Thank God there are other Chelsea fans and non-Chelsea fans who understand. Sometimes I wonder what’s worse, being a Chelsea fan or being around other Chelsea fans
The most likely scenario is a few more years of lackluster transfers and mid-table finishes, followed by FFP and point deductions. Todd Boehley pulls out and moves to U.S. Virgin Islands, never to be heard from again. Chelsea officially announces bankruptcy and falls down the leagues. Russia’s war in Ukraine ends with Abramovich acting as the chief negotiator of peace. He comes back to the UK, buys the League One Chelsea on the verge of disappearance and leads it back to Champions League within 5 years.
I'm a Liverpool fan, but goddamn, they did Tuchel dirty by getting rid of him, easily one of the most short-sighted decisions ever made. Abramovich was a political move, there was no need for that to happen and I knew that with Roman gone, things wouldn't be good for Chelsea. Boehly is a joke, I'm sorry that you guys are stuck with such a clueless nightmare.
Yes the Uk government is a joke for literally trying to destroy a football club. Anyway as much as you have tortured us i would rather Liverpool win the league then Arsenal and City doing a 4 peat.
I am a LFC fan as well but cfc bought most of their silverware by financial doping by a Russian with stolen money. cfc admitted that the club paid some of their best players under the table through offshore banks to hide the money so they wouldn't get caught. cfc admitted this! How many players/coaches/managers total were paid from offshore accounts to help buy silverware? Since 2011 they have has 15 managers. switched manager average of one every 9 months, was this in $$ calculation for ffp? Then cfc fans run around to everyone else's fan base boasting about silverware that was purchased.
@@sebastian-FX357Z1 I dont know if this had anything to do with the requirement to sell cfc but Abromovovich stole money from his business partners and after convicted only had to pay back a small percentage. Not a good look for owner of PL club
Boehly owns 10% of the club - he's a minority owner. Don't get be wrong, he's contributed to the dismantling of Chelsea FC as a giant in world football but he's far from alone. Jose E Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali are the heavyweight owners, both co-founders of Clearlake Capital which has 50% majority ownership. Walters and Weiss also own shares. 9 men sitting on the board of directors, not hard to look it up and find out who they all are. The point is Boehly is simply the face of Clearlake. He's acting Chairman and pocketing 20 million a year in earnings that he divides up with the rest of the board of directors. Eghbali is the one running things while using Boehly as the smokescreen. This consortium is driven by pure greed. They are not at Chelsea to win anything. They are there to make money. Clearlake is an investment company. That is what they're doing. Chelsea was just the unlucky bench that got bought out by them. Well Strasbourg too. Imagine going to a giant club and taking them down to a Brighton level of standards - it won't go over well. Mid table yet spending an extraordinary amount of money then looking at the pitch, there's nothing there. Imagine what anyone reading this can buy for the 1.1 billion they've spent. As for the idea that in 5 years these players will be world class and competing for titles well - this is delusional. Things don't work this way. Think logically - City for example are the benchmark. What is their model? Buying the best players in world football. Best coach. Only the best. How many teams win League titles and Champions League Cups with mid players? Answer is not many if any. They all need world class players who cost large sums of money in wages. Chelsea will not be buying any of these players as they've already spent to their max and they're obsessed with cutting wages. The ironic thing about them cutting their wage bill and bragging about what a great job they've done is they've got sections of the fanbase who parrot this as if it's a great feat and act like it's their money. Wonderful, a greedy investment corporation is saving millions to their pockets. In reality, although have a good pay structure is necessary, top players cost top wages so not all players should be lumped into this tight budget cap. This is the mid table mentality, where the template of a Brighton is being implemented at Chelsea. Oh btw, Marina and Petr Cech resigned, they were not fired. They resigned because they did not share the same vision of what Eghbali, Feliciano and Boehly wanted to do - which was transition into a mid table development club to sell of players and make money on their investment. Vivell left also because he saw first hand the vision that Clearlake had was a mistake and the organization structure on the football operations side was simply not serious. Vivell was the smartest employee hired by Clearlake to date - he knew to get out fast before they destroy his reputation along with everything else they've destroyed since taking over.
