To believe the @ChelseaFC ownership have actually learned from their failures and changed direction, the majority of these things need to happen by the end of the window. This list is in no particular order. 1. Sack at least 2 sporting directors (this is non-negotiable). 2. Owners must release a statement directly through Chelsea FC admitting they let fans down and made mistakes, plan moving forward. External interviews do not count.(this is non-negotiable) 3. Secure a front of shirt sponsor (this is non-negotiable). 4. Get a competent, winning manager that deserves to be here and fans can get behind (✅ done). 5. No ex-Brighton signings this window. Unless it's a needle mover. 6. No ex-City signings this window. Unless it's a needle mover. 7. Sell or freeze out 80% of this list: Datro Fofana, George, Kellyman, Disasi, Garnacho, Guiu, Gittens, Delap, Neto, Lavia, Fofana, Gusto, Chalobah, Badiashile, Tosin, Slonina, Jorgensen, Sanchez. 8. Reduce our reliance on injury-prone players. 9. Sign an established, proven goalkeeper and let Penders learn from him. 10. Bring in an established, proven CB that's a leader (this is non-negotiable). 11. Let no more than 1 of our big players leave unless we are replacing them with better. 12. Sign real experience and proven winners, not just players who are old or have played loads of games. 13. Make at least one statement signing. 14. Sort out the rest of the defence and get Chelsea back to being hard to beat. 15. Back Alonso. If he says he is looking for X position, I don't want him to backtrack because the club let him down (this is non-negotiable). 16. Two or three "now" signings (this is non-negotiable). I've probably missed some key ones. I'm going to be nice and say 70% of that should be done. Many might see this as unrealistic but it's not our problem to fix, they've had 4 years and got us into this mess, it's their mess to fix.

No statement @ChelseaFC , cool 👍
Chelsea need to do what other clubs do and come out with statement(s) when we are on the end of bad referring decisions. Put pressure on PGMOL like other clubs do.

This game is 0-0 in my eyes anyway, very poor result but literally should be a draw.

This is exactly why I didn't get gassed by the United result and individual performances.

Don't give this but give a 50/50 shirt pull the other way? PGMOL classic.
How is this foul on Palmer not a penalty? I am sure PGMOL would have awarded it if he was playing for Arsenal. #SUNCHE

They're both (Fofana and Colwill) getting ragdolled, but of course the ref will give that and not give the one that's more of a pen than that. Absolute disgrace.

You can't tell me the same VAR and officials think that is more of a pen than Palmer getting crashed into from behind.

Palmer is going to get a stupid yellow because the other team has fouled him three obvious times and the ref hasn't given anything.

What hope do you have if that's not given as a foul? Might as well pack up the season.

How the ref didn't give that a foul in realtime is an absolute joke. And they say no foul 😂😂😂

Rotos de dolor, con un nudo en la garganta y sin poder creer que esto sea verdad, desde el CD Tenerife comunicamos el trágico fallecimiento, este martes, día 3 de noviembre de 2026, a las 8:00 horas, de Jesús de Miguel Alameda. No hay palabras de consuelo; no hay absolutamente nada que mitigue este sentimiento repleto de tristeza. Estamos junto a su desolada familia, junto a sus seres queridos, junto a todo el tinerfeñismo que hoy llora por este cruel desenlace. La familia de Jesús de Miguel agradece todas y cada una de las muestras de apoyo recibidas, e igualmente solicita, de corazón, máximo respeto a su privacidad, en estos terribles momentos. 🖤 DEP
