luckyeddie Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 My guess would be, not long enough to turn it around. And I hope this happens to their next dozen managers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 What other club would decide to make Connor Gallagher, a player they tried to shift out the club as recently as deadline day, captain ahead of Thiago Silva?! In what world does this happen!? Ah Chelsea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy54 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Just seen the highlights and to be fair their keeper made some good saves, especially the one from JJ near the end, wonderful shot, and a good save.....a good "football" moment.......would have been even better if it had gone in !

Yeah Sanchez probably had his best game ever, it’s crazy he is their number 1 keeper, he has a lot of clangers in him, he is probably at the level of Kiraly in terms of top level keeper ability. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I am actually loving what is happening to them at the minute and long may it continue. I hope they stick with Poch until February before sacking him - whilst also being in a league position that no-one in their right mind would go near. Am I being too ambitious in hoping for relegation for them too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2023 It looks like their £40m a season shirt idea with Infinite Athlete is going through. That's a lot of money for a company that doesn't seem to have a huge turnover. I did wonder where the money was coming from, but it looks like they're supported by a number of funds and capital management groups, including Silverlake, who own 18% of Manchester City.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2023 In fact, here's an interesting article on why it's so strange that a company that turns over £12m a year might suddenly decide to invest £40m a year in sponsorship of a football team. https://www.thesponsor.com/why-chelseas-new-sponsorship-deal-raises-fair-market-value-concerns-for-the-premier-league/#:~:text=Infinite Athlete has an estimated,sponsorship they have reportedly offered. Quote The timing and particulars of this sponsorship agreement warrant meticulous scrutiny. Chelsea's pursuit of a new front-of-shirt sponsor hit an impasse until the emergence of Infinite Athlete – a company closely aligned with the club's ownership – offering a deal that nearly doubles the £25m valuation set by Chelsea for this season's shirt sponsorship. Such a substantial leap naturally invites scrutiny, particularly concerning the FMV guidelines in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 How’s he managed that when he wasn’t even playing?! It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s a bit of a petulant/nasty piece of work as that’s the second example in his career of getting a red card for effectively an off field incident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
