From The Shed End is back — and this season, the expectations at Chelsea have changed.

With Xabi Alonso heading into the new campaign and Morgan Rogers arriving as Chelsea’s marquee signing, we discuss whether the Blues now have the squad to genuinely compete at the top of the Premier League.

We break down Rogers’ arrival and where he fits alongside Cole Palmer, the direction Alonso is taking the squad, Chelsea’s summer recruitment and the players who could still leave before the window closes.

We also discuss Danny Welbeck, Maxence Lacroix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Andre Santos and Romeo Lavia, before asking the biggest question of all:

What is the bare minimum for Chelsea this season?

Top four? A domestic trophy? Or should Chelsea now be involved in a genuine title race?

Plus, we look ahead to Real Sociedad, discuss Chelsea’s strongest XI and predict how many points the Blues should take from their opening Premier League fixtures.

Chelsea have spent. Chelsea have strengthened. Now there are no excuses.

Chelsea’s summer is entering a decisive stage as Xabi Alonso prepares to work with his squad for the first time.

In Episode 192 of the From The Shed End Podcast, we discuss Real Madrid’s public denial of interest in Enzo Fernández, whether his agent has created unnecessary uncertainty, and why Chelsea should demand at least £130 million if the midfielder is ever sold.

We also react to the latest Granit Xhaka developments, debate whether Chelsea still need an experienced midfielder, and look ahead to the players reporting for pre-season under Alonso.

Other topics include Marco Palestra’s role, the competition between Reece James and Malo Gusto, the players fighting for their Chelsea futures, and the biggest decisions Alonso must make before the new season.

Follow From The Shed End and let us know: should Chelsea keep Enzo, and what should Alonso’s strongest midfield look like?

Chelsea’s season is over, so it’s time for a full From The Shed End reset.

In Episode 191, Theo and Theo go through the end-of-season awards, debate the biggest winners and disappointments, audit the current Chelsea squad, discuss the transfer profiles the club should be targeting, and look at the Chelsea players involved at the World Cup.

Topics include:

• João Pedro as Theo’s Player of the Season
• Cole Palmer as the controversial flop/worst player pick relative to expectation
• Chelsea’s biggest squad gaps
• Transfer targets and profiles that could fix the team
• Chelsea players at the World Cup
• What success should look like in 2026/27

The worst managerial stint in modern Chelsea history is officially over, but the circus continues!

Welcome back to the From The Shed End podcast. In today’s massive episode, Theo and Theo break down the absolute chaos of the last 48 hours at Chelsea Football Club. We dive into the breaking reports from The Athletic regarding exactly why BlueCo sacked Liam Rosenior, the £1 BILLION debt crisis hovering over the club, and how the dressing room completely disconnected.

We also discuss the absolute disrespect being shown to John Terry. Why is a club legend with his coaching badges being completely ignored for the interim role while Callum McFarlane takes charge?

Finally, we look at the official bookies' odds for the next permanent Chelsea manager—will Clearlake go for Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner, or a sensational return for Cesc Fabregas?—before previewing our massive FA Cup Semi-Final clash against Leeds United.

It is another massive week at Stamford Bridge! 🏟️ Ahead of the highly anticipated clash against Manchester United, we break down the shocking news from The Athletic that Chelsea are already opening new contract talks with Moises Caicedo. Is it deserved, or is it a PR stunt? 🤔

We also dive deep into the absolute chaos off the pitch. The Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) has released a scathing letter to Behdad Eghbali regarding the irreversible toxicity between the fans and BlueCo. We discuss why Saturday's protest is so important. 🚨

Welcome back to the From The Shed End podcast. In this massive episode, we break down Liam Rosenior's decision to ban Enzo Fernandez for two games after his controversial comments about Real Madrid. We debate whether Enzo's Chelsea career is officially over and why the board desperately needs to abandon their Under-23 transfer policy to sign proven Premier League experience this summer. 📉

We also pay an emotional tribute to Chelsea cult hero Oscar, who was sadly forced to retire this week due to a heart condition. 💙

The "Almighty Collapse" is officially here, and it is time for a ruthless Chelsea 2025/26 squad clearout. Following the horrific 8-2 aggregate humiliation to PSG and a 3-0 battering by Everton, we are ranking every single player in the current Chelsea first team on the ultimate Tier List: KEEP, SELL, or LOAN.

With Liam Rosenior's tactics tearing this team apart and the BlueCo project looking like a complete failure, who actually deserves to wear the shirt next season? Theo joins the podcast to debate the futures of £100m midfielders like Enzo Fernandez, make ruthless decisions on Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto, and argue over why it might be time to permanently cash in on Wesley Fofana and Nicolas Jackson.

In this episode, we cover:

• The Goalkeeper Dilemma: Why Robert Sanchez is staying and Filip Jorgensen has to go.

• Defensive Disasters: Binning off Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, and Axel Disasi.

• The Midfield Engine: The truth about Romeo Lavia's fitness and keeping Moises Caicedo.

• Attacking Flops: Why poor recruitment means we are selling Garnacho, Gittens, and Delap immediately.
