This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

According to whom is the clock ticking? by HTownND

I think it’s interesting, for years, everyone lambasted Chelsea and Roman for his quick trigger.

Yet from all accounts he and Marina are giving Fat Frank a pretty long runway.

And the narrative is he’s heading for the sack from the outside. I get it sells ads and gets clicks, but unlike in the past, Chelsea seem to understand the situation, for once.

And I know everyone points to the outlay of cash this summer. But that was literally spending the money we had already. It’s not like Roman opened his checkbook up. They used the Morata/Hazard cash for 90% of that summer spending. They literally sold those two for just under 200M pounds.

The idea that there is win now pressure is coming from the outside, from most accounts. And I love Twomey but he seems to be the only “insider” pushing the pressure on Frank narrative.

I guess we will see. Everything I’ve seen says a push for a top 4 this year and some more spending in the summer and next year is the one people are pointing to.
