THE BLUES ISN’T GOING TO POTT
Brighton boss Graham Potter believes Chelsea have the ambition to challenge the Premier League name after their summer spending frenzy.
The Blues have spent more than two hundred million pounds to take Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva, Ben Chilwell and Malang Sarr to Stamford Bridge.
Potter said: “The goal is transparent: compete, compete at the top.
“They had a very smart season last year, completed quarters with an embargo, introduced young players and were still able to take a position in the Champions League, was smart.
“I suppose for a club like Chelsea and for someone like Frank, who has competed in the most sensible way in his career, they will continue and leave to compete for the title.
“That’s what his aim looks like.
“They recruited well, they have a lot of players, they already have a lot of players there, so they’ll be a strong team, that’s for sure.
REAR SEAT DRIVING
The Premier League has criticized the government for restricting the number of enthusiasts authorized to watch matches, with one saying:
As verification opportunities are now limited to 1,000 fans, we will not provide any opportunity to kindly verify and compare measures designed to maximize fan safety.
As a result, Premier League clubs will postpone testing until a sufficient number of enthusiasts are allowed to return to allow in-depth testing.
With 1000 fans, not only would there be little to be informed of a verification event, but each and every adjustment would be very damaging.
By the month of the season without fans, more than one hundred million pounds are lost to football in all leagues, with the consequent detriment to the local and national economy.
It also harms the work customers of more than 100,000 people whose jobs depend on the day’s activities.

Chelsea introduced a primary review of the team this summer, spending more than two hundred million pounds on a number of more sensible recruits, adding German striker Timo Werner.
But Giroud remains determined to continue his career at Stamford Bridge, according to the Press Association.
Giroud has amassed seven goals in 12 games in all competitions to close last season with good taste after returning to football after the appearance of the coronavirus.
Werner’s arrival of 53 million pounds from RB Leipzig adds a new festival alongside England’s Tammy Abraham front.
