A journalist who absolutely hates our owners -- Oliver Holt -- has some nice things to say in todays Daily Mail.

 

------------

 

"Chelsea now sit 14th in the Premier League. They have garnered five points from their opening six games and Pochettino is already asking to be given more time and telling his players they have to ‘grow up’. There is an awful lot of talent in the squad but precious little leadership. The side does not look like a team. It looks more like a random collection of products purchased at a supermarket trolley dash. A very expensive supermarket, obviously.

 

There are other ways of doing this if you have competent people at the helm. Loathe though I am to give the Saudi Arabian regime at Newcastle United any credit, they have done a superb job in turning the side from a struggling foot-of-the-table team into a Champions League outfit. They recruited a good manager and they recruited good players and they recruited good recruiters. They had method. They chose wisely. They bought players who would take them to the next level. They are moving up step by step. The result is a team that has captured the imagination of the support-base, a team with a solid identity, a team that has spirit and hunger and togetherness, a team that is a fine blend of characters and nationalities. On the pitch, Newcastle is everything Chelsea is not. They have been an example of how to spend money wisely, not throw it into the flames.

 

It is the opposite at Chelsea. How can it be, for instance, that a regime that has spent more than £1bn on players has been left with a centre forward who has got five times more yellow cards than goals?

In fact, Nicolas Jackson has earned as many yellow cards as the entire team has scored goals in the league. If it wasn’t so dispiriting for Chelsea fans, it would be funny."

Wish Holt would give some love to Amanda, Mehrdad and Jamie too. Seems far too convenient to just say Saudi when those 3 drove those key decisions early on.

He’s seen the future and just wants to make sure he’s on the right side of history. The future’s bright. The future’s black and white :indi:
