Is Chelsea’s bubble about to burst?

[Caramac]

What did Alonso do? Must have missed that one.

How the fuck did he avoid prison time for that??

[Hades]

that's the risk you take when someone with more than 3 brain cells is allowed on the site.

How about you use those 4 braincells to contribute to the forum and educate us, rather than whinging about the lack of intelligence on display.

[Boss]

Chelsea Football Club trying to take the moral high ground is like Danielle Lloyd calling some regular girl a slag.

A succinct full on run and kick in the nuts delivered with casual aplomb.

How good is this though. They have a manager who hates his job but won't resign because he wants a pay off. The owner refuses to pay him off so it's a game of who blinks first. No decent manager would want to go there the way the club is, plus the manager gets players bought for him he doesn't even want.

 

Their owner can't get in the country and they've fucked off the stadium. If he can't get back in the country he might sell but will want his money back. There won't be many takers at the price he wants. Their best players will get fed up of the uncertainty and want to leave. The longer this goes on they will be completely unprepared for the season coming up.

He’s allowed in the country via his newly acquired Israeli passport for six months at a time, he can’t work in the UK though.

[dockers_strike]

He is allowed in on his Israeli visa effectively as a tourist unless the Home Office blocks him. Cannot see them doing that as it really would be an escalation of the situation but it is open to them if they want to prevent him exploiting the get around. But technically he cannot do any work while on this visa although how you police that once he is back I have no idea.

[Chip Butty]

I read this morning that visa have been having problems, so maybe that why there is a delay.

It’s almost the perfect imagined scenario for supporters of other clubs. I’m really hoping this degenerates further into british football’s most spectacular clusterfuck. Perhaps Ken Bates will offer a quid and get racism right back at the top of the priority list once more.

It’s fucking great isn’t it.

Plans revealed for cost-saving retro 248,000 all standing stadium at the Bridge, 

 

 

 

[SammyAftershave]

Hopefully he'll build the 'new' Bridge in Tel Aviv and take the lot (no pun intended) with him.

[Jairzinho]

West Stand to be renamed West Bank.

[cloggypop]

It's good news for Maccabi Tel Aviv

It's ace. Maybe Chelsea will finally return for good to the middle of the table where they belong.

 

And now if Spurs melt down with Pochettino leaving as well this summer (followed out the door by a few of their best players, no doubt) we won't have anything to fear in terms of top 4 next season. We can roll up our sleeves and take a run at City because we're going to be the only ones with any hope of catching them.

I'm worried about Everton to be honest, Silva and Moshiri's millions will have us all in fear.

[Caramac]

I remember jokingly posting in that Buvac thread when it first kicked off that maybe he'd had a call from the home office.

Seem to remember when he first arrived he came in several days later than Klopp and Krawietz due to some issue gaining entry. I know the club have stated otherwise but it does make you wonder.

[TheBitch]

Talkshite reporting Jim Ratcliffe is keen. The twat.

 

Ratcliffe is the billionaire boss of multinational petrochemicals giant Ineos

The Manchester United fan has an estimated personal value of £20.05billion

He has a Stamford Bridge season ticket as it is closer to his Chelsea home

[Captain Turdseye]

Isn’t he your boss?

[TheBitch]

Isn’t he your boss?

Yes.

 

21 billion.

[General Dryness]

There's no more billionaires out there wanting to buy football clubs though.

 

Apparently.

[TheBitch]

Sir Jim, I believe.

[General Dryness]

Sir Jim, I believe.

Is that what you say when he says "Whoever believes in me can have a pay rise"?

[Captain Turdseye]

Yes.

 

21 billion.

20.05 billion. There’s no need to over estimate his worth.

 

I’ve heard he’s friends with Moshiri and is ready to step in as Everton’s imaginary puppet master, should Usmanov have any visa issues.
