Some key points from the Interview
Paul Winstanley:
“If long contracts was just for PSR, we’d have stopped doing it. That was never at the forefront of the owners’ minds when we spoke to them about how we see it working, how we all see it working as a club.”
Laurence Stewart:
“Chelsea is a club that needs to be in the #UCL, it’s a club that needs to be competing to win trophies consistently and we want to do that with a certain way of playing football as well. So that absolutely is the ambition”
Laurence Stewart:
“One of the messages the owners gave us from the beginning is that this is not about a short-term win or a short-term project, it’s about long-term success.”
Paul Winstanley:
“Enzo Maresca was somebody we admired and were keen to bring here. We absolutely see him here for the long term, that’s definitely how we see it. He’s got the personality to manage this club and coach this team…”
Paul Winstanley:
“We had a significant offer for one of our academy products this summer that we absolutely chose not to take. There’s a lot of misconception out there. It’s not just about PSR, it’s contractual statuses, it’s circumstances.”
Also reported by the Telegraph
In response to Winstanley and Stewart only doing interviews when things are going well. The Telegraph referenced that the interview was meant to take place earlier but scheduling issues only allowed it to take place around this time.

Love the last paragraph. About only showing up when going well. Hopefully they continue to communicate and it doesn’t fall on Enzo all the time

If there’s one thing these guys love more than signing children, it’s blowing smoke up their own asses.

Bit of a puff piece but fair enough. Nothing in there that we didn’t already know or didn’t expect them to say.
It does kinda feel like a last chance saloon with these sporting directors. It’s got to work with Maresca or else it’s them whose jobs should be on the line. So far so good, and long may it continue.

Got nothing wrong with this interview but feel like a lot of the hate towards them could have easily been avoided if in the beginning, they said they wanna rebuild and that takes time and didn’t shit on the RA era

What a pointless interview. It’s just them repeating the same stuff that constantly gets briefed – that it’s a long-term plan and they believe in what they’re doing.

Nothing really interesting in that interview tbh.

How these guys still have a job is beyond me. Over a billion quid spent and we are worse off than before.

The chuckle brothers are back.

Both are failing in those jobs and need to be replaced with elite directors who know how handle big clubs

People criticize some of the transfer decisions by the Directors but they were handed a tough assignment. Sell an entire squad of about 20+ players and buy 40 new ones. Inevitably some of the incomings were going to fail. IMO they’re executing a plan presented by the ownership and they’ve done an exceptional job with the transfers.

Quite a funny coincidence they’ve decided to strut their stuff after a run of 5-6 decent games, while they were nowhere to be seen or heard from in the last 18 months when we’ve been absolutely wank and in utter chaos.
On a side note – if Winstanley, Stewart and the board agree on everything and have the exact same opinion, outlook and vision on all matters football or business, then why the fuck do we need two people doing the exact same job?

“We’re out of that now, we’re completely out of that. We’ve had to make some brave decisions. But we feel the squad and the staff here at Cobham, the manager, and the playing staff are in a really good spot.”
It’s their squad. They are in full charge and in a “good spot”.
I think we are about to find out about that. By the evening of 10 November.
