🗣Joe Cole:

“I was talking to a Chelsea fan the other day who loves the club. It felt more like a therapy session.

“He said to me, ‘It was different in your day, we felt connected.’

“I asked him why he felt like that, and what we did differently apart from winning matches?

“He said there was a response to the losing games, and more engagement with the fans.

“He used Shevchenko as an example; he came in and had a terrible time, but the fans could see he was trying.

“He was humble, and every time they sang Shevchenko’s name, he acknowledged them. For a Ballon d’Or winner who’s having a difficult time, they still remembered that more than 15 years later.

“It’s the little things that I think the group need to take charge of, but no senior players are leading that at the club.

“They don’t realise how important it is, and what he said was that, he says, at Chelsea, success is not judged on how many trophies you won, but on how much money you’re in the red at the end of the season or how much profit you’ve made.

“That summed it up.

“That seems to be where our Chelsea Football Club is now, not judged on performance on the pitch, but on the finances.

“And you can’t tell me anything other than that. It’s the truth.”
