  1. Now we'll find out who the "real" Chelsea fans are over the next few seasons, if Chelsea drop down the league with no new megastar signings. It will be interesting to compare Chelsea's overseas fan base numbers over the coming seasons and whether there will be a huge drop off or not.

  3. ​ @blueisthecolor3463  Yeah, I'm not talking about real local Chelsea fans. They obviously will continue supporting their local football team, regardless of future club performances. You can't compare Chelsea to Man United or Liverpool. Their huge support pre-exists even the formation of the Premier League. Without the mega-billions investment Abramovich has put into Chelsea over the last couple of decades, it's extremely unlikely Chelsea's worldwide support would be anything near what it has been with that investment, and the success that has bought, sorry, I meant 'brought' (or did I?) for Chelsea FC. ;p But it's undoubted that Chelsea's overseas popularity increase coincided with their national and international success from having some of the best players in the world ~ Which only came about under Abramovich's tenure at the club. I remember when Abramovich first took over and it was ridiculous, with Chelsea signing one world class player after another , week-in, week-out during the transfer windows. But even more recently, Abramovich always ensured you had the top world class managers and players. And sustaining an elite level youth academy system is not exactly cheap to continue either. I'm just saying, without all that, the overseas popularity might decline quite rapidly. We'll just have to wait and see who the new owners are and what kind of investment they are willing to continue making in the club.

  4. Was he really a 'blue' or an undercover 'red' all along?
