The recruitment by the the gang of three 

"Gang of three"!?.I would like to think that more people are involved.

The 'three' people are just the face of a multi- billion pound operation.

So was Liverpools then seeing as they wanted two of them or Arsenal's seeing as they wanted Mudryk. 

I'm sure some of it was based on previous work they'd done but my point is it's not in isolation it's an ever diminishing pool of talent that everyone is looking at. 

Seeing as how Brighton are miles and miles above us in the league maybe we should continue the policy to get where we want to be. 

 

Personally, I look back on Mudryk and think we signed him when Arsenal were linked and getting every transfer right. Now, Arsenal have proved they don’t know what they are doing with sweet water Havertz and would have also failed with the Ukrainian gym rat.

Why don't we just have two threads.  One for what we thing the press are saying and one for what seems reasonable.
This obsession with mapping the real world to the media leaves us all vulnerable.

Don't really know where to post this.

I have no idea who these people are or what exactly they do, but some recent executive appointments:-

Director of Communications: Tom Roddy

Chief Operating Officer: Jason Gannon

Chief Financial Officer: Adriel Lares

Chief Revenue Officer: Casper Stylsvig

[Sciatika]

This looks like a classic US corporate framework, to me. All of these will probably report to the CEO, Chris Jurasek. I think the old organisation under RA was more like an SME with just a handful of major players. None of it will make much difference to the football side.

Yes.

Never heard of a CRO before but I'm pretty sure there will soon be a game called CRO 24 where the game is to maximise the value of multiple income streams.  It will at least keep those at the Investment conferences happy.

Yes, we can all recall those fantastic Strasbourg sides of the past.

Even now I find it so difficult to understand the seeming total lack of common sense that would appear to have been displayed by the new owners. We won the CL in 2021. The team needed a big refresh, but with CAREFUL and PRAGMATIC handling we could have maintained a reasonable standard while preparing to challenge at the top again. That seems a remote possibility now for at least 5 years. Todd ‘n’ Eggy were like a bull in a china shop when they should have been the opposite. That’s what frustrates me. The stupidity, because that’s what it was.

The stupidity of the insular arrogant: "My world experience is definitive and has a universal application". 

It's the same insularity and institutional immaturity which leads the USA into disastrous social and geopolitical policy decisions, despite the wealth and intellectual capital at their disposal.

You could well be right, Richard. A penny for Todd’ n’Eggy’s thoughts right now.

You pay a penny? They'd rather they did the paying, and it absolutely has to be at least £80, no £90 million.

US is done.  That is what is so tragic about Chelsea going from being Russian to American just after the the world went Chinese.

Can these owners make themselves even more detestable? Pat Nevin given the heave ho.

I read somewhere that the decision was taken by the bloke who's just been given the heave ho himself and that because of that there's a chance he could go back.  I'm not holding my breath.

I suppose as they cut the match program content by 50% so it now looks like a pamphlet, whilst raising the price of course, they need more space to fit in their Pravda content which runs alongside the social media content aimed at Gen Z brain washed numpties.

Loved Pat’s column. And I loved watching him at Chelsea! Magnificent player - one of my all-time faves - and a great guy. 💙💙💙
