It's been a turbulent couple of weeks for Chelsea, with the club making the decision last month to part ways with Enzo Maresca after a string of disappointing results in the Premier League.
Following the dismissal of Maresca, the Blues have appointed Liam Rosenior to be their next manager in a move that has bewildered many, including large parts of the Chelsea fanbase.
The discontent between Chelsea fans and their ownership model has been brewing for some time now, and the appointment of Rosenior has seemingly tipped them over the edge.
Chelsea fans aim new chant at Clearlake
Once upon a time, Chelsea fans had a phenomenal relationship with their owner back when Roman Abramovich was running the club.
However, since Clearlake Capital became the majority owners in 2022, relations between fans and those who run the club have dwindled.
During Wednesday night's clash with Fulham at Craven Cottage, which the Blues ended up losing, the Chelsea fans in the away end made their feelings known with a new chant that went viral on social media.
The lyrics of Chelsea's new anti-Clearlake chant are as follows:
We don’t care about Clearlake,
They don’t care about us,
All we care about is Chelsea FC

A chant fit for a protest
The creation of this new chant feels timely, as Chelsea supporters' groups have revealed in recent days that they are planning to stage a protest against the ownership before their match against Brentford on Saturday, 17 January.
Upon announcing the protest, a group called ‘Not a Project CFC' revealed that they believe that Clearlake are running Chelsea ‘less like an elite club and more like a player trading farm focused on churn, speculation, and long-term potential at the expense of present-day competitiveness'.
The frustrations here boil down to Chelsea's perceived transfer policy of buying young players across Europe in the hope of boosting their values before selling on for profit.
FGG says: Not the start Rosenior needed
Liam Rosenior will be well aware that he isn't exactly a big name in the world of football management, so he shouldn't be overly surprised by the reaction to his appointment. If he can get this Chelsea team performing better on the pitch, though, then protests and chants will unquestionably die down.
