Chelsea finds itself in a rare position with one match remaining in the Women's Super League (WSL) and no trophies to show for a disappointing season. The club is set to finish its worst campaign since 2018-19, ending a six-year dominance in the league.

After an impressive previous season, where the Blues clinched all three domestic trophies, this year's struggles are stark. They faced a setback in the FA Cup semi-final, losing to Manchester City, the newly crowned WSL champions, and were eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal.

Manager Sonia Bompastor, who enjoyed a successful debut season, now faces mounting pressure. Despite fan frustrations, sources indicate her position remains secure, especially after she signed a new contract until 2030. However, the club's lack of depth has been a recurring theme in her comments. Key players like Lauren James and Sam Kerr battled injuries, while the squad's summer signings struggled to make an impact.

Notably, the departure of Paul Green, the former head of women's football, added to the turmoil. Bompastor's frustrations became evident following significant losses, including a 5-1 defeat against Manchester City, where she questioned squad depth and club decisions.

Despite the setbacks, Bompastor remains focused on the future, acknowledging the need for a transitional phase. Chelsea is reportedly eyeing Khadija Shaw from Manchester City in the upcoming transfer window, aiming to revamp the squad and reclaim their title ambitions. "This season has shown that... I'm not happy with the fact I can't help the team more than I have this season," she stated, emphasizing the need for improvement as they prepare to fight for the league next year.
