Thanjk you.

I very much doubt the majority of Chelsea fans have been supporting Chelsea since they starting watching football.
The very fact that Chelsea are my (2nd closest) PL team, and the fact that i didnt go off to 'support' them, is the exact opposite of gloryhunting. It would've been easier in many respects.
If it was purely a case of the club running by its own means, why did Moores have to sell up in the first place??
And I am not ashamed to admit it but I wanted Citeh type owners as well, so we could go out and get the best players just like we used to (even for a year or so before the FFP rules kick in). And have an amazing stadium finally built.
I meant in terms of Broughton's choice of new owners, and the impact it eventually had on the club's ability to keep Torres.

I suspect Broughton must have talked with Torres at some point, and who knows, maybe he did say that if it does not work out come to the Chavs.
Perhaps he relayed some confidential info to senior Chavs so they could make the right approach for Torres. Clutching at straws I know, but you never know.

He did at that time. If you believe what is written he thought we would get Citeh type owners and by now his team mates at LFC would all be superstars.
Alas, Agent Broughton found us the perfect owners who were not quite what Nando expected. The rest as they say is history.
(Might be a load of bull, but it makes me feel better so I am going with it. )
To be honest, these are the things I would rather remember him for. In 20 years people will look back and remember the good.
He is a ******* of a man for doing this. I just dont understand the logic or the timing.
Really? I think it's all pretty clear. Look at Arn's post above for instance.
. Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
You were a glory hunter. Just like me and countless others.
I have never known one single person change the team they support. Do you?
That was kinda my point about the modern day chelsea fan. Did you not get it?
As for 1985-86 - also the kind of era where you'd see one match on tv per fortnight, if you were lucky. Invariably, Liverpool vs _________
Who do you expect a 5-6 year old kid, who got to watch LFC more infinitely more than any other team and got to know their players more than any others, to support?
