The Official Chelsea Thread [Vol 3]

[bad company]

I can’t believe the number of lifelong Man U, Citee, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool fans all threatening to disown their clubs.

As a West Ham supporter I don’t have that decision to make.

Hope you all have the bottle to go through with it.

And if West Ham sign up to it next week?

It's a crap move and I'm hugely disappointed that the club is associated with it.

I have Sky Sports to watch Chels in the Prem and League Cup and BT Sports to watch them in the ECL and FA Cup. I won’t be paying to watch them in this new effort and it sounds like they will either be kicked out of or not want to participate in the existing competitions, so I’m going to be saving a fortune.

[jammy-git]

I believe neither Sky nor BT have the rights to the ESL anyway.

I think it’s a fair assumption that some sort of subscription / PPV scheme will be available for fans though. Whether that will be run by Sky, BT or the league itself, who knows, but I for one won’t be paying for it.

At a guess, Amazons league coverage was a test run

I’m hearing DAZN will be the broadcaster.

Saturday evening I was really looking forward to the FA Cup final and CL semi against Real Madrid. Haven't seen us play them since I was a kid when we won the Super Cup, a special tie with the return of Eden to boot.

Now it feels completely hollow and I couldn't give a toss. What's the point if the club doesn't even care about the competition?

Tuchel and the players have done an excellent job getting us to this point. What desire will there be for them now?

It feels hollow without fans though.

This super league stuff is teams pushing there luck to see if it flies...that don't look likely to me now.

BREAKING
Chelsea out?!
Whoa everyone. Huge news. I mean, really huge news.

BBC Sport understands that Chelsea are preparing documentation to request withdrawing from the European Super League.

[smn159]

Good - should never have signed up in the first place

[jammy-git]

I honestly think every club involved (including my own), should be relegated and banned from the Champions League for at least one season, regardless of whether they withdraw now or not.

[TEKNOPUG]

Splitters!

Fair play to Chelsea

Hope the others follow now..

I heard that the agreement was made last week and with the contract you could not withdraw and hearing news of Chelsea today wanting to withdraw. Lawyers must be loving it

We don’t know what the contract for the Super league is. I reckon we all know that the lawyers will be about to make a fortune out of it though.

If this Chelsea withdrawal goes ahead, this will create a domino effect with other teams leaving as well

Already rumours of City and possibly Atletico Madrid pulling out as well....

Can we start campaigning for Real and City to stay in so we can get to the CL final?
