Chelsea is currently a BROKEN club: Self-sabotage & scrapping projects before they start

Thanks to Harry’s for sponsoring! Redeem a Harry’s Trial Set for just $5 when you go to harrys.com/rabonatv
Some sects of Chelsea supporters are in a tailspin once again, as another slow start to the season has seen them ask major questions of Mauricio Pochettino, and now he's under pressure. But having just started his job, it seems ridiculous to even consider giving him the sack. However, this is Chelsea we are talking about, a club that sacked Tuchel for almost no reason, and a club that has a history of sacking managers for the lightest of “infractions.”
One thing is for certain: Pochettino isn’t the problem. Access to funds isn’t the problem. But there is a developing culture at the club that is making the leash shorter and shorter for every manager that arrives. And the thought of being able to execute a project at Chelsea? Good luck.

I think you nailed it when you said they're buying players for tomorrow and expecting results today. I'm no football manager, but it seems to me like there needs to be a balance of youth and experience in clubs. Chelsea have stuffed their team with youthful raw talent that don't have enough seasoned players to guide them and help them believe in themselves.

[@asitmohanbaghel7731]

Balanced one

[@pijesz]

Newcastle is buying young players as well but they are slowly being involved in the first team instead. You can't simply buy a new group of young players and then expect them to click and deliver results within a few months. In a lower standard league maybe, but not in a top flight one.

[@onlydbrasko]

Arsene Wenger post-Invincibles tried to win with youth but couldnt except he was on a tight budget. Nobody currently at Chelsea is on Arsene's level, not even close.

[@arugono]

You mean buying tomorrow's profit today and hoping not to get relegated. Chelsea aren't buying tomorrow's talent to win today.

Abramovich left Chelsea as world champions and 3rd best team in the league also having lost both domestic cup finals only on penalties. Blue Co took that to 12th place, and points wise the worst season since 1988 (35 years). Add to that exit in the first game in both domestic cups. The first season was shambles whatever they want to call it project or process.

[@utkurhalilov2430]

@@nikolasavic1525 Current Mourinho is better than what Chelsea have hired since sacking Tuchel. He won the conference league with Roma in his first year, and led them to the Europa League final last year. The man is a serial winner, he wins wherever he goes. Let's not forget what he has achieved with a shambolic Manchester United side, winning the Europa League and finishing 2nd in the PL. Even when he was at Spurs, he led them to a Carabo Cup final and was sacked right before that game, I'm pretty sure he would have won that final if he was still in charge. And with the amount of funds he would have had at his disposal at Chelsea, they would have been in a much better predicament (maybe win a few trophies) then they currently are.

[@strainsofjasmine5658]

I love Mourinho but I doubt he would’ve won the league in this era of the prem with Chelsea. He is a great manager but his antics have kind of caught up to him. It used to be that his managerial expertise and skill outweighed all of it but now it’s definitely just the antics. He’s still a good manager but I think he’d need to become very versatile tactically to even compete with Pep or Klopp

[@kypl1910]

Mourinho doesn't work with young kids.. he doesn't have the patience for them lol he wins with older, experienced players

[@utkurhalilov2430]

@@strainsofjasmine5658 Not saying that he would have absolutely won the league, but he would have made it a lot harder for Pep and Klopp to run away with it. Mourinho knows exactly the type of players he wants and would work in his system, the last 2 successful strikers at Chelsea were Diego Costa and Didier Drogba both of whom were brought to the club by Mourinho. Chelsea have spent more than a billion since Boehly took over, and have only been going backwards. The point I'm making is, Mourinho would have built a strong competitive team that would have competed against the likes of City and Liverpool with that much money at his hands.

[@kitty_visionary_meow]

Didn't Chelsea fire a manager after winning the league? I remember this and feeling disgusted by it and as far as I am concerned, that moment was a snapshot of the club's overall culture, an attitude that led them here. And so, for me, the fall from grace was rather inevitable. They have a poisonous air of entitlement.

