Their fans are unhappy and it\u2019s open season on Chelsea. I totally understand that,\u201d Solhekol wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I will still stick my neck out and say, if they get the right manager in and if they make a couple of smart, experienced signings, people with character, personality, leadership qualities, then I think Chelsea will be back soon. Things can turn around very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Chelsea can only dream of Man U-style turnaround<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a bold claim, considering how rotten this project appears to be, from top to bottom. However, the point was made by Matt Law recently that it only took one good transfer window and one positive manager change to switch things up dramatically at Man U.<\/p>\n<p>We can only hope Chelsea\u2019s have the same luck.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Solhekol also spoke about Enzo Maresca, claiming that Chelsea had been happy \u201cto see the back of him.\u201d How they must regret it now.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something so horrible that could happen this weekend that we\u2019re almost certain it will happen, given our recent record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
