Chelsea and Liverpool are tracking RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda.
According to Evening Standard, Chelsea have announced the start of the Fan Advisory Board (FAB) to improve the direct engagement with the supporters of the club.
It is an online application process where the fans can apply to be included in consultation when major changes are made to the club.
While the Blues are undergoing a transition period with new owners and the current manager Graham Potter struggling to win games, it is good to know that the club is open to engaging with people and seeing how they react to any change made. We all know that the opinion of each genuine fan should be heard and considered.
This fan engagement is part of the overall commitment by the club, keeping in mind the changing picture of the Premier League. The league will soon have a regulator that will keep an eye on whether clubs are keeping things transparent with the fans on every key decision made.
Chelsea want six people to be selected for the board, three of whom will be selected from the application process online and the other three from a shortlist by a panel consisting of club and independent representatives.
We know that in German football, fans do have an outright say in how the clubs are run. While their league is not one of the most competitive in the world, the involvement of supporters in running a football team is an intriguing aspect.
The fans are the backbone of any footballing entity. They spend the money on tickets, shirts, etc and they make the hard yards to support their heroes. In return, they must have some say in how that entity is run.
