Roman will leave and Chelsea will be ducked... they've been saying it for years. FFP will come in and we will be ducked blah blah blah
Not sure about another investor, more likely he'd just float CFC and make around half his investment back. Doubt another big investor would choose a club that someone else has already pumped up - no ego factor in taking over an already successful club. If he left you wouldn't be screwed, but you would probably fall back to the level of Arsenal - making the top four but challenging for trophies much less frequently. Pretty much why no one's calling for his head!
you seem to be missing the point. Its HIS club , not the fans club. The club BELONGS to him and he can /will do exactly what he wants. Divvy I guess they should be grateful that he doesnt want to play in the team himself. Thats been done by powerful owners in the far east ..
I could just imagine him halfway through a game getting pissed off and stropping off doing the 'well it's my ball and I'm going home' thing
Chelsea is a bit like Saudi Arabia if it was a country. So rich it could never spend all the money in hand. The price to pay is the fans/ people have no relevance. the leader does what they like, while the population/fans are bought off with higher living standards/success. Trophy's or tyranny , you have made your choice.
Why would we call for his head? More often than not we watch excellent football at the Bridge and we have been successful during his tenure. He has also improved the youth structure and we have training facilities second to none. I think you should be commenting on why the Glazers are still using your club as a meal ticket and a cash cow to repay their vast debts USA bound.
Dear Deirdre, The owner of my company is extremely good at running the company although, this is not his specific trade . I've worked with him for nearly ten years and our company has had unparalelled success. We all feel he has acted in our best interest. He's also emloyed some of the best managers I've had the pleasure of working with. Recently, he decided to employ a manager (with a great CV) that many in the company and more experienced in the industry consider to be a conniving clown. We were also very fond of the previous manager and have made our feelings clear about his dismissal and the new appointment. Recently people I know from rival companies have told me I should burn down the factory and make the owner's life hell. Please advise. P.S. These rival companies have histories of corruption and bribery.
Intrigued by "Born Again" Christian's concern about our present plight....touching. Regardless of who's in charge I don't anticipate a 180 degree turnaround in our fortunes; its a question of scratching around for points until the cavalry arrives in January.
I thought the cavalry had arrived in the summer....Oscar, Hazard, the right back, Moses, Marin...that's £85million!!
None of them are a replacement for Drogba though. United bought RVP when they already had Rooney, Hernandez, Berbatoff and Welbeck. Regardless of the money we've spent, no club can let Drogba, Anelka and Kalou leave and bring in just Moses who can maybe play up front.
Wouldn't mind seeing Abramovich run out for us. He scored a cracking overhead goal for Sweden in a hat trick last week. Got to be better than Torres.
Maybe. But Chelsea has the best location in Britain maybe Europe and rich investors like living in London. There would be no shortage of rich oligarchs or petrogarchs wanting to buy Chelsea for say £500m plus
Mr Smith--He spends, he attends--he loves the Blues! Dont , for heavens sake allow it to get to you! Other clubs have fairy godfathers but their bank balances aren't the same!
