Joe Cole says Chelsea fans dislike the owners and there’s “a massive protest” next week

Former Chelsea winger Joe Cole has advertised a “massive protest” next week from Chelsea fans against the club’s owners.

Things have gotten at an all time low as Chelsea sit just six points above 14th place in the Premier League FOUR years into this so-called project that the owners have put in place at the club.

Blues fans are absolutely FUMING now. They were fuming even before getting thrashed by Manchester City yesterday, but it’s only been elevated even more now. I don’t see one single Chelsea fan anymore with any hope around this project and these owners, and I’d go as far as saying that 99% of them want BlueCo, Chelsea’s ownership group, well and truly gone.

Protests planned

Chelsea fan protest 17/01/2026

There will be a big protest from Chelsea fans ahead of the Manchester United game at Stamford Bridge next Saturday, with some Strasbourg fans coming across the London joining it as well.

In comments reported on X yesterday, Joe Cole said:

“They don’t like the new ownership. They don’t like where the club is going. There is a massive protest next week.”

Head coach Liam Rosenior is nowhere near good enough to manage Chelsea, that should be clear by now. But he’s been doing his best to react to the City defeat yesterday, claiming that they have big plans for the summer transfer window.

The Blues boss also holds himself accountable for the defeat yesterday, as he should do being the manager. But it’s also clearly on this ownership who have built a squad that is FAR from good enough.
