I genuinely reckon there was a conversation Jane where some focus group results were presented on how the club lacks identity and selling Gallagher would only make it worse. Eghbali‘s like, „Ok guys. Who’s got any creative ideas on improving our identity?“ and some yes man on his year abroad from the States is like „How about we hire an identity coach?“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was that then? I've lost count of all these 'employees'. They're all a waste of time anyway. Actually, I've just looked Owen Eastwood up and he's a Kiwi. Weird.

His last job was selling suits modelled by the invisible man. He thought it was an excellent idea, but people saw through it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Since he is not starting until Nov. 2025, and he will lead a project on Chelsea's history and identity, which will impact the environments at Stamford Bridge and the Cobham training centre, I wonder if he will have something to do with the project to revamp the stadium.

So one of the owners with ultimate accountability has the final say on whether or not a club spends millions of pounds ... Erm, good? These guys are idiots, but we should all be able to see when journalists are just desperate for content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every business decision in every business ever. A business/financial final decision is different from a decision on a players ability...by the time it gets to the sign cheque time it should be just that...can we afford it ?..yes/no...That's the decision,..imho.

A coach who can organise a defence , make the side play as one entity not three disparate parts and knows how set pieces worK?

Pochettino does none of this When the average height of the side is 178cm's it probably doesn't matter how organised on set pieces one is. That aside, there's obviously a lot more Poch can do on field to get more out of this group. Albeit, I do appreciate how he's continued to keep the moral within the group pretty steady despite the up's and down's of the season. I do think this goes a bit under the radar, particularly if you look at how things were in similar circumstances last season under Pots and Lamps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea's pre-tax loss in the past 12 months is £90.1m compared to £121.4m in the previous year.🔵 Chelsea grew overall revenue from £481.3m to £512.5m, made profits on disposal of player registrations and fixed assets of £142.2m, and had increases in other income. Chelsea also increased commercial revenue from £33.0m to £210.1m. Edit : think Ben made a mistake in commercial revenue it increases 33M from 177.1 million to 210.1M million. Ben Jacobs This is the whole story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boratsbrother Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 How in the blue he'll can a football club have revenue of over half a billion yet still lose a ton of money? I'd love to see this lot stand in front of the Dragons Den team and try and explain their way out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
