Yeah, the Board is doing the Club and the fans no favors with this move.
On the one hand, I sympathize a little, because after breathing some life into a side that has a rich history and huge fanbase... this move is a first step to wrecking the team. Not to speak of hoarding class players who get to ride the pine while they'd be automatic starters for, say West Ham or Everton. "Buying trophies" isn't a bad thing, no matter how much shit the press or other fans might mock you for it.
Then again... fuck Chelsea. We've got Arsene Wenger, for a couple more seasons at least!
(And yes, I'm laughing, LAUGHING at Ca$hley right now. Serves him right for leaving the club that brought him up through the youth ranks - even if we did no better with ten men in Paris.)
