s interesting that for the first time in a while the typical media spin isn’t “Ange has lost the dressing room” or the very regular “players don’t enjoy training methods” and that the word from journos is that Ange still has full support of the players. With Romero’s interview now it may actually increase hope for a January spend up from the board on a couple of genuinely good players… it’s still only about 20% likely that it happens but it’s better than the 10% it was initially looking.
