Chelsea fan protest organiser explains “the endgame” and what “the protest is about” | OneFootball

It’s time to get to the bottom of these protest plans that Chelsea fans are currently planning to happen at Stamford Bridge next week.

The Blues are in a bit of a rut right now and frustrations have crept in from the fan base after what was a terrible January transfer window followed by terrible form and results on the pitch since Christmas. Chelsea managed to only get a few loan deals sorted in the winter window, and didn’t do much else.

Joao Felix was one of the players who went out on loan to join AC Milan and despite a good start there, he has not had a good review in the last couple of games.

One player who is getting rave reviews though is versatile defender and midfielder Rentao Veiga, who joined Juventus on loan last month so he could play as a centre back. He is having a superb time there right now, and Juventus fans are urging their club to buy him on a permanent deal come the end of this season when his loan is up.

The Daily Express report that a group of Chelsea supporters are planning to protest against Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, the club’s ownership group, ahead of the clash with Southampton at Stamford Bridge on February 25.

“The protest is about change and hopefully causing the owners to have pressure applied on them by their investors as it will hurt their public image,” an unnamed organiser told football.london. “The endgame is change the model or sell up. Also, their terrible treatment of staff, players and stripping of all of the club’s former assets.”

“The protest will be a peaceful one with lots of fans and a few banners so that the fans can have their voices heard by the club. As of this moment, the protest will not continue inside the ground. There are already a few hundred [fans on board] but we expect these numbers to rise considerably before Monday.

“We want to highlight what the American ownership is doing to kill football here in the UK with exploitation and money being their priority.”
