We've ended up in the best situation we could have hoped for considering the circumstances. Now that this ownership have officially got their feet under the table, we'll get to see the kind of ownership they want to be. They talk a good game, I have to say but now the work starts.
Seeing what they managed to win under him yeah he really was a god for their club.
I don't know, apart from his beef with Abramovich, the team was doing extremely well and he was well loved by the players and the fans. Inter aside, that early Chelsea period was probably the most blissful time of the last 20-ish years of his career in terms of dressing room dynamics and relationships. We could carried that momentum on for another year or two.
I'm constantly flip flopping my opinion on that one.
Well i don't know, even if somehow didn't implode the avenue of him winning trophies till 2009 were kinda limited, we were hitting overdrive and Fergie seemed to have found his number as we beat his inter quite comfortably and almost did the say to his Madrid side before Nani being sent off.
Was Roman allowed to keep anything? He is under sanctions, the British government was very adamant he not earn a single pound. I havent read the spesifics on the deal yet so I assume its explained there.
Calm it, Chadsea
It's nacho club anymore Roman.
The man drove away Kevin Be Bruyne. I do t want him touching our squad again. He’ll come I and chop Reece James for not being skinny enough or something .
It's obviously just guess work, but Lampard, Drogba etc were at their literal peak in that period. We got to the CL final and lost out on the league by 2 points with Grant that same season and the SF in Europe the following season despite the Big Phil fiasco. There's a chance Moruinho could have swayed one of those 2 CL's in our favour and maybe the 2008 title that required just 1 extra win.
But he didn't implode, and although we obviously don't know what would have happened, in 2007, there were no signs of any impending implosion. I think we could have nicked at least 1 title away from United during that run of 3 consecutive titles had Mourinho stayed.
You've misunderstood the conversation. No-one is suggesting we should bring Mourinho back to Chelsea or getting rid of Tuchel.
You should, it would be fecking fantastic. Do you have any more pretty physios for him to hound out of the club?
I consider Falling out with the owner implosion but fair enough the locker room didn't turn on him the way later ones did.
Fair enough, I suppose it wasn't the kind of implosion we've become used to with Mourinho in the years since, and also considering Abramovich had hired and fired about a million managers since it kinda puts the Mourinho firing into perspective.
To be honest that's pretty standard practice when new ownership comes in though isn't it? they'd want their own people in key positions.
The 2019 sporting director of the year incoming, potentially?
Yeah I think that’s the issue. Much like what happened to United when Fergie, Gill and the rest left in one go.
Seems like she's staying on through the summer at least to ease the transition - glad to hear that as her ability to sell players will be sorely needed!
Paul Mitchell at Monaco is linked. Luis Campos would have been a good pick up, has a real eye for talent. As did Emenalo tbf, more often than not
The board were too stingy to write a cheque
Emenalo did sign a lot of good young players, he has a lot of connections and that’s why there were fans and people at the club who could never fully trust him or his motives.
He's one ugly fecker, isn't he. Predator, Connecticut fratboy vibes
Mitchell has just moved on the Monaco board. Won’t be going anywhere.
Having watched him on videos, I don’t get those vibes at all. I know two people that have spoke to him at Stamford Bridge and they echo what everyone else says. Genuine down to earth guy.
Might just give it to Cech if Marina leaves

Everyone knew he was talking about both sides, didn't they? I don't see how anyone can be surprised, his statement was pretty obvious.
It didn’t seem clear to me. Fair enough if it was clear to everyone else but at the time I thought he was heavily implying it would go to Ukrainians only.
).He's russian and close to Putin. The club was effectively taken away from him.Who can explain to me all that Chelsea sale? It was his club but he was forced to sell it without getting his money? Too many holes in my understanding of that whole process. What if he refused to sell it? Where is that money?
Any kind person to explain it (short version is enough
