we're 4 years in to BlueCo and 66 points remains the peak of their achievements. A pathetic return for record investment. It's hard to see how it could possibly be any worse given the money spent.

I for one welcome our new Asian overlords

People will look at Maresca with rose tinted glasses now, mainly because of the CWC, but his league campaign was crap as well, finished 4th after a good late run in. Crashed out early of both cups. Walked the conference league but who wouldn't.

Simeone? Why would he leave athletico?

Who would you have?

Violent conduct he could still get done afterwards. Didn't see it though, so don't know if it was really that blatant

Fortress Stamford Bridge:

Utd 0-1
City 0-3
Newcastle 0-1
Burnley 1-1
Leeds 2-2
West Ham 3-2

In the West Ham game we were 0-2 down at HT.

The fact we're even contemplating Liam staying tells you what kind of club we are now.

City winning the FA cup would then make 8th the EL, which is about a good as we can hope for

You'd think so, but so far they seem to have more money than sense.

If someone offers us his book value, which must be ~£85m so seems unlikely, I'm sure he'll leave this summer.

Depends if they still listen to Winstewart saying we've got a great squad and it'll all come together soon. They are ill equipped to make up their own minds as they don't understand anything about the game.

A tangent, but after the City game did you see how Liam is so bad Pep didn't even bother saying how fantastic he is

Talk of change is cheap. Actions louder than words. I'm not sure what kind of transfer window we can have outside the CL. As a start Winstewart need to be fired out of a canon with someone who isn't a complete idiot coming in.

And he was available when we appointed Liam

Well he hasn't seen the pitch since he failed to defend a route one long ball against PSG so it's hard to tell

Much like everyone else the bring in, players and managers, he did play for a while, but quickly proved he's nowhere near good enough.

Mate, we haven't scored for 5 games against teams not in league one.

BlueCo think they know better. The manager isn't that important in results apparently. Which is why we end up with this League One level coaching staff.

At least it's failed so spectacularly now they will have to admit their stupidity.

The season ended with James and Trev's injuries. We're in the death throes now. Won't win again this season.

Please stop talking about the CL. It's been obvious for months we won't be qualifying. Midtable is the reality.

I maintain that the owners are completely clueless about football. They brought in the SDs as 'experts' and trust their approach. What they got is the most expensive and embarrassing emperor's new clothes example I can ever think of. Do they realise they're starkers yet??

The most expensive squad in football history no less. The money wasted is criminal.

No idea where they see us picking up 7 points

The BlueCo project reaching its logical conclusion. Rosenior is so far out of his depth it's almost cruel. Even the owners must be able to see that bringing him in on a 6.5 year deal was one of the biggest mistakes yet. Heads have to roll. The SDs cannot brush this off and carry on.

The project is the laughing stock of world football. When every player looks bad it's the manager to blame. Poor old Rosenior, promoted wildly above his station. An even more embarrassing failure than Potter. He might not see out 6 months of his 6.5 year deal.

Minto et al have been singing his praises in the second half

Sleep walking into 5 consecutive defeats without scoring (ignoring Port Vale).

Likely won't win again this season now.

BlueCo is the wider issue. Rosenior is the immediate problem, absolutely hopeless.

Minto, where's Jase?
