Club needs a complete fresh start IMHO and that probably means moving on those who have served the club very well over the last 4 years.

Getting ready for the imminent Super League breakaway and the collapse of the EPL i wouldn't wonder!

4-3 Thriller....followed by a 0-0 bore draw between Liverpool and Citeh with not a single shot on target!

It isn't any wonder they we cannot compete when the top clubs are doing so many underhand things. Man City: Der Spiegel alleges three-year Premier League investigation - BBC Sport

..until the fat lady sings, its not all over.

is 2 Onel?

Yes I was there. Still remember the journey home and the disbelief in my mind that we had won a trophy at Wembley and I was there.

Frankly who cares. Why don't they go and play it in the USA as thats what the top PL clubs owners seem to want.

Ive noticed a fair few games recently in the EPL with empy seats in the stands. Villa on Satuirday v Aresenal, there were quite a lot of seast with no bums on them. You would think Stevie G, Coutinho etc would gaurantee a full house but it seems not. Its not only Villa tho, Southampton and Brighton have had similar and even worse some Champs teams, noticeably WBA, have had huge numbers of empty seast in recent matches.

Started on the bench yesterday. All sounds very familiar.

Football is a team game. One man alone will not win trophies.

Would make the perfect foil for Teemu. Big, strong, holds the ball up well and not fazed by putting himself about with the best defenders.

Shows that English football has a problem. The top three in the Epl make up three of the 4 semi finalists.

Trouble is where do you look for a wealthy owner now? Russians are banned, Chinese have withdrawn their support, there is really only the USA left and they are only interested in making a profit.

I am getting to the point where Sky Sports might be junked. Especially now I know how much my energy bills are going up.

Now if only the EPL had done proper due diligence on where and how Abramovich got his money from??!!!?!

Chelsea wage bill circa £14 million per month.

Three also reviewing their Chelsea shirt sponsorship contract. Quite hilarious that a club that has lived off ill gotten gains for years and won every conceivable trophy as a result, suddenly find they have no money of their own anymore. Hopefully they get relegated.

It is but the Government has said they will allow the club to pay wages, pay for match day facilities etc.

But he cannot sell whether at a profit or loss. He is no allowed to make financial transactions.

It cannot be sold whilst he is sanctioned.

I'm pretty sure Abramovich would have made sure their was cash in the bank for the short term.

Best part is they cannot buy or sell players.

Does this mean their players are not allowed to move on the pitch too? maybe we can avenge the 7-0 after all.

To be fair to Emi, in some Villa games he has looked like a £33 million player, not sure Grealish has looked much like a £33 million player this season, let alone a £100 million player.
