Andrew 4762 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Sounds great to me, 15 years down the line we might be able to sign a good player who wants to "come home" for the twilight of his career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If Chelsea are paying for cameras and analysis equipment and it helps the boys club financially, then fine. I don't think either side of it are doing anything wrong. It's Ashley failing, yet again, to have a modicum of football business sense. Have ties with all the boys clubs in the region, throw pennies at them to foster a good relationship and you will have several production lines of saleable assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrokendoll 9244 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 not really sure which thread this article goes in, but as ashley is indisputably a cunt and in charge of a now cunt club that's done yet another cuntish thing, it might as well go in here.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56243610 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30620 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I think in these sort of cases it’s normal to leave it in the hands of your insurer’s solicitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've waited months for arbitration but now it's paused? If we get relegated, the takeover falls through and Bruce remains as manager then I can see us doing a Sunderland tbh.

Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Thank god for that “safe pair of hands” Steve Bruce to steer us clear of the drop while Ashley sells the club. Fuck me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35095 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Relegation is precisely what the owner deserves. If it wasn’t apparent how little he understands about football you’d think it was his aim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 What an utter crock of shit. While I don’t think we are being sold, why would they pause any action currently going on because of this? There’s literally nothing anyone outside the playing and coaching staff can do at this point, they had opportunities to sack Bruce and get someone competent, as well as bring players in back in January. So now they’re just going to stand about and spending their time hoping something happens and just not bother doing any type of work so they can focus on hoping? What an utter fucking shambles or a club we are under this uninterested wanker, sadly a case where the fanbase doesn’t deserve this at all but relegation is something Ashley and Bruce really do deserve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. There’s no way Edwards has a clue what’s going on like. You know that because his source is the manager 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation would probably suit the consortium, as the EFL would more than likely pass them without much contest and you’d assume they would get the club cheaper, the latter being exactly why Ashley wouldn’t sell and would gamble on us getting back up before trying to sell again. Utter fucking nightmare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
