Chelsea is a badly run football club. The corporate model of BlueCo is completely out of sync with English football.
Multi-club ownership is an attempt to create a constant circulation of players, and now even managers—Liam Rosenior being one of the first real examples of a “company manager”. This is alien to how the English game has traditionally worked.
Rosenior wasn’t the norm of signing a manager in the usual sense, but as part of a wider system, aligned to a structure that stretches beyond a single club. That’s the shift. Like the original Premier League project, these multi-club models are imported ideas, modelled on American-style sports ownership, designed to centralise control over players, staff, and development pathways.
What you end up with is a conveyor belt. Players moved where needed, managers slotted in where they fit, all serving the wider interests of the ownership group rather than the club itself. Rosenior wasn’t just managing Chelsea—he was operating within a system that ultimately made him disposable.

Sports Minister Andrea Abodi said such a move would be inappropriate, stressing that “qualification is done on the pitch.”
He added that the proposal—reportedly raised by U.S. Special Envoy for Global Partnerships Paolo Zampolli to FIFA—is neither feasible nor justified.

You're not imagining it. Life in Britain is getting worse.
Real wages are still barely above where they were before the 2008 financial crash. That’s over 15 years where workers have effectively stood still while the cost of living is sky rocketing.
Private rents have risen by roughly 30–40% in the last decade. In many areas, a third or more of your wage disappears into housing before you’ve even lived a day of your life.
Energy bills remain far higher than they were just a few years ago, even after the so-called “relief”.
Food prices have surged and credit use is climbing just to bridge the gap. People are using apps like clearpay for a takeaway.
This isn't living, it's surviving. We believe that all our consumer purchases give us freedom, but a choice of ten different types of trainers doesn't revive workers from a day-to-day existence.
Public services show the same pattern. NHS waiting lists in England have been sitting at over 7 million cases. An issue created to push us towards insurance based healthcare.
Councils have lost any power against central government with their only remit is to make cuts, with the deepest cuts hitting working-class areas.
This isn’t an economy being carefully managed for the population, it's finance capital squeezing every bit of profit they can.
This is what capitalism looks like in decay.
Nothing new is being built. What already exists is being sold for parts.
One thing that doesn't change is corporate profits remain strong, wealth concentrates even more at the top, and the same political class becomes more ravenous and war mongering.
Capitalism has always exploited workers. At one time British capitalism could use its exploitation abroad to placate workers at home, workers with a better level of class consciousness.
Now those streams are shrinking, they have to attack workers at home. Workers whose class awareness is nowhere near what it was.
Our only hope is to build that awareness back up. The class struggle needs the masses aligned to remove the ruling class.

Livorno Shuts It Down!
On the 25th of April, Italian Liberation Day, dockworkers united to block the loading and unloading of arms en route to occupied Palestine. All solidarity and power to the people of conscience that shut down the port in a blatant refusal of the ongoing systemic feeding of militarization.

Obituary – the late and unlamented Eddy Shah
The news that newspaper proprietor Eddy Shah had died at the age of 81 did not make headline news, notwithstanding the obituaries sections. Indeed, the name Eddy Shah would today only have resonated with people of a certain age, given that his coming to prominence…
