Something hasn’t seemed right with Stokes for a while. His demeanour was off before and after the Test and his batting has really dropped off. Breaking the curfew is another sign he just isn’t aligned with McCullum and Key anymore. Something has to give.

FAB are taking credit for the ticket price freeze. In the three meetings held between the club and the FAB this season, there’s no mention of the FAB calling for a price freeze. The FAB member claiming the credit wasn’t even there. chelseafc.com/en/the-fan-adv…

As far as I’m aware, the FAB has only ever made one public statement in 2024 backing the project and shouting down the CST (FAB is a shadow board for CST): bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/ceq…

However the price freeze was achieved, it’s a relief to many (it scrapes the bear minimum of what the club should have done imo). But we still need some perspective and context about the role of fan groups and why public scrutiny is important.

We’ve become so used to having the piss taken out of us as football fans we now celebrate simply not having the piss taken out of us, rather than actually being treated respectfully.
The club’s freezing of ticket prices may not have been expected, but it’s the equivalent of a restaurant giving you food poisoning, offering no refund or discount, and charging the same next time. Would you praise a restaurant for doing that?

We end the season with one away win against the top 14 teams. Warra project.

Who remembers when people said giving Potter a pre season would fix the issue at West Ham? In reality, letting him start the season has got them relegated.

When someone you suspected of being a little bit racist completely proves your point it’s always more sad than it is gratifying.

I’m a miserable bastard and I don’t care. Our rivals are celebrating a title that we could have stopped if we had spent wisely but we didn’t. So we beat Spurs to maybe get ECL. Who cares? We’re miles off them and I care. Shoot me.

This 👇 Tonnes of hypocrites on here.
So Steve is someone I’ve spoken to on a few occasions over recent months. He’s now blocked me because he didn’t appreciate being called out on his comments and what I personally believe is a lot of bullshit. Steve shouts loudly online about what others should or shouldn’t be doing, yet I never actually see him lift a finger himself. He claims to attend protests yet whenever I ask people no one seems to have ever actually seen him there. He claimed to have attended multiple Strasbourg protests yet when I literally marched alongside Strasbourg supporters and spoke to those involved, again nobody seemed to have seen him there 🤔 Where’s Steve 🤷‍♂️ Prior to Wembley he was screaming about banners needing to be taken into the ground. Apparently he was attending the match himself. Funny that because I never saw his banner either. I suppose the wider point I’m making is this: A lot of people have opinions. A lot of people love telling others how supporter action should be done, what message should be conveyed and what others should do. But when it actually comes to standing up, organising, taking criticism, taking abuse and physically doing something, many people suddenly disappear. Don’t be like Steve.

We came to this decision across the last couple of days. It feels like the right thing to do. The club can have their short term PR win. It’s not about point scoring and we as a group are going nowhere. I genuinely hope Alonso is given the tools to succeed. Watch this space.
🚨Protest Update 🚨 Following discussions held over the weekend and after gaining feedback from supporters, we have decided not to proceed with our in-stadium demonstration at tomorrow’s match against Tottenham. We wish to be very clear this is in no way a statement of intent to cease and desist with our efforts to restore the values and identity that made this club great. We are always trying to gauge the mood among supporters and demonstrate our frustrations when the time feels right, and on reflection, we wish to take a step back and review our position over the summer before taking further action. While we have huge reservations about how much 'self reflection' has happened at the club when not one sporting director seems to have been held accountable for the failings of the past four seasons, we understand that as supporters, there will always be a glimmer of hope following a promising managerial hire like Xabi Alonso. We feel supporters’ protest marches may have been influential in pushing the club to replace Liam Rosenior with someone more worthy of the role. However, we know Chelsea supporters are tired of this season and the loss of what a great feeling it should be following our club, and a demonstration at this point would not feel like the right timing. It’s not just the protest marches that have made a difference and we are not trying to claim victory there. Wider supporter scrutiny has also played its role, with greater focus on financials and increased media attention. It will take considerably more than one appropriate managerial hire for us to believe Blueco are suitable custodians of our club and huge question marks remain over their intentions and capability in a number of areas, including ticket prices, a potential new stadium, record financial losses, front-of-shirt sponsorship and respecting the club’s identity. We’ll be keeping a close eye on developments across the summer. We’ll also be looking at how best we approach next season as we look to formalise the NotAProjectCFC group. As a fanbase, we weren’t ready or prepared for an ownership group of this nature and with question marks over some of those who currently hold positions to represent the fans, we believe a group who can directly hold the club to account with total independence is required. As such, NotAProjectCFC will be in touch in due course to gauge supporter views on further action. For now, we wish everyone a happy and restful summer. UTC!

Been a bit quiet on here the last couple of days. Just enjoying some time with my wife and boys. It’s been pretty full on over the last few months so I’m buzzing to spend some extra time with the family over the summer. I’ve also been digesting some of the news that broke following the FA Cup Final. On face value I’m glad we’ve secured a manager who feels like the right calibre of appointment for a club like Chelsea. Xabi has won it all. He’s worked under elite managers and, fundamentally, understands what elite looks like and what it takes to get there. The key now is whether he’s genuinely given the autonomy to do the job properly. The micromanagement culture at this football club has to end. His voice should be the loudest football voice in the building. The sporting directors should be facilitating the managers requirements, not imposing their own. Thats also why I categorically still have no faith in the sporting directors. The decision to continue with Callum McFarlane only reinforces that feeling for me. His record has been poor and, personally, I think it sends the wrong message to the incoming manager and his staff. It still feels like the club want their own man on the ground. I also think it’s pretty fucking obvious that a combination of poor results, media scrutiny, player unrest and sustained supporter pressure has contributed to the shift in direction. It really wasn’t that long ago we were hearing briefs about no change to the model, planning around Rosenior and Champions League qualification not being essential. I’m also proud of what supporters have managed to build over the last few months in terms of scrutiny and pressure. We’re certainly not always going to please everyone but we’ve given it a go. We keep moving forward and we keep holding these people accountable. It will always remain BluecoOut for me. The damage has been done and the trust has been broken. chelseafc.com/en/news/articl…

We lost that final because we haven’t built the required squad depth with the experience across the team and in the dugout that City have got. Simple as that. Not even arsed about refs.
