Today was a day just like any other for the boys from SW6.
Okay, apart from the now familiar "surprise Christmas visit' by the players to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital to cheer up ill kids, it was just another day.
Okay, apart from the social media frenzy surrounding Jose Mourinho's immediate future, it was just another day like any other.
Will tomorrow be just like any other day in SW6 - or the day after?
That's the problem assessing the machinations of Chelsea FC, it's always easy to assume that it's business as usual until you realise that it's not.
Back in early October, Chelsea took the highly unusual step of issuing a statement regarding Jose Mourinho's future.
The boys from SW6 had a dreadful start to their defence of the Premier League title and had just succumbed to a 3-1 home defeat to Southampton.
It's worth recounting exactly what was said in that short commentary.
"The club wants to make it clear that Jose continues to have our full support.
"As Jose has said himself, results have not been good enough and the team's performances must improve. However, we believe that we have the right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad with which to do it."
Two league wins against Aston Villa and Norwich City has kept the Blues afloat while the Champions League group matches have posed little difficulty and the Blues topped a potentially difficult group.
What if anything has changed since that statement on October 5?
1) Does the club still have Jose's full support?
2) Has the team's performance improved?
3) Has the season been turned around?
4) Do the club still believe that Jose is the right manager to do that?
5) Do the club still believe that the squad is good enough for him to turn the season around.
Much has been made of the meeting that club's top brass had yesterday, the day after a miserable 60 minute performance against Leicester City, the final 30 was such a contrast it's hard to think it was the same bunch of players part from the substitutes.
Given the circumstances of that statement, it would only be right and proper that a follow-up meeting, if not more than one would be needed to assess all those points once again.
Perhaps rather than take those points in numerical order, the logical sequence would be to first determine if the team's performance has improved?
In my opinion, winning their Champions League group and the manner in which they have done so, despite the odd dip in performance in some of the games, the players has responded admirably.
In the league, the Blues were unlucky to lose at West Ham and incredibly unlucky to lose at Stoke City.
Only the home matches against Liverpool and Bournemouth has the players let themselves down.
The draw at Spurs was a decent performance and a decent point against one of the team's of the season so far.
So, in my opinion the performances has improved since October 5. Not ideal, by any means, but an overall improvement.
Do the club now feel the squad is good enough?
Mourinho made a very interesting and revealing statement after the Leicester defeat. He posited that perhaps the squad wasn't as good as last season's title-winning endeavours might suggest and that his and his coaching staff extracted above level performances from them. And that maybe this season, they are showing their true form.
If the club accepts this, then a raid in the transfer market in January to arrest this situation would be the logical consequence and rather than castigate Mourinho, he should be given greater praise.
Do they believe Mourinho is the right man to oversee this transfer rebuild? How much of a say does he have in regard to players recruited? That vital relationship between manager and board, a verbal contract must be examined and the board must assess if the players recruited in recent seasons have been the right ones.
An amazing deal to sell David Luiz for £50 million was lauded as the best deal ever. Was that a one-off?
Only a few months ago, they gave Mourinho a new four-year contract, they must have felt then he was the man to manage the club for year ahead not, months.
The board must do some soul-searching of its own. It was right then, it should be right now.
The club stated they wanted to end the cycle of sacking managers, now is the time to put that policy into practice in the most difficult of circumstances.
I can't imagine when Mourinho was talking to the club about a return to SW6 from Real Madrid, that either side seriously considered the current predicament. That was a mistake they won't make again.
If they had, then a solution would already be acted upon.
Has the season been turned around? The league season is on the cusp of a revival - green shoots, are, in my opinion visible.
Focusing on domestic matches between now and the return of the Champions League gives the club ample time to accelerate the turnaround.
If the board assess the season so far and from October 5 in particular then the only right conclusion would be to say they still fully support Mourinho.
To that end, they have to decide how to end the speculation one and for all.
On Tuesday, the club held their meeting. They would have come to some conclusion - all that's left now is to see how they will make that known.
A simple statement in as many words as October 5 and of similar vein would suffice.
Tomorrow will be just like any other day in SW6.
Or will it?
