The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 8th December 2023!
Morning all,
Good news is it’s the weekend again, bad news is Chelsea have to go to Everton on Sunday and attempt to try and get a result there now!
We got Luke Rushbrook on the preview for Everton today. To be honest, neither of us wanted to write or speak about Chelsea today, but needs must, and we do have another fixture now to focus on. Luke previews it all here.
I do have some long deep dives for you today though instead, and also, a new analyst added to the team here at SPTC!
Let’s welcome Seun (@SeunMobolaji) to the team here at SPTC. Many of you will be familiar with his work on X - his match review threads and analysis are superb. And now we will be bringing them to you guys first after every game.
You can check out his first one, along with images and precise detail, here.
We also had a contribution article from a community member on here called Lewis. Lewis is a Trainee Lawyer and has written a fully detailed article on the FFP allegations against Chelsea and what it actually all means. I strongly recommend taking the time to read this one, it helped me a lot get more of an understanding of exactly what we are facing. Check that out here.
Finally, two heartfelt articles from me now. These two are just really saying it how it is and saying how I feel.
The first one here is on why we should not even be thinking about sacking another manager right now, despite Mauricio Pochettino being far from perfect.
And detailing more on just why Pochettino has been far from perfect, as well as all the other issues that I see and what has caused them, check out my article here on the owners, the players, and the manager, and how collectively they have all contributed to the mess we are still seemingly in right now.
The live blog was very lively yesterday with a whole bunch of comments from you guys expressing what you are feeling about Chelsea right now and the current situation. It also has all the latest Chelsea news, more reactions from the game yesterday, and anything else from the last 24 hours in one place here.
We had Macca back on the Podcast yesterday, which did make us smile of course! We needed that! But Macca, myself, and Jai all went in deep on the United game and more on the issues we are facing right now, and also looked ahead to Everton. If you missed that, do check it out here.
Just realised we had SIX articles and a Podcast for you today! Mad content! Hope you enjoy :)
Right, I really need this little ‘break’ now after Wednesday. I’ll be back on the site on Sunday for the game of course. But if anything else pops off or if I get any info or key team news before the game, I’ll jump on the Substack App to report it on the chat section there as I have been doing recently. I’ll also setup the live discussion thread for the Everton game on there quite a bit before the game to get you all chatting!
Have a good weekend and remember, we’re Chelsea till we die!
Peace, Si.
Si The content is developing nicely and the content is diverse enough to in some respect educate the reader thank you.
