Amusing to see Boehly join in with fans on some Twitter space thing was there ages too, all of them telling him to get Enzo Fernandez
Boehly is going to ruin Chelsea (hopefully)

Agree with most of what you are saying here except the fact that the lower level clubs need those insane sums. Those clubs all existed and did perfectly fine prior to football going to hell with absurd fees..
I don't see how potter will be in charge come next season if he doesn't improve on results/performances this season, there was some believe that boehly would show patience long term with potter but Chelsea have put themselves in situation with their spending where they can't afford another poor season next year and with the outlay on transfers this season it will be far cheaper to replace the manager than to do another revolving door of transfers in and out of the club next season.
Have to agree you with you on the longevity, or not as the case may be. Did they give Potter a daft contract too?
hate this boehly cnut - leave Enzo alone
Inject it 
What's the £ per point cost so far?
He has made such a mess of them. Mad that some Chelsea supporters still seem to think he will be great for them.
ThanksDone the maths for you.
£17.5m per point roughly.
This season is almost certainly a write off for them, and it will be Europa at the very best, but if they have a bad season next year then I’d be very concerned as a Chelsea fan with all that long-term investment.
Completely unnecessary spend. Why not spread it out over two seasons? Give somebody a chance of doing something
It'll be even funnier if he sacks Potter soon. He'll look like an absolute doorknob, if he hasn't already
careful I said he was mental and unhinged way back and was shot down by the Chelsea fans on here Saying how wrong I was and how brilliant he is.
The fact is he is as big of a problem as potter yet because he’s throwing hundreds of millions around they don’t care.
Well if you were saying it in the January window you most certainly are wrong because every single reliable source were reporting it was Eghbali and the new team driving it.
You may aswell have added Kepa's name while you were at it.
I may be reading too much into this, but it looked pretty symbolic to me, when he had his smart phone out in Dortmund, filming like he was a tourist.
is it not concerning that an Boehly/egbhali or whoever is pulling the strings were going above the manager and just going out spending a fortune on players that potter likely didn’t even want.
I mean feel free to provide evidence to correct me if I've missed it but I very highly doubt he was against signing one of the most highly sought after young wingers and CMs in the world, and he clearly wasn't against Badiashille hence his instant inclusion in the side despite all our CB options.
Did he handpick them himself? Probably not but managers having total control on signings is a very rare thing these days, not even Klopp has such luxury.
I was told they had a shadow team last summer that was advising the owner on signings that weren’t hired just yet but were about to be.
Because the owner is so smart due to X Y and Z he did in American sport.
They make it up as they go along
yes they were that highly sought after that nobody else was in for them. Well I’ll concede arsenal were after Enzo but even they walked away when it got a little too stupid.
As much as Boehly is a complete idiot - Potter deserves a lot of criticism.
How could Boehly convinced every player to join Chelsea because of "project" yet he sacked Tuchel and hired Potter? Bizarre decision
How many goal has Chelsea scored since then?

Who is one of the most highly sought after wingers in the world that you signed?
They fear/expect the rules regarding maximum contract length to change and therefore had to do their shenanigans in one window.
But UEFA only changed it last minute after about half a billion spend from Chelsea themselves? It wasn’t an issue until they fecked it?
While Potter is clearly out of his depth, Boehly is the one who gave him a 5 year, 60M contract and refuses to fire him when he gets beaten at home by managerless Southhampton at Stamford Bridge to make it 2 wins in 15.
ETH is on less than that here. Rashford's base salary is less than that.
Boehly has only bad options with Potter at this point. Keeping him looks untenable. But firing him is really expensive and then you’re forced to hire long term out of a bad pool of replacements. Luis Enrique and Hansi Flick are good managers but neither has ever really built a team or succeeded with a club side that wasn’t ready made among the best in the world. Luis Enrique also hasn’t managed at club level for six years. Poch has built a team but he just isn’t that good.
Basically, there’s a very good chance of paying through the nose to sack Potter, just to give a new long term megabucks deal to a manager that doesn’t fit the project or isnt good enough.

he’s a way bigger problem than Potter man
they are stuck with this guy for maybe a decade or more
Tuchel without any new signings could have done better than this. When they sack Potter there's no guarantee the new manager actually likes/fits the new signings as well.
Potter is a very good manager so he is obviously not the problem but it looks like he will be sacked and another club will benefit from that...probably Spurs once Conte has worn out his welcome.
Was Enzo one of the most highly sought after CM in the world before the world cup? Are these 7 games really THAT important? Just asking for my friends, WC stars Yerry Mina, James Rodriguez or Diego Laxalt.
Have Chelsea gone two seasons in a row outside top 4 since Roman came in? As it could be a big possibility next season with United and Arsenals improvement.
Well he was linked with United and Liverpool while he was still at River and the hype was building long before the world cup started due to performances in the league and UCL.
The idea that no one heard about him before the world cup is utter nonsense.
Chelsea are a bug that just won’t die.
In a rational world, they should have done a Leeds and gotten bankrupt and fallen down the ladder.
In came the first major sugar daddy owner and instead of going bankrupt, they become a force in world football.

I already wrote once that they will miss Roman and was laughed off.
He was ruthless cnut.

Who’d’ve thought a scattergun approach to transfers and signing them up to 8+ year contracts without the explicit approval of the manager wouldn’t work?
Have you actually got any evidence of that?
Have you seen your results?
Just say no, would have saved you the time.
