Let’s see if they actually have the balls to stick to the sentence.

Pulisic in Jan makes more sense now, they must have seen this coming.

They'll appeal and stockpile in the summer only to later lose the appeal.

Also Chelsea have loads of decent players on loan so they can always recall people to pad the squad.

The biggest impact this will have on them is who they appoint next as manager.
They operate at a success at all cost with managers given little or no time .

That can't happen for the next appointment so I suspect lampard will get the job and will get time to blood the youth.
Also on the grapevine is putin wants ambromovich to put the spending on hold anyway.

Looks like sarri is leaving so maybe they might go for lampard.

Yep the appeal has gone in ! but the ban is still in force while it is being sorted.

Their first appeal was rejected quickly. This is their 2nd appeal.
