I’d love it if they threw a ton of money prising Gallagher away from Palace. I just can’t see him going up north - from what I heard, he didn’t enjoy being far from home.
Chelsea can’t recall Gallagher from palace this season because he’s played in more than 50% of their games so far. It’s part of the loan agreement.
But surely if they got a sale? I thought that's what @JiMMy 85 meant.
Saw in Howe's post match comments that the owners went into the dressing room after the game.
He tried to dress it up as them being supportive but never a good sign when owners decide to enter the dressing room, seen a few interviews with managers who said they knew the writing was on the wall when owners started doing that.
I wouldn't be shocked if he was gone before the end of the season, I know the owners have said they've made provisions for being relegated but it would be an absolute disaster for them if they got relegated
Why would it be an ‘absolute disaster’? I know they seem like they’ll be ok now but if they do end up going down, what difference is it going to make? They’ll just spend millions in the summer, piss the league and be back up again the next year.
Bruno Guimaraes made his first start tonight and scored one of the craziest goals I’ve seen for a long time. A sort of back heel volley. worth a watch.
What a turnaround, even more impressive with a few key injuries that i thought could be crucial: Trippier, Wilson & Saint Maximum, really impressed with Eddie Howe and now with a tougher run in, at least they now should be fine so could pick up some points of the top teams.
Unless i've misunderstood that then it's a non story surely. Clearlake own 60% of Chelsea, and they also manage assets for the Saudi PIF. There's nothing in there to say that PIF have anything to do with Chelsea.

Where did Clearlake get the money to buy Chelsea?
In an unrelated incident PIF have pumped billions into Clearlake to 'manage'.
Doesnt make any sense, why would PIF want to silently own part of Chelsea. The reason they have bought Newcastle is for publicity and the benefit of sportswashing
Clearlake investors only hold a maximum of 5% of the company, and that company invest or have assets in over 300 places/companies/things. No-one of us know if within that, all the investors have fingers in all 300, or if they all pick and choose what they personally invest in, but I have a feeling that's how they'll say it is.
The Saudi's have the money to buy Chelsea outright, if they really wanted to they could jog Newcastle on and buy them instead, they don't need or have any reason to hide through Clearlake

"Pathetic" Newcastle stars receive dressing room visit from Saudi chiefs after FA Cup loss (msn.com)
Dan Burn signs from Brighton
Matt Targett signs from Villa.
Also trying to sign Lingard on loan but West ham are favourites.
Eddie Howe doing a brilliant job.
worth a watch.
Mostly saying Newcastle have sold their soul, fans won't be happy about this etc. It's an AWAY kit, i doubt they'll be too fussed to be honest.
Farce