Thank you very for this information, these people don't understand that it's a consortium that is own the chelsea fc, I'm very disappointed to whoever who did this video because it shows very well they didn't do their research properly, no respect at all
I agree 💯 Only one solution in my mind and that’s to squeeze off the club owners financially and force these numbnuts to sell. It shouldn’t have left Roman’s ownership in the first place. Chelsea fans should sue the UK government for discrimination and governmental overreach 😠
Abramovish should never have owned Chelsea to begin with. Thats on the govwrnmwnt though, turn a blind eye to corruption and money launderih when it suits them.
Mourinho and Wenger both said a 24 man squad is the golden number. And if Beolhy really is in the dressing room doing team talks, it undermines the manager as the boss, and if they underperform, they know it’s the manager who’s going to be sacked
He didn’t fire Marina, she chose to leave because of her allegiance to Roman. Get that right! I am not the fan of Todd but that’s not accurate information.
Football fans better get used to rapacious American owners purchasing their favourite clubs. Those guys are not interested in winning trophies but with buying an asset that can later be sold for profit.
And that what happens when u mix politics. Abramovich was one of the best owners in PL. He built Chelsea from the ground up, he is responsible a lot to PL success around the world.
Getting Palmer was a fluke. Had nothing to do with any managerial smarts. The lad wanted to come to the club. We’re more than happy to have him. One of the few things this season to be proud of. Two hat-tricks in back to back games. God bless him 🙏💙
@@wiseowl179 amen to that, brother. I've been saying it since he got there. It took Abramovich a year to make Chelsea lift a trophy; Boehly does not love Chelsea, this is a business venture for him.
Brother todd bohely is not main culprit. The main culprit is eghbali this man is running the show behind the scenes he is the one who destroyed everything 😔
Facts the Uk media had been on Chelsea´s case for more than a decade and there is no way Abramovic would sell Chelsea to Americans.(and America definitely have nothing do with the war in Ukraine wink wink) They stole this club and most actions after they stole it was out of spite getting rid of all the old guard without proper replacements and after that what is the first major signing Mudryk a Ukrainian... definitely not political message there. Makes me sick.
Lol no amount of excuses can justify Todd Boehly treating Chelsea like Football Manager 2024. Whether you agree with Roman selling the club or not, the new owner still had the opportunity to put his stamp on the club and he didn't.
It’s amazing how he spend 1 billion pounds to turn a team that won the CL not too long ago into a midtable club. They really need to do a Documentary on this 😂
Haha imagine thinking they spent that much when they haven't it's all structured deals paid over years and years. Also funny how you think Todd is the man in charge when he literally only owns like 12% of the club
@@ClixCFChow is what was said untrue? Who in their right minds obtains a winning club with a winning manager and then just rips it to shreds within weeks of buying it? Lunatics… that’s who!
From what most Chelsea fans tell me: they think the biggest mistake was British government forcing Roman Abhramovich out and they see it as an unfair move.
Yes and did you know roman owed the uk governenment 2 billion in which the uk government were meant to send ukraine, guess what that money is still with the uk governemnt downright scums
3 months later chelsea look like they have some sort of consistency and now 7th aiming for europa league. Tbh if they reach 6 I would say thats a good season for them since they were 12th last season
Great video! So many people fail to realize it's Boehly who has been pulling the strings in all these cases, and deserves fingers pointed at him looking for gulprits.
The problem is boehly and clearlake see chelsea from the business side having no clue from the footballing side.Why they never decided to collaborate with tuchel from the beginning and take out all the staff was the start of the downfall.
I don't agree with a lot Boehly does but to say the man who spent over 1 billion pounds on a club which was en route to liquidation is destroying the club is quite silly he is the one man who actually stopped it being destroyed most of our fan base is understandably upset over the loss of Abramhovic but we need to stop being anti Boehly the man is actively trying his best to improve the club as best as one man can.
