To be honest we're not that different to Chelsea. This club is a shitshow
I feel that the chelsea rumors are just the press moving from one link to another without anything really happening. Now that he's out of the race for the chelsea job they need to link him to someone in the PL
We are a shit show, but it's not the same shit. With Paratici gone, and a new football CEO (or whatever his title is) JN may see us as a club he could help mold, maybe have a say in the next DOF.
Based on the ITK, the board have been broadly split on the next manager, but I would imagine they could all agree on JN, most of the fan base would be behind him and if we could announce in the next week/before summer it could give the squad a boost.
