As a result of for me, that isn’t inconceivable to do in any respect.

After which I additionally see debates over what’s extra essential. I get that, however I need to hear an proprietor who can present me a plan that entails redeveloping the stadium while additionally preserving us aggressive. As a result of it ought to by no means be one or the opposite proper now. However not solely that, preserving our academy up their with the most effective on the planet, in addition to persevering with to put money into the Girls’s squad.
We can’t actually afford to go backwards and slip additional behind the likes of Liverpool and Manchester Metropolis. However you possibly can nonetheless run our squad self-sustainably and redevelop the stadium on the similar time, you simply need to be very clever with recruitment and participant gross sales. I totally imagine we will do each on the similar time and we should not have to sacrifice one for the opposite.
There’s no purpose in any respect why an proprietor can’t are available and preserve each guarantees, and there’s no purpose why Raine Group can’t ask to see proof for this and proof of the funding to put money into the squad AND that stadium on the similar time. That is Chelsea FC, one of many largest soccer golf equipment within the land, we deserve an formidable proprietor, and I imagine we will get one.
