FEATURED IMAGERY
Quote Wikipedia
“A picture is worth a thousand words“. Is an adage in multiple languages, meaning that complex and sometimes multiple ideas. Can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description.
If any of these slides can go towards achieving a portion of the above, then great. Just wanna be a part of the bundle! 🙂 “you know what I mean”!
Feel welcome to quickly flick through a few featured slides. Each with a link to the Blog-post giving context to the story behind the imagery.

Generally, fans know very little about the inner workings of the football club that they follow. However, they can form an opinion based on what is reported in the media and elsewhere over time. Sometimes it is difficult to follow the entirety of the situation. The aim here is to monitor the fast and furious developments at Chelsea Football Club since the Clearlake Capital takeover, and then allow the viewer to make their own decision, after consuming the data.

At the time of the largest financial takeover of a football club, Chelsea had just won the CL and Club World Cup. Todd Boehly has had experience in the States developing the LA Dodgers baseball team to a higher degree. But do their methods translate to football in a different country and culture?

- Data
- Debate
The rapid speed of change, the sacking of key personnel at the club, and the implementation of a super youth development team model are, to say the least, controversial. Many experts and insiders are perplexed, but are there wisdom in their ways?
Please see the incident line – a work in progress.. Anything that makes this ultimately a more accurate guide for future reference. Feedback welcome.
