They lack quality in the final third; their conversion rate is atrocious. Imagine what he could do with Bale, Kane, Son and Alli... (although two of those could be gone next season.)

One of the Interesting stats I noticed in a recent review of those ESL clubs, Chelsea was the only one of the twelve in the black. Also steps have been made to balance the books, hence the £130m for Hazard was used to buy most of the players bought last year, plus the emergence of Mount, James, Hudson Odoi, Gilmour, Christiansen, Abraham and Gallagher all coming through the youth team. It's not perfect but its is neither owned by a country or American franchisee and being milked. Then again, Mike Ashby has been doing that quite successfully at Newcastle and don't get me started on Gold/Sulivan at the spanners or Lewis/ Levy at the Spuds. Is there any modern template of a decent owner? Compared to the rest, Abramovich is a knight in shining armour. Mind you, that is setting a low bar. The guy who bought Leicester, and died tragically, seems to have been a decent owner. Are his heirs/successors continuing in the same vein? There may be some lessons to be taken from the Yanqui sports business/franchise model, but to import it wholesale would be unwise, and unacceptable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ownership of football on the whole is seen as either a status symbol, a way to refinance debt or an opportunity to graft some cash, legally or not - there are exceptions but as Bury FC and Portsmouth before them to name just two of the many would testify, the size of the club is nothing compared to some of the owners egos, greed or incompetence... or all three. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, you seem to have won a watch with Herr Tuchel.. He came at the end of January and has done very well, with players who are not "his". It will be interesting to see what he does over the summer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he has done remarkably well with some of the players who downed tools for Lampard and like SG at Gers his own tactical nouce has mad Chelsea harder to beat, which is always a good starting point. If he can emulate DiMatteo and win the FA Cup and CL he will become a legend at the Bridge. Hopefully the powers that be will give him more time than Roberto. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

United 3-1 Leicester So’ton 1-1 Palace Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal Villa 1-1 Everton United 2-0 Scousers I’ll leave the cup final ‘til later.
