  1. Liverpool are closing in on Alisson. So surprised that our board is dragging their feet.
  2. I tend to see that as really bad news for us.
  3. Chelsea 2018-2019...... Why So Sarrious? Sarri, not sorry Fuck the board Just throwing things out for fun. I’m partial to the last one, personally.
  4. Conte does not get a pass for mailing it in, but I still place the blame at the feet of the board. They got out worked and out spent when it should have been obvious that we needed significant additions to address talent and depth gaps. I’ll start a new thread when we’ve got some alignment on the title.
  5. Hard to see either Hazard or Courtois extending their current deals. I’m assuming that we will end up selling both in the next year just so we get something of value out of them.
  6. At this point I'm just hoping we avoid relegation for the 2019/2020 season. Total dumpster fire status.
  7. I know I’m seen as the resident Debby downer, but what in the literal fuck are the board doing: https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2018/7/7/17543900/conte-also-returns-as-chelsea-managerial-mess-reaches-new-heights Every single one of them should be sacked. They have ruined this club.
  8. Lukaku to DeBruyne for a beautiful counter attack goal. Fucking Mourinho.
  9. That you can’t make sense of my post is neither surprising nor my problem. I detest everything about how you handle yourself on this forum and you basically ruin any thread you decide to participate in. I owe you exactly jack shit and am not about to burn someone (not named Chris Ogden) that shared his perspective on the program just to placate you. Keep on believing what you want to believe, because there is nothing anyone on this board can do to convince you otherwise.
  10. Nobody on this board wouldn’t know the name of this guy and he’s still involved in the sport in a way that would position him to know a metric fuck ton more than you would ever hope to. But hey, you keep doing you and ruining any attempt to have a productive conversation about the program on this board. It’s your world and we’re just living in it, right?
  11. By AD, I meant athletics department. I should have clarified. My guess is that Perrin was delegating a lot and it was someone else meddling. I see that as a very possible (if not likely) scenario. Not that it excuses anything, as Shaka needs to learn that he’s ultimately accountable for the on court product. This is where his youth works against him, as a more experienced coach would be comfortable pushing back.
  12. Convo was in early May. Likely it was more of an issue with the previous administration.
  13. There is no room for balanced or rational positions if you’re talking UT hoops with Derka. You’re only allowed to think that Shaka sucks or, if not, you must think he’s the 2nd coming of John Wooden. FWIW, I talked to a former Barnes player about Shaka not that long ago. He seemed to think Shaka was in trouble and he blamed Shaka not being strong enough politically as the reason. Essentially he said that Shaka has been getting a lot of pressure to recruit guys with high rankings by the powers that be vs. recruiting guys that fit his Havoc system. He made it sound like Shaka has to deal with a lot of oversight and that Shaka needed to step up and take a stronger position on bringing in the kids that he wants to run his vision. It was an interesting conversation and painted a picture that perhaps our AD office was meddling to the detriment of the team.
  14. The wife and kids are out of town, and our Chuy is nothing short of despondent about it. That, or he’s hella bored.
  15. The number of players that flamed out at Chelsea but are playing well at the WC is.....staggering. I get that international ball is a different beast, but it’s still impossible for me to ignore. This club has squandered so much talent that it’s really disheartening to watch.
  16. Hazard just linked up with Lukaku for a lovely goal for Belgium, and I kind of want to throw up in my mouth that we had that combo and let it go.
  17. Okay. I suppose that’s good at this point, but really hard to say for sure. Not sure if it even matters though. He’ll be gone in 3 years or less anyway.
  18. So Conte would get to leave Chelsea for Real Madrid? Just a slight upgrade for him.
  19. Meh. The board will continue to fuck around and I will continue to not be surprised by it. I’m just happy as fuck that they aren’t running the company I work for.
  20. I won't lose any sleep if Morata heads elsewhere. I wasn't a big fan of that signing to begin with and would prefer we move on.
  21. This club is horribly mid-managed.
  22. Conte is a quality manager and we’d be smart to give him time and the financial backing to build his vision. Odds are good that we will do neither, but I’d love to be proven wrong.
  23. If he wants to go, then he goes. And frankly, with our board it would be hard to blame him.
