On the ownership bust up, Walter and the Saudis are the key. My sense is that Boehly knows the majority of fans will be on his side. Suspect he’s happy to play the long game. Supporters have a role to play here. Make your voices heard. #Chelsea #CFC

I’m hope I’m wrong, but the current lack of signings who are either experienced, leaders, physical or “Premier League proven” is a big worry. Perhaps “tanking” is too pejorative a word, but we definitely seem to be building for the future, not to win in 23/24.

On the SB atmosphere, supportive of a singing stand/moving away fans, but PSR dynamics prioritise the maximization of match day revenues. Given SB’s size, owners will want to increase average revenue per seat. Sadly that means more corporates, more tourists and even less singing.