Get real. The man [Boehly] hasn’t shown his face at a game this season, not even at Christmas or New Year’s. Get him & his cohorts’ asses out of our club🤬
Boehly sucks but dont give marina any credit. she's the reason why they havent mounted a serious pl title challenge in years. nevermind the fact under roman leadership it was due for a massive rebuild. the last few years only saw trophies via hazard brilliance and tuchel/kante/rj/rudiger/mendy purple patch carrying a largely mediocre team. Marina didnt get many deals done and had chelsea swimming with deadwood players like barkley and drinkwater. she was meant to get van dijk, alisson and haaland but cheaped out or didnt get the deal done. The issue with chelsea is doing a massive clearout too quickly. should have kept a few pieces to maintain a spine like jorginho and rudiger. also signing no experienced players doesnt help. they need a few who can carry the weight. also a proper coach get back tuchel or at least stick with potter at the time.
@user-ct1cj6hs8d that was a horrid window. barkley was so bad he got flogged and giroud might have helped them win the ucl but he never helped them in the league to be competitive for the premier league title. her recruitment was horrid. that’s why chelsea fluked a ucl with kante and tuchel carrying them but when it comes to hitting 90pts they couldn’t because of the dire recruitment. she was meant to sign alisson, vvd, stones and several others which she fucked up those deals ended up with bakayoko and the like
NGL his performance was not otherworldly in euros as well, in the game against Germans, he could've given them a free penalty and had given away the game because of a handball..... Individual performance is not related to team's success or failure
Cucurella fan here after he played a phenomenal euros, not the players fault. Could be dressing room problems or just Chelsea needs to rebuild something new where new transfers won’t feel like frauds
Let’s be honest chelsea are back to where they were before Roman abramovic, a middle table club that may or may not challenge for a champions league spot
Boy this hasn’t age well did it. What he’s done is actually quite impressive Chelsea don’t need to buy players for the next 10 years. He’s got guys like Palmer caicedo etc on low weekly pay for the next 8 years or so.
Hey man first of all extremely good video. As a Chelsea fan for last 12 years. I must say well done. New owner of the club is arrogant idiot with money. 7 year contact with a lot of money for a kid? Ofc they will abuse it. I think Chelsea era of being average team in next 5 years is starting. He is not trying to make this team great,he is making average safehouse for teenagers. Why would you tryhard if you have 7y unbreakable contact with massive sallary? Exactly.. sad to see my team being nothing in next couple of years maybe even more,depends on next transfer windows which im scared to even look at.
Chelsea will still come back and win big. Despite being in the worst situation they have already reached a domestic cup final. You just can feel that winning aura from them still as a club and hopefully Todd and co will not let that winning aura go away from them.
From the start of the new ownership, it felt like they’re trying to scrub every ounce of Roman out of the club and rebrand it as something entirely else, with some kind of American sports twist. It ain’t working. At all, at all, at alllll😒
Watching this Chelsea team this season it doesn’t feel like the team I fell in love with. It feels like a completely different club and not in a good way. Boehly has destroyed the beautiful club that I love so much with his American sports vision coming into football
Dude said they fired Granovskaia. Thats how I know he's talking out his bum, she was never going to stick around. She walked away from the club, thats why she stuck around to "help" with summer signings. If you fire someone, why would they stay around to help with signings? That math just doesn't add. Typed a whole paragraph to explain why this is a terrible take, but he summed it up saying you can only blame Todd at the end. Nobody wants to talk about all the corruption in the club before the takeover just the results after. Imagine working for a company that sells to a new company just to find out the old CEO and board had a money laundering scheme based around your department. Who's to blame for the pending investigation?
WE WANT OUR RUSSIAN BACK. Get rid of the clown Bohley, Eghbali and the rest of the clowns Clearlake Capital. Bet these people still wonder why they kick the ball instead of throwing it. And who thought it was a good idea giving Bohley the job of transfers? the dude is clueless. Poor Roman Abramovich, built the club up, all that money, all that passion and time..... just for some clowns to ruin the club in 18 months
New subscriber here. As a Chelsea fan, it hurts my soul that they are suffering this bad. I want them to succeed but obviously, it will be a long time until they show any significant progress. They desperately need to get rid of Clearlake and Todd before doing anything else. He has absolutely no business sense when it comes to football.
