as the title states, I know we are doing badly right now, but thank goodness the teams behind us are not consistent! otherwise we might have been 10th now. So as far as getting in the top 4 (which should realistically be our target) we can still do that.
I'm more concerned about next season, with players like A.cole and Lamps leaving we will be missing not only experience, but character. A sample of that has been laid in front of us with the absence of JT and Lampard, we know that they are injured and will soon be back, but once they are out, there is no way going back, i.e Drogba.
Arsenal did that when they sold their spine, Manchester UTD are masters of keeping the likes of Giggs and Scholes, so why are we taking such a direction after being so dependent on the same spine! we are going from one extreme to the other so quickly! No matter who we sign in the transfer window, you can never buy identity and character! Arsenal had to learn that the hard way, why should we do the same!
Next season worries!

i think weve got to get through this season, before thinking about next.
What happens this season will dominate next season.

I honestly think we could be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Roman era..........I can't see him turning around the mess he has created at Chelsea now and as more and more Chelsea fans become disenfranchised with Roman and the board he will decide to sell up and move on.......

And as far as I concerned the sooner that happens the better as it really does feel he is past his sell by date as owner of CFC

Biggish, you are right this problem has been simmering since the wilkins sacking, as to what will happen next is anyones guess R/a does have the ability to turn it around short term as always , without regard for the long term implications.
There in the problems multiply and just mount up.
For sometime i had all the concerns you have had , but in munich when we won the C/L , I accepted that Roman was doing it his way, but the truth is he and us are on a hiding to no where , he is not planning for sustainability.
Our squad is full of talent,but in balance we are weaker than when he took it over.
Ffking absurd!
