๐จ The Chelsea Supporters Trust has written an open letter to Chelsea's owners and leadership team.
๐ฃ๏ธ A Chelsea Supporters' Trust spokesperson. "Chelsea supporters have shown patience through a sustained period of change. That patience has not been matched by the level of clarity or accountability the club owes its supporters.
"This is not about short-term results. It is about trust and at this moment in time, that trust has not been earned."
The open letter says "Chelsea supporters have been asked to accept an unprecedented level of change in the name of a long-term vision that has never been clearly or consistently explained. Four years on, that vision has still not earned their trust."
It adds: "There is also widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of engagement between the club and its supporters."
"At the heart of supporter concern is a simple point: the current model has demanded a huge amount of faith from the fanbase, while giving too little clarity in return.
"Supporters have watched relentless upheaval. Players, managers, staff, and structures have changed at pace. This has been presented as part of a long-term plan. Yet four years on, there is still no sufficiently clear or convincing explanation of how that plan delivers sustained success while preserving a recognisable Chelsea identity...
That gap between intention and reality is now too significant to ignore."
