At the time the post was deleted, it was at 136k.”Besides the hundreds of thousands of likes, the comment also amassed over 324 comments, 1,900 reposts, and 316 shares before it was taken down alongside the post.Chelsea FC Women is facing criticism for not honoring their word.

Pathetic…” a netizen wrote.“I really wonder about the thought process here. Did the social media team really have no idea what this would become? If not, who TF hired them?” another person asked.“This is CRAZY. BOYCOTT @chelseafcw,” a fan added.“Wow… Chelsea took down this post because they did not like the most popular comment. Don't ever lecture the world on ethics or community again after actively censoring a call for peace and freedom. Hypocrites,” an individual commented.The football club has yet to address the controversy and accusation.Chelsea FC Women is having a complicated yearIn early 2026, Chelsea FC Women was thrown out of the Women’s Super League (WSL) race, including getting defeated by Manchester City by 5-1 and Arsenal by 2-0. They were the first major defeats in fifteen years and a dark spot in head coach Sonia Bompastor’s 104-match-winning career.In February, the club announced the exit of former Head of Women’s Football Paul Green, ending his 13-year stint. In the wake of the departure, an insider told The Athletic:“It's like watching a masterpiece being torn apart.”The decision had a severe impact on the players. Captain Millie Bright took to Instagram and wrote she was “absolutely devastated.” Another senior player called it “shocking” and “disgraceful.” Several other team members, including Erin Cuthbert, Sam Kerr, Lauren James, Guro Reiten, Catarina Macario, and Aggie Beever-Jones, shared similar sentiments via social media.An official email to The Athletic explained that Paul Green’s responsibilities will be taken over and divided among other senior executives, including co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley and Chelsea FC Women’s CEO Aki Mandhar.At the time of his exit, Green, who joined in 2013 as an assistant manager, was not only in charge of day-to-day operations but also recruitment, squad selection and planning, and contract negotiations. In fact, under his leadership, Chelsea FC Women won seven WSL titles.Parent company BlueCo declined to comment to the press. They purchased the club in 2024 for $273 million. The shift was implemented to allow Chelsea FC Women to operate as a “self-sustaining entity” while helping the men’s team to meet Premier League profits and sustainability rules.Despite the 2026 season losses and Paul Green’s ouster, head coach Sonia Bompastor had her contract extended until 2030, which surprised both fans and insiders. Meanwhile, sources cite that the poor performance was attributed to squad unavailability, frequent injuries, and the competitive levelling of the WSL and had no connection to Bompastor’s coaching skills or Green’s exit.In October 2025, Chelsea Women’s legendary former manager Emma Hayes told The Guardian:“The marker for me wasn't the trophies; it was that I could leave a team that could keep on winning. Sonia (Bompastor) is doing an amazing job, and Paul Green, who deserves so much credit for what he's done. (It is) why Chelsea are still at the top.”Hayes managed the team between 2012 and 2024. Today, she is the head of the USA Women’s national football team.Besides Green, Chelsea FC Women also let go of midfielder Oriane Jean-Francois in January for a record fee of $536,000 to Aston Villa.
