Chelsea fans are keen to make their voices heard again in regards to the current situation regarding the ownership of the club.
A number of Blues supporters were spotted outside Stamford Bridge before their Premier League game against Brentford to protest against Behdad Eghbali and the chiefs running the club.
The goings-on outside of the stadium didn’t seem to affect the Chelsea players too much. Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer’s goal helped deliver Liam Rosenior’s first Premier League win as a manager.

Todd Boehly has hardly been seen at Stamford Bridge recently, and seemed to avoid the brunt of the protests at the weekend.

Behdad Eghbali will only sell Chelsea for a profit
While confusion remains over what exactly some Chelsea fans are protesting against, the general consensus is that they want Eghbali and co to sell the club.
According to The Sun though, the only way that things are going to change at the top is if someone buys the club for a profit on the price it was bought for by the current owners.
The report also goes on to say that the only real contenders to do this would be a figure such as Roman Abramovich, or a sovereign wealth fund.
It was reported by BBC Sport that the takeover cost the consortium £4.25bn, a price tag that would take some matching.

Chelsea fans missing Roman Abramovich days
Chelsea fans didn’t appreciate just how good they had things under Abramovich in the past, with the former owner’s only goal being to win trophies.
Now, supporters are growing frustrated with the constant model of buying young players to develop them, not addressing the clear lack of experience currently in the first team squad.
There are no ongoing reports of any potential sale of Chelsea coming soon, and talk regarding the rift between Boehly and Eghbali has not surfaced in a while either.
Blues supporters are instead going to have to try another way of making their feelings known to the owners. The last two protests at Stamford Bridge have not resulted in much of a message coming across.
