What do we think?
Judging from the responses of supporters, that was certainly not a welcomed announcement from the club after having had little to complain about since Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival in December (per BBC).
Sitting seventh in the Premier League and currently and trailing a Champions League spot by just five points (per BBC), it may be better for supporters to keep their focus on that rather than the club’s new social media account.