Probably got no sense, period, if he’s co-ownership with Clearlake at only 12% and agreeing to be the front man. Stick the other two out here in the public eye and let us chew them a new butthole or two. We’re game 😈
Uprooting a successful model is madness incarnate. Moyes goes into United and says no i don't want to keep any of United's backroom staff I'll bring my own. Imagine if he hadnt got rid of 100s of years of domain experience in one go and stayed in the backround and took advice from those who knew the culture perfectly. Its how dynasties die. Apply all this to Boehley. Madness. I also think Graham Potter is managerial gold who had no chance at Chelsea because of you ....know.
3:18 yeah I would have accepted this comment last season, but cucurella really stepped up this season when he was fit! 4:01 you failed to mention that Tuchel had results we weren't convinced with though good he was! And constantly bashing the team that the lads weren't good enough. 4:20 ✅ couldn't have agreed less 4:26 ✅ 4:20 Disasi and caicedo are great players though put some respect on this guys. Nice clip informative but I ain't threading this route again.
Really good documetary man. I think you're a little harsh on Cucurella. He is not worth 60m, but he tries very hard, plays with passion and is improving. Subscribed. Well done again man!!
It's not just Boehly, Eggman Eghbali and Feliciano also contribute to the idea to turn chelsea into Brighton. In fact Eggman said in an interview last year that he doesn't care about winning trophies
As an Arsenal fan I'll say this. The man has not necessarily made bad manager hires and player purchases, but neither do I think those hires were truly informed by a clear football vision. Instead, like many - if not most - Americans, I think he relied too much on stats. The higher the cumulative stats, therefore, the more "ideal" to him. So when the numbers crumble, he impulsively moves on, more so with managers. I dare say Lampard's first season was the measure of what I TRULY believe to be his good managerial IQ. Had young players - forced by circumstances coz Chelsea couldn't buy - and he did extremely well. Don't be fooled by his problems at Everton. That kind of treatment can destroy a young mind, management-wise. And in fact even the stalwarts, depending... Just look what Man U did to Moyes. Took him years to recover. But he has/had an advantage coz, if he'd been Black or young, we probably woulda never heard of him again. Then Graham Potter - just have to look at his Brighton, and I still partially credit the club's sustained stability to him. Now Pochettino.... With the exception of Tuchel, who has been lucky as a big-money - hence, perhaps, transactional - manager, the rest are transformational kinda leaders. The latter require discretion and time, but none of them - even Tuchel - did. So again Boehly's disease is stats. He throws money at it readily when it seems good on paper, and he's just as quick to shut his wallet when things don't work in the real world. Only to break the bank again for yet another on-paper glitter; only to put the chains up again. And on and on, coz in his twisted mind, he's not the problem. Moral of this story: Chelsea should keep Pochettino at all costs and - much as I hate it - he'll deliver. But of course, he'll be gone when the season ends. Wish I had any more sympathies to spare!!!
@@chelsea21092 Hello. I'm just a fan, no expert, so Lampard must know what he's talking about. But from what I've seen in League, sometimes it's about how a team uses a player. Havertz is a good case in point, but so are the many, many players who have flopped at Man U. Maybe Arsenal saw something in him! I don't know, but maybe. Tho' that's nolonger relevant. Good luck with him!
This is the best overview I have seen , I realised they had spent a lot of money on second rate players but not quite as much as your video shows 😮 just goes to show money can’t buy success.
In fact, the man has really destroyed Chelsea. Look at the coach he has brought to Chelsea. A coach that has Messi, Nyarma, and Mbaape but still fails.
