Things are really not looking good for Chelsea right now, and the fact that Champions League football has all but slipped away and the issues with front of shirt sponsors, means that any big summer plans are in real jeopardy.

The current state of the club is also effecting the manager search, our first choice targets for summer recruitment, the amount of players we need to sell, and of course, the overall feeling around the club.

Obviously reality speaks truths. Chelsea are currently 9th in the Premier League and in a really bad place.

This summer, make no mistake, they need to SELL a lot of players. It’s not exactly sell to buy, but if they want to do anything close to the plans they have in place right now, then they are going to need to sell some players, and not just fringe players either.
