Chelsea supporters have decided it is time for their voices to be heard regarding the future of their club.
Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have not proven to be the most popular additions to the Chelsea family after taking over as owners of the Blues. Criticism is beginning to be fired the way of Sporting Directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart too.
Ahead of tonight’s match with Southampton in the Premier League, Blues fans are set to protest at Stamford Bridge against the current owners of the club and direction they are looking to take the project.
Chelsea fans are calling for Luis Campos to come in as the new Sporting Director, after questions have constantly been asked of the squad that the club have built with more than a billion pounds.
A rift amongst the two owners of the club has not helped things either. A meeting earlier this season left both Boehly and Eghbali exploring gaining full control of the club.

Their supporters have made their feelings known with protests outside of the ground a regular occurrence. However, the tide seems to be turning in France.
BlueCo have completed deals for promising players with the intention of them gettting regular Ligue 1 minutes. New signing Mathis Amougou will be loaned to Strasbourg at the end of this season.
According to The Guardian, some Strasbourg supporters are not sticking to the original protests for the fans in the stadium to remain quiet at the start of games.
The report goes on to say that the side winning games has gone a long way to changing the mind of some fans, and that gives a clear roadmap for what needs to happen at Stamford Bridge to get fans back onside.
A run of two wins in 10 Premier League games has left large sections of Blues supporters unhappy with performances on the pitch.
It was less than three months ago that Chelsea fans were serenading Maresca with chants from the crowd, and the football played at times this season can provide optimism.
