1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We await, with baited breath
The deal of the decade
Nay, the deal of our history

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 We await, on pain of death
For a shining knight
To gallop to our rescue

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We await, and all while, understand
How beyond football’s corner flags –
Putin’s purge ravages another land

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Some among us, chant
Giving thanks to the memories
That dirty money brought

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Some among us can’t
Reconcile those riches and rewards
Was it worthwhile – or all for naught?

Notes

11/03/2022:
Analysis: Pat Nevin, former Chelsea winger (and hero to this wannabe) speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live:

We are in unchartered water, but the football side, what will happen to the club now? No-one knows. I can tell you something, it’s very serious.

I heard someone say recently the wage bill is £28m a week. Where will you get that if you can’t trade? If this carries on for a period of time, it’s strange looking to see how the club is viable in its current form.

It’s not hyperbole to say the future of the club is in serious danger.

I can’t say ‘everything will be OK’. I think the club will survive. Will it look the same after all this is over? No, I don’t think that will be the case.
