Everton are Chelsea’s opponents in the late kick off on Saturday and there is a fair chance that Man Utd could drop points at Anfield in the early kick off (lost their last three games there) so gaining a result here will be very important and could see Chelsea finish the day on the same [...]

Apart from the odd grass trimming or line marking, Stamford Bridge has seen very little action on the pitch over the last week or so. For once the main focus of the ground has been off the pitch, with the CPO vote being debated fiercely. Although, if we repeat last week’s performance the topic of [...]
Continue reading …OK – A few hard facts “Bruce ‘fast’ Buck’s” cronies don’t constantly re-tweet or publish answers and outrageous spin to on the club website (apologies for not cynically rolling out a player or ex-player on the payroll, to try to sell it to you!) ; Roman Abramovich has not kindly and magnanimously paid out £750m [...]
Continue reading …This whole debate over whether we should sell back our Chelsea Pitch Owners Shares has caused a few flashbacks for supporters, along with inevitable thoughts about that grey haired legend, Ken Bates. I wasn’t going to use the word ‘legend’ as it seems wrong. After all, we use it for people like Peter Osgood, DennisWise [...]

Over week ago the news was announced that the club would like the buy back the shares of the Chelsea Pitch Owners, in turn freeing up the only complication they would have in moving ground and giving Roman full control and the fans no say. As we all know, for nearly two decades the name [...]

Since Chelsea dropped their bombshell last Monday evening that they wanted to purchase the Chelsea Pitch Owner’s shares message boards lit up and Chelsea fans have found themselves split between the haves and have-nots. I should say from the start that I didn’t often have a spare £100 in the early nineties and so I [...]
Continue reading …On receiving my CPO voting form, I have spoken to many other Chelsea fans who bought shares way back 15 years ago. At that time none of the present existing board at Chelsea Football Club had anything to do with our club whatsoever. The situation now has stark similarities to the situation all those years [...]

In the week since Chelsea Football Club’s proposal to Chelsea Pitch Owners (CPO) was announced, there has naturally been a lot of discussion and the club believes there has been some incorrect information circulating on various social media platforms discussing the subject. Below is a clarification of some of these points and also answers to [...]

An open letter to Bruce Buck (chairman of Chelsea FC) and Richard King (chairman of Chelsea Pitch Owners) Dear Bruce and Richard, You have both made serious misjudgements on the proposal to buy back Chelsea Pitch Owners (CPO) shares. So serious, that I feel neither of you have any credibility left in your respective roles [...]

Chelsea’s season is beginning to look more promising as each week passes, the team looks to be gelling well under Andre Villas-Boas and there can be plenty of hope that Chelsea will be very realistic title contenders this season but how many competitions can Chelsea win this season, if any? The bookies think that Chelsea [...]

Terrible Americanism I know (no not necessarily Bruce Buck – Trick or Treat I mean!) ‘The Trick’ for Mr Buck this Halloween, seems to pivot on convincing 12,000 people with something valuable to hand it over and just trust the club implicitly when they promise to act in everyone’s best interests with it. So what’s [...]

Let’s get one thing clear at the outset, CFCnet is not against Chelsea FC moving to a larger ground. A poll of our readers shows that 63% are in favour of moving to a new home. Whilst we’d prefer to remain at Stamford Bridge, we’re not naive enough to think that we can challenge the [...]
