Summary
Signing off on a sorry season...
Matt Davies-Adams has got the whole SOC squad alongside him for a round up of the 2025-26 season for Chelsea Football Club.
What are the main takeaways and reflections on this crazy campaign? What does not being in Europe mean from a financial perspective? Who have been the big winners and losers in the squad? And what's top of Xabi Alonso's to-do list heading into the summer?!
We'll be with you throughout the summer with squad audits, mailbags, academy check-ins, CFC at the World Cup - and assessing the rather large job the new boss has got on his hands!
Thanks for all your continued support and for joining us throughout the season.
Take part in our survey and let us know what you want from SOC going forward! forms.gle/S7Qdv1iPPnaemtps7
