End Of An Era - Chris Wright - Bog

- Chelsea 2021/2022

Bag om End Of An Era

Chelsea's unexpected Champions League triumph over Manchester City in May 2021 left supporters of the London club suspended in a state of excitement over the summer months as they contemplated the possibilities the campaign ahead might provide and season ticket holder Chris Wright was no exception. Having endured the harsh restrictions of the pandemic, like all match-going fans, Chris was looking forward to going to games again, walking down the Fulham Road towards Stamford Bridge, savouring the atmosphere and perhaps most of all taking his son Jack to watch the mighty Blues for the first time. In chronological order, Chelsea would be contesting six trophies; the UEFA Super Cup, Premier League, Champions League, League Cup, F.A Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. It looked a tall order to win them all, but manager Thomas Tuchel had the right minerals and owner Roman Abramovich had splashed the cash on striker Romelu Lukaku, a club record signing at £97.5 million, so maybe, just maybe the sweep would be clean. The new season got off to a cracking start. Chelsea won the Super Cup and come the beginning of December were top of the Premier League and on track to haul all the silverware they were competing for. Fantastic! What could possibly go wrong? 'End Of An Era' is Chris Wright's personal account of a campaign that unravelled in an unprecedented way as hope and glory were rapidly replaced by doom and gloom when Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Chelsea were put up for sale. Turn the pages and relive the extraordinary drama and reversals of expectation both on and off the pitch that toyed with emotions and frayed nerves. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction especially when the Blues are centre stage!