I'm not an Arsenal supporter but AFC did learn their lesson and they stuck with Arteta for several seasons. Under Arteta Arsenal finished like 9th and 8th in two his first two seasons and people were questioning his ability to revive the club. Right now not only Arsenal are back on track but footballers seem to show desire to play for Arteta. Maybe they got lucky in finding the right guy for them, maybe they'll falter again soon, but Arsenal has done something few clubs do--- showing patience.

[@ryomawashere4032]

Different spectrum. Patience is not the key ingredient here, the media keep spinning this false narrative. If patience was to be hold, Potter wouldnt be sacked. The faith showed to Arteta isnt a blind faith. Arteta came in with a plan, the 5 steps plan, and the owner bought into it. Arsenal had backed Arteta in more occasion over the years, even publicly showing it by giving him a new contract while Arsenal are in a losing streak (that is part of Arsenal all or nothing documentary). They even take it a step further by willing to payout the contract for players that arent part or supporting that plan (Edu convinced the owner this is an investment, not a lost). Watch Arteta's first press conference in Dec 2019, he said what his plan and vision for Arsenal are and it is starting to bear fruit now. Theres more to it that just Arteta been given time.

[@tokilladaemon]

Tbh I think it was more a case of the owners having no ambition and not really caring about the results. There were a lot of people saying arteta out for a long time, and he managed to get it right in the end but I think it's kind of pure luck for the owners that he did - I seriously doubt any decisions were made with footballing glory in mind

Tell that to the Real Madrid fans. As a fellow RM fans, I am so frustrated with people calling for Ancelotti's head, or Rodrygo being dropped because "they sucks." No matter how many times us old timer said, "just be patient, we are in transition." They just don't care, they want amazing results as if we still have BBC up front and KCM in mid. I'm just going to add here, someone will inevitably said, "we should have bought a striker, preferably Harry Kane, at last transfer window." To that I say, "with what money?" The club already said they refused to go into a bidding wars with oil-clubs, especially for players above 30 years.

The fans around me at Chelsea are so shortsighted. I’m not seeing that many people calling for Poch’s head but when Tuchel was fired, people were straight at Potter. They were calling for the sack as soon as Tuchel was sacked. Tuchel wasn’t doing well during the season either. He’d lost a lot of the dressing room because he’s not an amazing man manager, more so a tactician who treats players like chess pieces at times. I’m sure we would have seen him come back over time because the dip in his form might have been due to injuries and of course the uncertainty of sanctions placed over ownership.

I mean if it certainly paid off, every football club should be buying costly teenagers and just be patient with it, it's the perfect plan, what could go wrong? Answer, everything. There is no assured certainty in football. We've seen it with our predictions start of every season. This is why fans panic, not every fan is a barbarian that doesn't understand a project/process. Fans also do understand there needs to be a hedge in case things go wrong. What was the hedge when Graham Potter was hired for big money long term contract? None. Chelsea relied on his goodwill to relieve major percentage of the owed money after the sacking, and lucky that Potter complied. This is why Pochettino has a shorter contract. The hope with this project is that with time there's enough of the signed youngsters firing to keep the club financially sustainable. While it might be enough to keep the club financially sustainable, no fan that has supported a top four club in recent history want to sustain mediocrity, specially a club like Chelsea that's synonymous with trophies. The project only truly wins if majority of the youngsters are a big success, which is low on probability scale. Name a club where they signed handful of teenagers and all have gone on to contribute to the club winning tons of trophies and titles for the club. There's almost none, because it's not highly probable. Chelsea have boatloads of them. So unless there's some change in the way things are operated at Chelsea, this is a low-medium probability high risk move. Already seen a bit of it having the worst season in 35 years (since 1988) last time out. If the luck is on the side then fantastic, but without a hedge of any kind it puts the club into a major uncertainty. Fans have every right to voice what they feel; good or bad.

This is too quick, we dont know this yet, there is no indication perceived turmoil now is indicative of some critical flaw.

