Sources: Chelsea planning midfield revamp - 3 new arrivals? Time to protest - even Matt Law is angry, Fear not, 'tweaking' the model is incoming, Damning look at Chelsea's finances, Behdad speaks.....
The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 17th April 2026!
Morning all,
Tomorrow, it’s time. It’s time to do all we can. Time to get our voices heard. Turn up in numbers to make this have any effect at all. Chelsea FC fans protest alongside Strasbourg fans against BlueCo, ahead of the Manchester United game tomorrow. Get there if you can. If not, get online and post your support. Its all we have.
Round up all your general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. I logged off here before all those quotes came out from Behdad Eghbali over night - but I recommend going to CFCDaily and scrolling down his feed for a breakdown of what was said. At least he admitted to mistakes and confirms they are tweaking the model, at the very least, but I still have zero faith they will do what is needed.
I had a sourced article out yesterday on Chelsea’s midfield revamp plans for the summer. Could see as many as three out and three in, but that depends on circumstances. Full story and the names we are looking at in here.
Now I don’t pretend to know what I’m talking about when it comes to finances in football, but thankfully others do know what they’re talking about. And I’ve got some stuff here on Chelsea’s finances that doesn’t read well at all.
Chelsea are tweaking the model this summer, so fear not my people, all will be well again! Haha. Also, Liam Rosenior is getting more of a say in our recruitment plans this summer than Enzo Maresca ever did apparently. Read all about that here.
Hey, even Matt Law, an Aston Villa fan, is annoyed by what is happening at our beloved club right now! That’s how bad it’s gotten. His latest words are very damning here.
Anyways, up the Chels and you know what? I think we beat United tomorrow. Don’t ask me why, or where this delusion has come from. But it would be very current Chelsea to go smash them 3-0 tomorrow right? Yes, I’ll wake up from this dream now. See you all on the Substack App for the Live Discussion tomorrow, then I’ll be back on the site on Sunday morning with my match review.
Have a great weekend all!
Peace, Si.
If Behdad’s nose grew every time he lied it would go all back to the USA.
I've seen Behdad's quotes and I'm alarmed by how many people are falling for it on X.
It's kind of hilarious at this point.
I believe that they are feeling the pressure because now everyone can see the project is failing and we are many years in now. So they need to come out and say they're going to try something different.
Anyway, this summer will be very interesting, absolutely no places to hide - they must deliver on top quality PL players, no squad fillers but starting quality.
