Welcome to Episode 12 of The Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Podcast!

This week it was just myself and Dan, but we will be looking to have guests every other week for a nice balance, and next week we have another big guest!

We discussed -

* The fallout of the Lampard sacking and behind the scenes with the board and their trail of thoughts.

* Collectively pulling forward with Thomas Tuchel, what to expect from him, and what the board are expecting.

* Tuchel’s summer plans - Departures and arrivals? Declan Rice still a target?

* Niklas Sule and David Alaba rumours.

* Addressing the toxicity of Chelsea Twitter - English bias, lazy racism claims, a clear divide amongst fans, why the need to abuse and insult?

* Follower Q&A (we get through most of them!)

* Dan kills me in the famous Quickfire round!

Apologies for a couple of small connection problems early on in this - One of the downfalls of Dan being in Los Angeles, and myself in the UK!

Thanks for listening, we will back the usual time again next week for a Friday lunchtime release.
