7 straight defeats for Lumpard across Eve and now Che
He’s an arrogant cunt, but even he must be thinking what the f am I doing here. Hope Madrid bash them up
Yep, really hope this happens.
Our season had been abject and really painful for the most part, and being Spurs fans, we are happy to share our suffering.
I don't care how but Madrid must finish off these cnuts.
Boehly should manage the remaining games himself.
How does Fat Frank keep getting Premier League gigs? He's useless.
Sounds like he's trying!
Todd Boehly delivered a pre-Real Madrid pep talk to Chelsea’s players in the Stamford Bridge dressing-room after the latest demoralising defeat, by Brighton on Saturday, in which he labelled the club’s plight as “embarrassing.”
Co-owners Boehly, Behdad Eghbali and Hansjorg Wyss are understood to have all entered the home dressing room in the aftermath of the 2-1 loss to Brighton, which was Chelsea’s third straight defeat.
After interim head coach Frank Lampard had told the players his thoughts, Boehly addressed the squad and is understood to have described the current situation, in terms of results and Chelsea being in the bottom half of the Premier League table, as “embarrassing”.
Chelsea’s owners made sure Lampard had finished delivering his verdict before making their own presence felt in the dressing-room. But Boehly is said to have left the players in no doubt that he, Eghbali and Wyss had spent £600 million in the transfer market to win and that they have been falling short of expectations.
He also tried to strike a positive note, reiterating the fact that Tuesday night’s game against Real represents a chance to keep the season alive, end the embarrassment and give Chelsea’s fans something to be proud about.
While Boehly’s pep-talk may raise further questions over the scale of their involvement, the owners’ decision to enter the dressing room also represents an acknowledgement of their own responsibility in what has turned into a hugely challenging first season after buying the club from Roman Abramovich.
Chelsea are two goals down to Real Madrid from the first leg, ahead of which Boehly boldly predicted the team were going to win 3-0 against the reigning European champions.
Boehly now needs his prediction in Madrid to come true at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea to miraculously progress and stop his first season as co-owner ending in disappointment in Europe, as well as domestically.
The American billionaire came under fire from supporters sitting above him at Stamford Bridge on Saturday and has also faced criticism from pundits after he and co-controlling owner Eghbali sacked two head coaches, Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter, inside 12 months and spent a fortune in their first two transfer windows.
Boehly appeared to be remonstrating with disgruntled fans at the Brighton game, although they will no doubt agree with his assessment that Chelsea’s run of form and position in the bottom half of the table is “embarrassing.”
Boehly was also filmed by supporters describing the draw with Everton as a “s----- f------ game” last month, which proved to be Potter’s penultimate game in charge.
"As long as they open their wallet up; anyone is better than X"
I still shake my head at just how different Matt Law's reporting on Chavs is totally opposite on how he "reports" on Spurs.
There is no assassination here, you get the feeling that this info is directly from Boehly himself, sold to him as a positive thing that he's doing. This part evidences this precisely:
"Chelsea’s owners made sure Lampard had finished delivering his verdict before making their own presence felt in the dressing room. But Boehly is said to have left the players in no doubt that he, Eghbali and Wyss had spent £600 million in the transfer market to win and that they have been falling short of expectations.
He also tried to strike a positive note,................."
Offshore cash and huge loans: leak reveals how Roman Abramovich funded Chelsea’s success
Exclusive: Network of companies used to route fortune made from the oil fields of Siberia into Stamford Bridge

Just seems to be more evidence of how RA was Putin's man.
Guardian and others, (perhaps Matt Law if he can break away from commenting on us?) should be answering where the promised money to charity ended up; they have this as one of the end paragraphs
His lawyers said: “The sale of Chelsea FC was conducted under licence from the UK government and our client stated that the full proceeds of the sale will be donated to a charitable foundation when he announced the sale of the club, prior to the imposition of sanctions.”
It's like your parents telling you when you were 16yrs old, that you look good as you left the house for a night out. The reality meant your mates thought that your jeans were shite and took the piss all night.
I hate this twat with a passion. Here he is again with his comedy classics...........
