Chelsea fans will love new owners’ plan for signings
While the senior Chelsea team let the side down on Saturday, Blues Under-23s and Women’s outfits did themselves proud on Sunday. The U-23s were threatened with relegation but, happily for the club, managed to stave off the drop. At present, the ‘reserves’ are in Premier League 2 Division one, and will stay there in 2022/23. They defeated Tottenham Hotspur at Cobham training ground thanks to goals from Dion Rankine and Lewis Hall. Meanwhile, the Kingsmeadow outfit clinched a third consecutive Super League title. A brace from Sam Kerr helped them beat Manchester United 4-2.
Over at Stamford Bridge, the Pensioners allowed Wolverhampton Wanderers to come back from 2-0 behind, after dominating much of the encounter. Romelu Lukaku also bagged a couple, like Kerr. A penalty was dispatched confidently to begin with. Subsequently another transpired from open play, taken well, only two minutes later. Sadly for the home side, commanding Wolves centreback Conor Coady scored as the revival began. Then Francisco Trincao completed the comeback with 97 gone on the stopwatch. If you’ll believe that! 60 percent possession of the ball, along with 19 shots at any goalkeeper should equal victory. Though Thomas Tuchel’s mens’ struggles at the Bridge continue in this run-in; though attaining a top four place remains vital and feasible.

Expectations of Boehly’s agenda include suggestions that the LA Dodgers supremo must reassure the German gaffer that uncertainty over crucial personnel will desist. Handing new and improved deals to foremost assets such as Reece James and Mason Mount is another item at the top of the to-do list. The contemporary proprietors feel they must announce themselves with good deeds, as well as understanding that they are behind other outfits due to the sanctions. This issue is thought to have been a major factor in Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen switching allegiances to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.
