Chelsea owners depicted as clowns in Stamford Bridge sticker campaign

It is unknown who is responsible for the stickers and whether or not they will continue to appear within Stamford Bridge, but the fans are making their dissatisfaction towards Chelsea owners clear. 

They chanted against Boehly during the draw with Brentford and the Chelsea Supporter’s Trust were disappointed with a response from chief executive Chris Jurasek, another Clearlake employee, to their letter outlining the “serious concerns” of fans.

In their letter, the Trust said: “Unless the situation improves, this seems likely to manifest itself in more targeted chanting, especially at televised games, and quite possibly more organised, overt, and impactful forms of protest by some sections of the fanbase.”

Chelsea have not commented on their communications with the Supporters’ Trust, whose chairman Mark Meehan offered an olive branch to the board in an interview with BBC London on Wednesday night.

Meehan said: “It was probably a way of offering an olive branch to the board and saying ‘look, it’s not good at the present moment in time, but there’s a lot of good happening and this is a retrievable situation’. We’re asking the club to work with us and perhaps even other supporters’ groups to improve the supporter-board relationship.

“The club, when the owners started, did say they want to be the trailblazers in fan engagement and they are doing a lot of good things already. We are complimentary of that. But we are saying they need to go further. It’s very much about opening up. Open up to the wider supporter base, be transparent, talk about your strategy, talk about your ambition. And we know there’s going to be financial challenges. Chelsea supporters are adults, share them, have that adult conversation. Daniel Levy and Spurs can have an open meeting with Tottenham supporters. Why can’t Chelsea Football Club?”

Jurasek has faced criticism for reportedly referring to supporters as “customers” and cutting the bus subsidy for away travel.
