    Is the Chelsea project broken? | The Football Boardroom
    Apr 16 2026
    It’s been anything but quiet on the West London front this season at Chelsea. Ill-discipline on the pitch, fallings out off it at both boardroom and dressing-room level, financial losses, a controversial fine, question marks around the head coach… And it promises to be a summer of discontent in SW6 should the club fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Christian and Henry drill into both accounts and accountability at the Bridge and assess what the men from California can do to rewrite the script and land a Hollywood ending.
