Chelsea fans not pleased with Josh Hart’s message about a ‘Championship season’
New York Knicks swingman Josh Hart might not have realised what he wished for Chelsea to accomplish in the 2026-27 Premier League season. Hart has claimed he’s been a huge Chelsea fan since the early 2010s, joining ‘The Blues’ and publicly rooting for them in recent years despite their roughest stretch in over 20 years during this time.
Chelsea fans were not pleased with NBA player Josh Hart's message regarding a "Championship season" for Chelsea FC. Hart, a long-time supporter of the London-based club, mistakenly believed that fans would interpret his wish as Chelsea aiming for a higher league status. However, the term "Championship" was taken to mean that Chelsea should be relegated to the second tier of English football, the EFL Championship.
Fans quickly pointed out the alternate meaning of Hart's post, with some expressing disappointment and others finding the situation amusing. Despite the confusion, Hart has been a devoted Chelsea fan since the early 2010s, even joining the team and publicly rallying for them during their recent struggles.