Absolute chaos, this video has nailed it. Here I am again, looking at my team hovering almost all season between 9th and 12th place. Todd should take full responsibility for this, but he won't. He's looking at the financial aspect only - which is why he shouldn't be anywhere near footballing decisions. Poch is unlikely to have the impact needed, even though he's a good manager. No manager is going to be able to fix the problem of poor player signings, so I can't see any resurgence within the next 5 years. Even if they develop all these young expensive players, once they reach a viable ROI market price, they will be sold. Todd Bollox is playing a share-index game based on spreadsheets of player value forecasts, so it's not surprising that he's created so much chaos. We're now the laughing stock of the PL, let alone our reputation in Europe. Worse could still happen if FFP deducts enough points, we could end up relegated. 😮
Probably laundering money through the club, to boot. That seems to be the ‘in’ thing with these rich nuts nowadays. Not happy unless they’re corrupting something or someone.
Just a gentle reminder to the Chelsea fans that have fallen to the "pure profit amortization" propaganda - 1 billion over 8 years is 125m a year. So, for the next 8 years we'll be giving other clubs $125m of our money. It's as if we signed Lukaku every season until 2032, meaning we won't have any money for other signings going forward. That's why the club were so intent on dumping out Mount, and now Maatsen, Chalobah and Gallagher.
Somewhere in Saudi Arabia, Neymar is looking at this Chelsea team, thinking about his former PSG captain, and saying, "Free my boy. Wait, I'm Neymar! I'll give him a call."
This vid is an accurate summary of exactly whats going on at Chelsea. Yes, man, poch is adding to the problem. At this point id wish they would sell up and go
Not mentioned is the successful youth policy Chelsea operated under Abramovich that turned out a huge number of players. Sure many were not good enough to play in a top Premier League side. Some were. What has happened to this policy? Has it also been dumped by Boehly? Has the genius Boehly decided that it is better to buy expensive, inexperienced players than it is to pick them out of the u-23 and u-21 teams for nothing?
I grew up with Chelsea being mid table or worse. I've seen them relegated three times, so this is not new to me. I can accept this easier than the younger fans that only know success. We had a good run but for me we're now back to normal. What I can't accept is new Owners that don't have a clue about football or sport in this country taking over our club and ruining it in a matter of months and spending a billion to do it. Especially after all the work that was done to finally bring success by Ken Bates in the nineties and Abramovich following.
Toad boehly in my opinion isn't as bad of an owner as people think. He has given managers the power of how to build their squad . I believe he wants to give the manager a chance but results are important for this clubs ,overalls theres alot factors.
i think the bigget issue is they dont have an yleaders or players with years of experience in the prem outside of sterling. You could argue thiago silva should be a leader, but he just seems to hate playing there. You look at Liverpool, having someone like milner there was instrumental looking at what people like Trent said about his accountability of the players, so many new players, so many inexperienced players, no one to guide them
Thiago Silva is fed up with doing Pochettino’s job of managing the squad. He was happy playing under TT. It’s been degrading for a superb player like Thiago to be relegated to this kind of rubbish. No one to guide them? What the hell is the coaching staff there for? Just the pay checks? Pochettino’s pathetic. No incentive to win. The lads are on their own.
I don't think it is the management to blame. We had a lot of goalscoring opportunities in most of the games that players messed up .Had they utilised them, Chelsea position on the log table could have been in the top 6
As a chelsea fan from zola' era until the day this stupid "mothurfocker" destroyed my love. Nowadays, when you look at the squad : there is no real captain, no controller in midfield, no surprise on both wings, no shooter in the attack.
This thing happening to Chelsea should serve as a huge warning/lesson to other clubs that will get acquired eventually.
Very very true. This approach of spending loads does not work and other clubs need to learn from Chelsea for sure.
How many owners spend 1 billion of their own money to stop a club from liquidation cause I dont see many

Lmao Boehly owns less than 13% of Chelsea. Hardly the man in charge
Boehly owns 10% of the club - he's a minority owner. Don't get be wrong, he's contributed to the dismantling of Chelsea FC as a giant in world football but he's far from alone. Jose E Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali are the heavyweight owners, both co-founders of Clearlake Capital which has 50% majority ownership. Walters and Weiss also own shares. 9 men sitting on the board of directors, not hard to look it up and find out who they all are.
The point is Boehly is simply the face of Clearlake. He's acting Chairman and pocketing 20 million a year in earnings that he divides up with the rest of the board of directors.
