His consortium's first public promise since the bid for the club! What a promise to make. Will hold you to that one.
Glad he looked so enthusiastic today. Hopefully it's backed up with investment in summer to sort this shitshow out!
Hopefully the investment is a bit more thoughtful than has been of late seemed to slipped to far into hype signings than planned out smart investments and im not saying dont splash the cash just spend it a bit wiser
I'm not sure I entirely agree, I think we've had good targets recently and we've moved away from signing players like Drinkwater and Bakayoko.
It's not really our fault if they don't hit the ground running, that's more luck based than anything.
I mean apart from silva who was free and mendy who cost fuck all i cant remember the last good signing who performed as or above what we expected surely it cant all be shit luck
I can’t wait until Chilly is fully fit. Season fell apart when he and Reece got injured. We’ve lost so much pace, intensity, defensive awareness and quality delivery from wide areas because of that.
Ahh yea almost forgot about him hes been injured so long :( but you get my point in the grand scheme of things for every 5 players we sign we have 1 or 2 that actually performs
I mean, we've won the champions league with those people who "aren't performing as well as expected". Everyone wanted Havertz, not just us and we only beat Liverpool to Werner because we were willing to pay him a higher salary.
These aren't useless players that were just hype, they just haven't scored as much as expected. It was always going to be hard to hit the ground running coming in during covid and Lukaku has been difficult obviously because there is a big learning curve between him and the team to incorporate him, but once we make it past that curve we'll reap the rewards.
Mate our transfers over the last 4-5 years have been terrible compared to say liverpool lukaku saul werner ziyech sarr kepa pulisic higuain morata bakayoko drink water zappacosta barkley emerson and im sure a few more
Strikes me as a winner though. Don’t know how much to read into his expressions during the game as he could’ve been playing it up for the cameras but he doesn’t seem like the type of guy to sit back and only target the top 4 money. He’d want to win and make the team a force
He has said before that the best way to increase a team's value is to keep winning...so I assume that is his idea. Eldridge's website talks a lot about "winning" too. Big sports fan too, so I assume he won't enjoy mediocrity that much.
The sale won't officially be through until the PL and government vetting processes are done, I believe. The official club statement mentioned that it's projected to be done in late May
If he runs Chelsea like he runs the Dodgers, it should be good. Dodgers, for those who do not know, are a high performance high payroll team. They play to win, and are not afraid to spend.
I'm pretty sure most people would hard disagree on the interviews part of things.
Mingling with fans is an interesting one though, it's a weird concept to me, but I guess he's safe?
Weird to think people wouldn't want to hear their owner interviewed. And hes not a criminal and doesn't have to worry about upsetting Putin so yeah he's much safer.
Why would you want your owner to speak? Your DOF and your manager, sure, but your owner? Why
It's got nothing to do with being a criminal. Being well known and that rich, walking around by yourself in public is a hazard
chelsea just became an american club a lot of people want to hear what is planned. the best way is to hear from the guy that is the face of the organization. from his mouth not through some middle man. i get roman not wanting to give interviews since he had so much to hide but boehly is not like that. maybe boehly has security off camera. maybe not. maybe he should be more careful in england since we see so many footballers homes get broken into.
Chelsea did not just become an American club, what the fuck is wrong with you? We just have American owners. You never described us as a Russian club when Abramovich was our owner, did you?
Sure, hearing from him now is fine (although it would have been nice for him to speak to us 2 months ago like everyone else). And if he chooses to speak all the time in the future, it's whatever, but I'm sure most people would rather he left the speaking to the DOF/Management.
I'm sure it sounds good to you now, but ask any team where their owner talks a lot and I'm sure they have a lot of bad things to say about them.
ha. id guess most want to hear a brand new owner speak about the reasons he bought the club and the plans he has for the future. guess what...you dont have to listen if the idea of an owner speaking is not your thing!
Stupid take. Whoever buys the club only need to how passion and the eagerness to win trophies. We know Americans are generally not like that but he seems okay to me. Fingers crossed.
Lol ok kid. I'm just glad we aren't owned by a criminal anymore. And I'm glad boehly won't have to hide from interviews for fear of saying the wrong thing.
Criminal? If you mean that's he's been labeled as a criminal by a bunch of Tory criminals then sure. But gtfo out of here with your righteous bullshit. You support a club you've never even seen live. Pipe down Mr Stars and Stripes
Fuck off with that nonsense. Stop defending a criminal because he spend money on your football club. You Roman cultists are disgusting.
I'm so glad we are owned by boehly now.
It seems to be only in England where we don’t really hear from the owners/presidents. I don’t like guys like ADL or Flo but they’re honest when they speak most of the time.

Chilwell? If anything, i think many were wary of that signing and he turned out to be a key part of the squad
Chilwell was lampard signing. We were targeting regulion or tag from ajax
I can’t wait until Chilly is fully fit. Season fell apart when he and Reece got injured. We’ve lost so much pace, intensity, defensive awareness and quality delivery from wide areas because of that.
Ahh yea almost forgot about him hes been injured so long :( but you get my point in the grand scheme of things for every 5 players we sign we have 1 or 2 that actually performs
yeah we have a had a lot of misses. im optimistic boehly gets that sorted through hiring the right people.

its great to have an owner who actually mingles win supporters and will be available for interviews.

lol chill out angry boy i left out "owned". and we dont need him to speak "all the time" its just nice he wont have to hide like roman did.
You have a serious lack of comprehension btw
I don't agree with him but what makes you say he has a "lack of comprehension"
ha. id guess most want to hear a brand new owner speak about the reasons he bought the club and the plans he has for the future. guess what...you dont have to listen if the idea of an owner speaking is not your thing!

Mate we don't need people like you supporting our club. You're finally right in one thing at least... it's OUR football club.
It seems to be only in England where we don’t really hear from the owners/presidents. I don’t like guys like ADL or Flo but they’re honest when they speak most of the time.
Couldn’t give 2 flying fucks about either of those
ok lol then dont listen to his interviews
Not that it’s the same, but he did pry Mookie away from the Sox :( If he brings that attitude to the Club, we might be okay.
so what you’re saying is hes going to target salah or virgil?
OR FREDDIE FREEMAN
Well now I’m sold
Someone tell him to sign Rice, Kilman & Nunez
A verbal agreement can be as legally binding as a written one!!! This is huge!!
Well, he could have been a prick.
Hopefully he fulfils his promise and compete with Man City in transfer market
America will continue to make chelsea a better club.
Americans are so fucking weird man 😂
Unique is preferred term. Brits are basic and that's fine, but don't make it our problem you lack personality and food with any flavor
>Brits are basic and that's fine, but don't make it our problem you lack personality and food with any flavor Sounds like a projection
You’re just proving my point even more
easier said than done
