This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

A few for him and the players because it's obviously not a situation and for all the

for the old employees at Chelsea because it's nothing

they are responsible for but what happens around.

I think there's one man is really responsible for that

and it's Vladimir Putin in the first place. And I don't know about Roman Abramowitz's role in all these kind of things.

But over the years you could guess that maybe he's pretty close and then I think what the British government did is right

to be 100% honest but it is still not cool for the people at Chelsea and for all the supporters, I get that.

But I think the things the government did is all right.

To matters here, I just wonder what progress has been made since we last asked about Mo Salas

contract and the reason I'm asking is because obviously the signing of Louis Diaz has

been another indication of the level out of ambition of this place to continually improve the squad.

You've won one trophy this season and they're still competing for three others.

So how persuasive is all that, do you think, to persuading Mo, that his future remains here that he should sign my new contract?

Oh, I think yeah I more definitely expect this club to be ambitious we were in the last years and we are

and so I it was a question if I think that the signing of Louis Diaz helps more to make it.

Does it help because it's it showed I think one of the things that most spoken about is seeing

that continual level of ambition to improve the squad.

And again you're showing that, you're showing those indications, you're increasing for those

trophies and do you almost reach a point where, look, there's not much more we can do here Mo.

No, of course we cannot do much more.

That's how it is, but it's not about, I don't think it's about that.
