Blues

🚨🚨🔵🔵🔵🚨🚨 As we enter the first international break, our position remains clear. Significant change is still required at Chelsea Football Club. While there were slight improvements this summer, we believe the sporting leadership are being given far too much grace for another window that has left the manager short in key areas; particularly defence and midfield. The squad remains littered with players who, whether through age, experience or ability, are not currently at the level required. After five Premier League games, we now have the worst defence in the league and haven’t kept a clean sheet since January 17. Considering the vast expenditure on players, that is unacceptable and embarrassing. This squad still lacks sufficient quality, experience, character and leadership, and appears unable to withstand a few injuries. Selling Enzo Fernandez without signing a replacement, after weeks of briefings suggesting otherwise, only reinforced our concerns and again insulted fans’ intelligence. We were told there would be “self reflection” after last season. However, Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart and Joe Shields remain in position. This follows failure to reach the Champions League in three seasons out of four. Sporting directors at Chelsea should ultimately be judged on the team they build and the results it produces. Being able to trade players at high volumes, when many of those players should not have been at Chelsea in the first place, is not sufficient performance. After four years, we have seen enough. We have no faith in the current sporting leadership and believe change is required before the next transfer window. We urge supporters, whether at games or online, as well as those in the media and punditry, to direct the appropriate scrutiny towards the sporting directors, Behdad Eghbali and Clearlake Capital. Xabi Alonso is a manager with a strong track record who we believe needs not only time, but sufficient support from the structure in place. Years of poor decision making and incompetence at leadership level have created an untenable situation. That is where the accountability must sit. #CLEARLAKEOUT #WINSTANLEYOUT #STEWARTOUT #SHIELDSOUT