We have had so many iterations if amazing attack with uncoordinated defense, then unfinished attacks with solid defense. The foundation if self-belief and consistency takes time if you want to get it right, and no league punishes this more than the prem, which is by far the most competitive. The owners' ambition is right, and they are far too smart not to have learned from their mistakes and seen what remains good strategy.

@@edwardtafadzwafusire9243wat makes no sense is that how does Boehly let tuchel spend 300m and then sacks him after like 6 games… just braindead… 1 Bn and no proven striker maybe due to a fear of them flopping

[@jos.8058]

Very insteresting to see how different chelsea and city approach are. City owner is much patient with the process compare to chelsea 😮

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

I think you are a bit to gentle when discussing Pochetino's time at PSG. There is no shame in failing to win the Champions League with PSG, but failing to win the League with them is. You can always fail to win the cup, even the best team with the best manager can have a bad match and be eliminated in a knockout game. But being inconsistent enough to get fewer points than a club who has about twenty percent of their budget over thirty eight matches is unacceptable and has only happened two times since they became that rich.

[@cx3929]

Frank Lampard started the decline and Todd Boehly thanks to the UK government via Roman not being able to own Chelsea was the final nail in the coffin.

Never been this early love your videos 🫶🏻

[@itsphilfromtubesday8677]

Your spurs summary of Poch is flawed as it doesn't account for the fact he had a couple of windows of no signings and Levy's poor recruitment tactics killed that team

[@Shizekage_james]

I have to disagree with one point you made. Chelsea, imo, are a terrible squad.. They are unbalanced and there doesn't seem to be many leaders in their at the moment. Newcastle and Brighton have recruited exceptionally well in recent windows while Chelsea and their recruitment team have not. The contracts are laughable at least the length of them are and they are trusting players who were almost out of the door to play key roles mere months later. From an outsiders perspective they seem to be trying to one up their "rivals" in the top 6 and trying to stop them from buying their targeted players as opposed to building a balanced squad that can match and adapt to the managers style. Given the age profile of the majority of their recruits learning to be tactically flexible shouldn't be too much of a problem but if they don't focus on finding a way to balance the squad they will not go anywhere really. Depth in the defence, at least quality depth because they have struggled for the last couple of years without James and Chilwell and a proven goalscorer. They have good players who could be great but they really do have one of the worst squads, when you take what is needed from a modern football club squad in to account, in the league.

[@hosman1391]

Reece James is about our best goal threat on the team

[@legowarlord2605]

16:50 I’m not too worried if football ends. I know that we’ll get update soon after: football 2

[@ambeatch]

This sound exactly like my Spurs minus all the trophies 🏆

[@nassdj8493]

As always great content, bs free video. Thumbs up man. 1 like is not enough

[@itsgametime9806]

We need a p2 by March

[@TheFrede2300]

The new owners have come in and made to many changes to quickly. They've signed way to many players where majority of them are very young and have very little experience with basically no leaders or experienced players leading them. We have 2 sporting directors running things, i don't understand how you can possibly think having 2 voices, 2 visions will ever work but for some reason that's what we're doing... I don't have much trust in the ownership or the directors, but Poch regardless of his flaws has my trust simply because we need stability and he fits majority of my personal wants in a manager

[@thetimeisrite]

The thing I keep thinking about is just how young this squad is, with an average age around 22-23. I think once that number hits 24-25, Chelsea will be a much better side.

[@albertbrammer9263]

Except meeting FFP requires them to get Champions League football. They are hoping it is just a financial penalty. Personally, they will sell Chalobah, Gallagher and maybe Reece James in the next year to balance the books.

[@heywho1139]

Jose maurinho is one of the few managers that can save Chelsea

[@miguelestebanpiedralopez2713]

Weren't you placing Chelsea on the top 4 on your predictions for the PL this year?