Eghbali is the one running things while using Boehly as the smokescreen.
This consortium is driven by pure greed. They are not at Chelsea to win anything. They are there to make money. Clearlake is an investment company. That is what they're doing. Chelsea was just the unlucky bench that got bought out by them. Well Strasbourg too.
Imagine going to a giant club and taking them down to a Brighton level of standards - it won't go over well. Mid table yet spending an extraordinary amount of money then looking at the pitch, there's nothing there. Imagine what anyone reading this can buy for the 1.1 billion they've spent.

They resigned because they did not share the same vision of what Eghbali, Feliciano and Boehly wanted to do - which was transition into a mid table development club to sell of players and make money on their investment. Vivell left also because he saw first hand the vision that Clearlake had was a mistake and the organization structure on the football operations side was simply not serious. Vivell was the smartest employee hired by Clearlake to date - he knew to get out fast before they destroy his reputation along with everything else they've destroyed since taking over.
Thank you very for this information, these people don't understand that it's a consortium that is own the chelsea fc, I'm very disappointed to whoever who did this video because it shows very well they didn't do their research properly, no respect at all
I agree 💯
Only one solution in my mind and that’s to squeeze off the club owners financially and force these numbnuts to sell. It shouldn’t have left Roman’s ownership in the first place. Chelsea fans should sue the UK government for discrimination and governmental overreach 😠
Title should say "How the UK government destroyed ChelseaFC Forever"
U should rephrase it as how putin destroyed chelsea. (Roman, supporters of putin)
How the Russian government more like
Abramovish should never have owned Chelsea to begin with. Thats on the govwrnmwnt though, turn a blind eye to corruption and money launderih when it suits them.
How the Russian government destroyed Chelsea, and how Chelsea fans easily swallow Russian propaganda.
A lot of fact checking needed, Marina didn’t get fired, She chose to leave to the club.
Mourinho and Wenger both said a 24 man squad is the golden number. And if Beolhy really is in the dressing room doing team talks, it undermines the manager as the boss, and if they underperform, they know it’s the manager who’s going to be sacked
What an awesome video and channel man, I hope you get the recognition you deserve
Thank you I appreciate it my man 🙏🏾
He didn’t fire Marina, she chose to leave because of her allegiance to Roman. Get that right! I am not the fan of Todd but that’s not accurate information.
Football fans better get used to rapacious American owners purchasing their favourite clubs. Those guys are not interested in winning trophies but with buying an asset that can later be sold for profit.
I feel bad for Chelsea that their club gets outright destroyed by their politicians.
And that what happens when u mix politics. Abramovich was one of the best owners in PL. He built Chelsea from the ground up, he is responsible a lot to PL success around the world.
The only good move made in the Boehly era is getting rid of Mount and adding Palmer. What a massive upgrade
Getting Palmer was a fluke. Had nothing to do with any managerial smarts. The lad wanted to come to the club. We’re more than happy to have him. One of the few things this season to be proud of. Two hat-tricks in back to back games. God bless him 🙏💙
@@wiseowl179 well then, Boehly out!
@@marionavarro630 yes… boehly & co have got to go.
@@wiseowl179 amen to that, brother. I've been saying it since he got there. It took Abramovich a year to make Chelsea lift a trophy; Boehly does not love Chelsea, this is a business venture for him.
Brother todd bohely is not main culprit. The main culprit is eghbali this man is running the show behind the scenes he is the one who destroyed everything 😔
Todd Boehly didn't destroy Chelsea the UK government did by kicking off Roman because of their hypocrisy!
Definitely but boehly had an opportunity to save Chelsea but instead he made stupid decisions that led to the downfall of such a great club
Facts the Uk media had been on Chelsea´s case for more than a decade and there is no way Abramovic would sell Chelsea to Americans.(and America definitely have nothing do with the war in Ukraine wink wink)
They stole this club and most actions after they stole it was out of spite getting rid of all the old guard without proper replacements and after that what is the first major signing Mudryk a Ukrainian... definitely not political message there. Makes me sick.
