I can excuse the footballing performance for now, as I can see that it’s a long term plan that may take a while, but this article does bring up a lot of the the other things that leave a particularly bad taste for fans that in my opinion are far more worrying.
i mean a trophy/good results would quickly make that “irreversible toxicity” seem quite reversible
Think that ship of Chelsea decency sailed many years ago.
Now they’re just shit
Chelsea, toxic? Nooooo way
Chris Jurasek is a big issue here and he may be a good CEO for a venture capital firm but certainly not a football club! He even told a new group of staff in a welcome meeting when asked by a new member “do you support Chelsea” his reply was ‘I don’t like football and see fans as customers’
I mean I can forgive an American who has come from a completely different business structure for not actually having supported Chelsea in the past or having a love for football but at the very least say something like “I’m quickly falling in love with the game and especially Chelsea”. That would have sufficed.
The best CEO’s in the world are in the positions they are not only for their business acumen but they have very good soft skills and in this instance a very basic skill of ‘diplomacy deflecting’ would have been the basic ask.
He needs to go!
People can say what they like about Chelsea fans but they can kick off when they want to.
Even daddy Abramovich didn’t escape the wrath of fans with the super league.
People seem to forget it was Chelsea fans who pushed that first domino that collapsed the whole idea.
Get these Americans out of our club
If people would actually bother to read the article and read the letter sent you’d know it wasn’t so much about results on the pitch but lack of communication from the club on a range of issues from stadium re-development to ticket pricing.

Do they know what club they bought?
