Chelsea, won't pay Napoli for Sarri's release!
Club is an absolute joke. absolutely embarrassing considering what every other club is doing. We are really showing Sarri how much we want him right now! He sort of didn't extend his contract with Napoli as he wanted to see if the grass was greener and in us it was.
But this is going on too long, we need to get to the summer business and this delay ain't helping I'm sure new recruits would like to know who our manager is before they commit to us. Over a 7m release clause we are really affecting our summer plans, very smart move.
Apparently Chelsea are willing to wait and see what Sarri's lawyers do to get him out of the Napoli contract. Sooner rather later Sarri will move on, may get another job offer and we would look like absolute fools as we have practically wasted so much time chasing him, agreeing terms etc.
Very concerned with how things are going at the club, something ain't right for sure. This ain't us stomping over 7m. It's a joke.

Shak, Ed outlined on the Banter page how messy the subject of Sarri could become.
I don’t want the bloke as our manager but I don’t want his employment to turn into a legal circus, with lawyers being the only winners!

So with Sarri out of frame the names are Blanc And Avram grant according to tomorrow’s papers, the board have sat on there hands knowing conte will be leaving or at least want him out and haven’t appeared to make any arrangements, again while others are looking at targets we are starting our managerial search, average squad will now get average manager, at this rate I want conte to stay. Clubs in absolute turmoil.

MM: Now they have "Zidane lined up for Chelsea" added to the Blanc, Sarri, Conte staying and Avram Grant lined up as a stop gap charade. From Mourinho's last year we seem to have gone off the rails when we used to keep it simple. The list of players 'lined' up is getting longer and longer which means we would have an extensive 'leave' list coming plus it must be destabilising for the current players. On the other side Abramovich says he is totally committed followed elsewhere by he wants £1.2bn for the club. There is no doubt it is destabilising the supporters!

Sorry TomB, it's just frustration mate.

No need to be sorry and I do understand your frustration. That’s how fans are supposed to be.
We all want to be players first then we know better than the manager and ever owner has lost the plot.
Can’t wait for the new season!

Trouble is if we pay Sarri's release clause 7 million then add contes 9million. 16 million for nothing. Its ok for everyone to moan. But if that was coming out of your bank account you wouldn't be happy. In fact if the papers reported CFC had just handed over 16 million to someone and got nothing in return you would all be going mad.
Dont get me wrong its not great i want a new manager in and players signed before world cup. But that doesn't look like its going to happen.

I don't really know why CFC is so dull this season in terms of transfer issues. many teams are ahead of us what's the reall issue guys?
