I mean you couldn't really insult them anymore than appointing Rafa. Not that he is a bad manager but because of the animosity they have toward the ex Liverpool boss. Even heard some fans say they will stay away from the bridge while he is managing the club. The truth is CFC fans know that if they oppose anything Roman does too strongly then all the glory days instantly disappear with all the investment. Why would he consider the fans when they depend on him so much. The situation is very much like a sugar daddy and a kept woman who complains about the way she is treated but is happy to accept the designer hand bags and clothes. She knows that no one else will keep her looking good so she turns a blind eye to any affairs and indescretions at the sacrifice of being a kept woman. There is no integrity in that but that is how it is.
We all know why he didnt want to appoint anyone else long term, i would love it if at the end of the season Guardiola turns round and says he doesn't want the job
Krome, Guardiola seems like the type guy who respects loyalty and gives it back. He won't get that at Chelsea so I don't really see what's in it for him except money.
I would expect more from Guardiola. I'm sure he isn't short of a few bob and managing Chelsea would be sad for a man of his calibre.
This is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil, Chelsea fans are too scared to give roman any stick as they know he is not the type of man to put up with decent, and without him they would be in a sorry state. Even if they talk about meeting FFP and making a profit, in reality it cost more to run Chelsea than the money they make, without him they would have to sell their best players and plummet down the table, even in their last set of financial account roman wrote of 160 million of debt into equity, any normal club would be paying that of for years. Abramovic did not get where he is today without being ruthless, if the day comes that Chelsea fans question him, they will be lying at the bottom of the themes, so to speak lol.
The best option for Chelsea would be for Abramovich to go begging on his knees for Mourinho to come back. About as likely as Gibbs winning golden boot
Chelsea fans are nothing to Roman just as Arsenal fans are nothing to Kroenke or Man Utd fans are nothiing to the Glazers.In fact in all my years of watching football the majority of boards/owners of any club couldn't give two ****s about the fans.That's the way it is and most probably always will be.
What makes you say Arsenal fans mean nothing to Kroenke? Makes very little sense that statement. Without us there is no Arsenal so for him to disregard us as you state would be suicidal.
Without Kroenke Arsenal would not change so much. Without Roman Chelsea would suffer greatly, therefore his regard for the fans and their views mean much less.
Kroenke like other owners knows we'll never stop supporting our respective clubs.Most of our supporters groups e.g Red Action,AST,AISA etc have said ticket prices are too high.Have the club listened ?.The supporters groups have asked for ST's to be made available for the Clock End.Have the club listened ?
100% People will still come to watch Arsenal as long as they do well and with Wenger in charge, the team will continue to do well. Only thing Kroenke cares about is Wenger!
So because of those things you mentioned Kroenke doesn't care about us. Maybe the ticket prices have to be this high to pay off the debt we owe. The higher you pay the quicker the debt gets paid. Is that not just good business? I can't think of one premiership club who has purchased a new stadium and still managed to stay in the the top four? Surely high ticket prices are a side effect of this?
Do you believe ticket prices will drop when the stadium is paid for ? We can't pay the stadium debt sooner as there will be financial penalties
I was watching Arsenal when we were lucky not to get relegated in the 70's so i'm hardly going to stop watching us now.
