Since we have started replacing said spine we have eased to two titles, won the Europa, League cup and got to the latter stages of a lot of other cups and narrowly missed out on another title.

And both those titles, the narrowly missed out on title and the Europa League squads still consisted of leaders.

Apart from JT, who have we lost from last season that could be considered a leader?
Admittedly he's a big one, but im not sure how much of what's happened this season he could/would have prevented, after all he was in the 15/16 squad.
using the seasons in your examples given........
Never heard of Didier Drogba?
Brana?
Ashley Cole?
Petr Cech?
Frank Lampard? I hear he had some success at the club.
From Jose's last title we had more leaders. Than we currently do. If they weren't always on the pitch the impact they had in the dressing room appears to have been underestimated.
None of those 5 were here last season bar Ivanovic for half of it.
We just need to sign the three players of AS Roma who scored yesterday against Barcelona and we will be all set for the new season.
How about aiming to win Premiership for three or four seasons consecutively and becoming a regular semi-finalist or finalist team at least in UEFA Champions League for a few seasonsmWhat do we need to do to make that a real possibility Noble Flash?

Sorry but i don't demand success year in year, in spite of being spoilt over the years, i'd just like a sense of direction. I can handle losing if it looked like the players or even man picking the team gave 2 fecks.
Agreed Flash, although what you're suggesting is what we all know, it's only the Chelsea board that can't see it.

sorry that wasn't meant to be directed at you.
I just think the only way we can take a "short term pain/long term gain" approach is if the pressure of instant success is removed.
Oh don’t worry, didn’t think it was aimed at me!
I agree with you, but it’s a long standing problem that looks unlikely to change. Made even worse by the fact that our transfers have been shocking, quick fix solutions have been really poor
We have been stuck in defensive mindset for so long that we don't believe we can win a game being offensive. So for me we
Need a purely attack minded manager given at least 5 years in the beginning and say let it rip

But it would be on the basis if we're not going to bankroll, no pressure for instant success.
We need a director of Sport in the Luis Campos mould, We also need the board, DoF and head coach to be on the same page; Whether is bringing through youth and tightening the purse strings then so be it.
I also feel we need a different style of football, We've went for short-term pragmatic coaches for too long.
I do agree with the OP in that it won't necessarily take a lot to change us back into serious challengers. We need to strengthen 2 main positions though - centre back, where neither Christensen nor Cahill are good enough (Christensen may be eventually), and centre midfield where neither Fabregas nor Bakayoko are good enough. We need two major players for those positions though - players who are able to bring real strength and leadership to the team.
We can certainly tweak the team in other areas where needed, but those 2 positions are the backbone of the side.
Yes LSTD wishing great success for a club I support is so shocking and infuriating for amazing fans like you and I am one of those fans who are badly affecting Chelsea FC.
*wishing success for a club I support is so shocking and infuriating and its fans like you who are so realistic and amazing.
