Approximately 500 Chelsea fans gathered for a protest against the club's ownership by BlueCo before the match against Manchester United. While the Metropolitan Police estimated the crowd size, many attendees felt the numbers were significantly higher, reflecting the deepening discontent among supporters. Fans from Strasbourg, France, also participated, signaling a broader coalition against the ownership. Chants such as ‘F* off Eghbali’ highlighted the fans' frustrations with co-owner Behdad Eghbali, who recently spoke about adjusting the club's recruitment strategy. The protest underscores a growing rift between the club's management and its fanbase, who feel their trust has been eroded. Chelsea's head coach, Liam Rosenior**, addressed the media following the team's defeat, attempting to maintain a positive outlook despite the ongoing challenges.
