Chelsea’s miserable evening at Craven Cottage ended in a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, but the result itself was almost secondary to what unfolded in the stands.
Another error-strewn, ill-disciplined performance underlined the grim reality: the manager has changed, but the problems have not. Enzo Maresca is gone — the latest casualty of the chaotic BlueCo era — yet Chelsea still look defensively fragile, tactically confused and emotionally volatile.
And this time, the anger from the travelling support was unmistakably directed above the dugout.
Away End Turns on Ownership
Chelsea fans made their feelings crystal clear, with chants aimed squarely at co-owner Behdad Eghbali, who was watching from the stands alongside incoming head coach Liam Rosenior.
“A ‘BlueCo Out’ flag was being held up in the away end before kick-off, but the real audible disquiet from Chelsea’s fans came in the second half,” Jones wrote.
“With their team trailing 1-0, the away end was consistently ringing with anti-ownership chants, and that continued after Liam Delap’s equaliser.”
This was not a fleeting outburst — it was sustained, coordinated, and deliberate.

“We Don’t Care About Clearlake”
The chants grew louder and more pointed as the match wore on.
Supporters could be heard singing:
“We don’t care about Clearlake,
They don’t care about us,
All we care about is Chelsea FC.”
There were also choice chants directed personally at Eghbali, whose presence in the Riverside Stand did not go unnoticed by the away end.
As has become increasingly common since the takeover, fans also serenaded the name of Roman Abramovich, a clear statement of longing for a time when success and stability were expected rather than hoped for.
Cameras Miss the Moment of Truth
For Chelsea supporters watching at home, there was a bitterly ironic moment.
Sky Sports cameras showed Eghbali celebrating in the stands when Liam Delap equalised, arms raised alongside Rosenior as Chelsea briefly clawed their way back into the contest.
What viewers did not see, however, was Eghbali’s reaction when Harry Wilson struck the late winner — a moment that summed up the night and, for many fans, the ownership’s tenure.
Same Problems, Different Figurehead
Maresca’s departure has changed little on the pitch.
Chelsea remain:
- Poorly organised defensively
- Emotionally undisciplined
- Vulnerable to pressure
- Disconnected from their supporters
Rosenior, who officially takes charge this week, inherits not just a struggling squad — but a fractured relationship between fans and ownership.
The chants at Craven Cottage were not about one defeat. They were about four years of confusion, churn and broken trust.
And judging by the volume from the away end, that message is only getting louder.