[@Tom-qb1rj]

You had to get this video out just before we actually started performing as the analytics say we should be. Us and city only teams winning every game on xg but oh no, we’re a broken club

[@geronimo8159]

Hmmm... But maybe Chelsea is the "it's not a phase, Mom!!"-girl 😂

[@mrmr5580]

The problem at Chelsea is the current owners strategy, theyll be a mid table team now, and will continue to be with the odd sporadic season where they push top 4/5 (UCL spots), hate to tell you Chelsea fans but this is your new normal

[@davinator5167]

Poch definetely did worse than Tuchel at PSG and looks like at Chelsea as well.

[@cesarcontla3603]

I agree with everything about your video other than the example of the penny today that doubles every day or $1M. Money now is always better than money later. It would take years to reach $1M if you chose the penny that doubles every day. Just get the $1M now and make even more money with it during the same time frame.

[@Adrian-bx4ue]

earnestly hope we get in a relegation scrap to purge the fanbase of toxic nerds whose identity is more attached to supporting a top 4 club than backing the blue through thick n thin

[@mr.sushi2221]

Chelsea are lucky to have gotten a 1-0 honestly. They looked horrendous

[@Tom_murray89]

Even though I don’t support Chelsea I find the dramatic downturn worrying

[@jusdeee]

Video is good. Just came across the channel. A bit irked when you said "talent" and used a pic of Sterling, a guy who is big part of the problem. Keeps playing becoz of price tag and past achievements.

[@4.ann.y]

I have Question, Chelsea have signed many "strikers" in the past. E.g. Werner, Lukaku & Higuain on loan, they have all failed, what would you do? Who would you sign?

[@rb26benjamin8]

True their last best striker was Diego Costa the problem is their team have no.main stay players with experience to build a structure or a culture around example

[@12thMandalorian]

Worryingly Chelsea could be in serious financial trouble within a few years, the new ownership will be ousted if they aren’t careful

[@ManuelBLUEKTBFF]

Okay but with that haircut you look like Niran from the FNG channel.

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

Damn Pochettino is at Chelsea now?

[@mariobalanzategui4026]

No wonder Angry Rantman is popping his veins when he talks about Chelsea. In a serious note, if Chelsea won’t fix their internal problem then they are in deep trouble.

[@pallavpurkayastha915]

On top of bad perofrmances and results, it is doubly painful to deal with plastic fans who are entitled brats...They think Chelsea was born in 2003...

[@houradm.419]

As Chelsea fan nobody asked for tuchel to be sacked .. tuchel hadn't the players but he grinned results imagine these player under tuchel

[@davidpeniel7168]

Idk why this guy is trying to make it seem Potter’s sacking was unjustified

[@krusher181]

Their fans who comment online will assure you that they’re fine because they won the UCL twice in the last ten years.

[@donnydon6522]

Chelsea fans love RabonaTV!

[@TheFergo911]

Yeah there are so many Juventus fans who just see no hope and want everyone to be let go. It

[@cupertinoish]

Among all top English teams, Chelsea has the least patience fan base. They're so used to sacking managers that managers don't get any trust or tolerance, much less respect. At the moment they're ruining careers of both the players and the coaches.

[@ganaed9954]

Football is ending 2024 you didn't hear Paco

[@JonasFilberg]

🙏🏿

[@0M0rty]

The "Is it broken" kinda... well, broke the video for me. The attacks should be launched on supporters, the entire pyramid, from the ruling bodies, through the owners to bottom, is responsible. Supporters desiring wins and showing impatience is just a symptom, not the problem, of the overcommercialized nature of football, with investment groups throwing money at a brand (that's what Chelsea FC, sadly, is) for expected return. So yeah, Chelsea is selling people a product, no wonder people treat is as such when it's not "working as intended" i.e. winning right away.

[@kungkungz1321]

Me as an Arsenal fans: *deja vu*...

[@dvdv8197]

On the bright side: they won against Brighton. 😄

[@speakertrees]

I like football tbh. Have fun gang, it is a nice path

The are just going on and will go on like Man U even worst! Wait and see.
