Arsenal have had a transfer ban for years, whats it like

Appeal and get one more window in. Then bring back some reinforcements.

That image is about refuges,

The last thing we want is people thinking Chelsea fans are racist.

I must report that image to the twitter police because they are not real players. Fake news eh, what can you do,

Chelsea look like they are heading for a long term downturn:

Roman doesn't care.

There is no new investment for the ground.

The loan players are a mixed bunch as is the youth team, so even if they opt for that route they will not be a top 4 side.

Fewer managers will be attracted because the contracts and potential compensation packages will not be as lucrative as before.

I cannot see an ex Chelsea player turning things around as a manager without major investment which will take time

As they rarely fill their ground, the lack of Champions League money will truly f##k them but not as badly as Leeds.

How do you know Roman doesn’t care ? He’s obviously got the hump as he’s lost his visa hence he thought why the fuck should I build a new ground, create loads of new jobs and invest in the community. He probably has a point.

Rarely fill the ground ? It’s Chelsea not City mate. Every PL game is always sold out. At least be factual. Mind you, the turgid football currently on offer may change that.

An appeal, one window and spend big will still attract a decent manager. Agree though, giving jobs to ex players doesn’t normally work. Starts well and ends in tears.

Football goes in cycles as you well know. It may well be our turn. If it is well so be it. RA has been a fantastic owner and perhaps he will continue to be in the future.

Looks like Maurizio Sarri could be gone at the end of the season, if not before. Would Mr Abramovich take a punt on Mauricio Pochettino ?

No manager of any repute will go to Chelsea any more, unfortunately. Its become too obvious the players completely control that club.

Hopefully he will be gone but I don’t think we would employ another manager who doesn’t know how to win trophies

[Hillman avenger]

I can't see why Pocettino would go there.

He has choices.

Seems to me Chelsea are in decline and it won't be helped by their fans' impatience. If you got a good manager who would rebuild the squad and the talent supply over three years, he wouldn't last one year.

Abramovich is clearly bored with it and there is the massive issue of how he could get his money out without torpedoing the club.

Not sure he's bored, just pissed that he can't get into the country.

Beg to differ.
He can get in now with his Israeli passport.
He frequently doesn't bother to turn up. Even for the big games.
And I wonder when the balloon goes up about the Trump money-laundering, its effects could be pretty widespread. He might well feel safer back in Russia.
