Considering Rob Green was only at Chelsea for one season, he did pick up some good stories along the way.

So far the ones we’ve mainly heard about are those where he spoke “truth to power” about Maurizio Sarri’s boring training sessions, as the third choice goalkeeper who had nothing on the line.

He’s just told a funny story on Ben Foster’s Fozcast about winning the Europa League with Chelsea back in 2019 after a memorable domination of Arsenal in the final.

Blunt response to bonus questions after Europa League win

““I went in [to the office of the club secretary] and asked, ‘There’s no bonus schedule for the Europa League? You don’t get a bonus?’,” Green explained.

The impression he got from the blunt reply was that “it’s the second tier — we’re not interested in it.”

Considering that, we wonder what the players were told about the Conference League last summer? Although the tragedy is, our decline in standards since 2019 mean there probably was some kind of bonus in place for that competition…

In other news…

Chelsea have another wonderkid arriving this summer – young Dastan Satpaev is going straight into the first team squad, according to his current club’s owner.

Moises Caicedo has seen his form tail off recently, but it still having a good season overall, as the stats show.
