Talk recently has been about this clubs over-abundance of players and their need to sell and/or loan some of those very expensive players.

Truth is this club is currently run horribly. Chelsea has traditionally been a club that did purchase players they fully intended to loan out, so this isn’t new. The problem now is the owner, Todd Boehly, doesn’t know how to run a football club at all, much less one that’s the size of Chelsea. What he’s created now is a disgrace.

Boehly purchased the club in 2022 from Roman Abramovich. Say what you will about Abramovich, but he very successfully ran one of the most prestigious clubs in the world for 20 years. Chelsea fans were quite fortunate to have someone that competent at the helm for that long. And Chelsea fans will have to live off those memories for a long time, it appears, at this point.
