Although some Chelsea fans have been left scratching their heads in confusion and frustration when considering the extentof their team's recent slump, the club's more astute fans have been expecting a it for quite some time now.
When Roman Abramovich bought the club back in 2003, he clearly intended to propel the club to the top of European football by initially investing in top class players before investing in training and youth facilities in order to help the Stamford Bridge outfit develop their own talent. What Chelsea fans are seeing now is the transitional phase of this project, with the Blues starting to play with a blend of youth and experience on the pitch, a fact that has left commentators bemoaning the squad's apparent lack of depth. Some people still make Chelsea betting tips for the title, but they will have to find something extra if they are to push on.
With UEFA's new financial rules about to take effect, Chelsea are going to have to become a sustainable proposition. However, with Chelsea still looking to sign players such as Ramires, who can hopefully yet develop into world-class players during their time at the club, Abramovich has shown that he is still prepared to dip into his pocket to support the team when needed and the Betfair Football rumour mill reflects this.
Despite this, the fact remains that Chelsea fans have been enjoying sustained success for so long now that they are not going to like seeing their side come back down to earth with a bump. As a result, Blues fans will want to see their club's billionaire owner show his love for, and loyalty to, the club by dipping his hand into his wallet and bringing another world class player or two into Carlo Ancelotti's squad in order to help bring back the side's belief in the short term.
