Sources: Are the sporting directors now finally under pressure? But do we as fans lay off them under this scenario? If Clearlake want profit, put football first, What level of ambition will satisfy?..
The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 21st February 2025!
Morning all,
I dropped another solo Podcast yesterday as Jai remains absent with personal issues. He assures me he will be back next week. I quite enjoy doing these solo though! In this one here I spoke about all the issues right now, the planned protests, the SDs’, Clearlake, and looked ahead to Saturday’s game against Aston Villa.
I also had a pretty big sourced article out yesterday with more details on the current climate at the club and whether the sporting directors are now actually under pressure. You can get all of that inside info in here.
Rolling on from that one, I have an opinion article on the sporting directors. A community member asked whether under a certain scenario, would we all lay off them? As I keep saying, this squad isn’t a million miles off being complete but needs a number of solid additions in the right areas to do so. It can happen, it’s actually not that difficult. I’ve also got some polls in here to see where you all stand, who gets the most blame, and whether you see Clearlake or the SDs as our biggest problem right now and whether you can or will change your stance on them.
Before we round up, check out all your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. Covers everything.
It is only fitting that we round up the newsletters for the week with two articles from our man The Score, who has been on absolute fire for us now for the last few weeks, coming up with some incredible and passionate content. Score is literally representing what it means to be a big Chelsea fan these days. This is how you react.
His first one here is on if Clearlake wants profit, then they need to put the football first.
And the next one is wondering what level of ambition will satisfy Clearlake and the fans together. Another fantastic read here.
I’ll have the live match discussion thread going on the Substack App chat section as always on Saturday, so do join us there! Otherwise, I’ll be back with my match review and the latest set of articles on Sunday!
Have a top weekend all!
Peace, Si.
