Nailed on excatly how i feel ive backed Poch i am one of those postive fans ive seen us regulated and ive seen us lift the champions league and and still believe he can take us on further but he needs some support, if you look at Leverkersen this season they are young but brougnt in experience - also i completely agree re connection and commuication there is none Poch needs to make of a effort with the fans and the club need to start commuicating its not cheap having season tickets and away games cost, but we are there now they the owners need to be there for us and tell us the plan
I am travelling currently and did not get the chance to read your article until today (Wednesday) and even after the debacle of last night I concur with your views. Thank you The Score. It’s what I’ve been saying for most of the season, summer times resulting in criticism from other Supporters both here and elsewhere. Let’s be honest and investment organisation that basically now owns up club is not going to let it go to ruin, they have too much money invested and they are finance people at heart but that does not mean they do not understand or want to see the value of a great football club like the one we have . Secondly we must not forget that the deterioration of our club started 2 to 3 years before the takeover.
I love Roman and everything he has done for us, at 60 I do not believe I ever thought I would see us win the Premier League (more than once) or even reach the Champions League not alone win it twice I have been at both ends of the spectrum. I was there the day we needed to win to stay out of the old third division and I was fortunate enough to attend all three Champions League finals as well as being Bolton for the first Premier League victory and to enjoy subsequent wins in various competitions.
Perhaps because some of us have been through the thick and thin we are a little bit more patient. All I would say is that I urge some of our younger supporters who have not seen anything other than success to give our new ownership time, let them choose the right leadership whether it be sporting directors, first team manager/coach, or even who we buy and let’s review whether or not it was a success after a decent period of time (I am talking about 4 to 5 years from the outset).
Having said all of that, I fully understand and accept/acknowledge everyone has a view and that we all are different. That’s the beauty of the game we all love. I am not being critical of you. It’s just I’m giving what is perhaps a broader/more experienced viewpoint.
That just about sums it up as I have never so felt so disconnected from the club and I went to my first game with my dad in 1968. Firstly I am not a customer (customers choose) because if I was I would support Man City. I was born a Chelsea fan and I will die one. The communication from the club is awful and is treating the fans with a lack of respect and most of us are not stupid. I really don't think the ownership understands the club, football and the culture of it here. Its an analogy that America shoots first and ask the questions after and that's exactly what they have done at Chelsea. They cleared the club out and put their own people in without understanding what was needed. I am not convinced their intentions are good because of what they have done so far. They are putting up the prices of everything and supplying an inferior product and in the long run that is untenable. It's not how much you spend it's what you spend it on. The recruitment in all areas of the club so far has been incompetent at best. I'm sorry I can't be more positive.
