If I was one of the Chelsea players whose contract is up, I would want to know who is coming in to replace Emma Hayes.
It will be interesting to see how early they make that decision and when it is communicated to them and the rest of us - once the dressing room finds out then everyone will find out, there is no secrets in football.
If Chelsea don't announce the decision soon then they will run the risk of potentially losing players because they are unsure of what the future at the club looks like.