Lol no amount of excuses can justify Todd Boehly treating Chelsea like Football Manager 2024. Whether you agree with Roman selling the club or not, the new owner still had the opportunity to put his stamp on the club and he didn't.
Best comment ever.!!
It’s amazing how he spend 1 billion pounds to turn a team that won the CL not too long ago into a midtable club. They really need to do a Documentary on this 😂
Another one that doesnt know about chelsea owners
Haha imagine thinking they spent that much when they haven't it's all structured deals paid over years and years. Also funny how you think Todd is the man in charge when he literally only owns like 12% of the club

He's basically had nothing to do with the club since Jan last year. Eghbali is and always has been the power at the club
From what most Chelsea fans tell me: they think the biggest mistake was British government forcing Roman Abhramovich out and they see it as an unfair move.
Yes and did you know roman owed the uk governenment 2 billion in which the uk government were meant to send ukraine, guess what that money is still with the uk governemnt downright scums
Roman did nothing wrong 😢

3 months later chelsea look like they have some sort of consistency and now 7th aiming for europa league. Tbh if they reach 6 I would say thats a good season for them since they were 12th last season
well this video aged well
Great video!
So many people fail to realize it's Boehly who has been pulling the strings in all these cases, and deserves fingers pointed at him looking for gulprits.
He didn't even sign Ronaldo when he expressed interest but then didn't pursue it which shows he doesn't what the fuck he's doing.
The problem is boehly and clearlake see chelsea from the business side having no clue from the footballing side.Why they never decided to collaborate with tuchel from the beginning and take out all the staff was the start of the downfall.
Not for long. When fans quit attending and buying merch, they’re gonna get a big shock.
I don't agree with a lot Boehly does but to say the man who spent over 1 billion pounds on a club which was en route to liquidation is destroying the club is quite silly he is the one man who actually stopped it being destroyed most of our fan base is understandably upset over the loss of Abramhovic but we need to stop being anti Boehly the man is actively trying his best to improve the club as best as one man can.
Get real. The man [Boehly] hasn’t shown his face at a game this season, not even at Christmas or New Year’s. Get him & his cohorts’ asses out of our club🤬

Axel Disaster😂
Where can we sign the petition for “Boehly out” ?
Boehly sucks but dont give marina any credit. she's the reason why they havent mounted a serious pl title challenge in years. nevermind the fact under roman leadership it was due for a massive rebuild. the last few years only saw trophies via hazard brilliance and tuchel/kante/rj/rudiger/mendy purple patch carrying a largely mediocre team.
Marina didnt get many deals done and had chelsea swimming with deadwood players like barkley and drinkwater. she was meant to get van dijk, alisson and haaland but cheaped out or didnt get the deal done. The issue with chelsea is doing a massive clearout too quickly. should have kept a few pieces to maintain a spine like jorginho and rudiger. also signing no experienced players doesnt help. they need a few who can carry the weight. also a proper coach get back tuchel or at least stick with potter at the time.
@user-ct1cj6hs8d that was a horrid window. barkley was so bad he got flogged and giroud might have helped them win the ucl but he never helped them in the league to be competitive for the premier league title. her recruitment was horrid. that’s why chelsea fluked a ucl with kante and tuchel carrying them but when it comes to hitting 90pts they couldn’t because of the dire recruitment. she was meant to sign alisson, vvd, stones and several others which she fucked up those deals ended up with bakayoko and the like
He’s got no football ⚽️ knowledge he’s just destroy everything
Who?
You mean Boris Johnson 🤡
You called cucurella useless and he responded with a euro title😮
He was poor last season, but let's hope he improves this season with the Euros
NGL his performance was not otherworldly in euros as well, in the game against Germans, he could've given them a free penalty and had given away the game because of a handball..... Individual performance is not related to team's success or failure
as a Liverpool fan, thank you Todd.
Cucurella fan here after he played a phenomenal euros, not the players fault. Could be dressing room problems or just Chelsea needs to rebuild something new where new transfers won’t feel like frauds
Let’s be honest chelsea are back to where they were before Roman abramovic, a middle table club that may or may not challenge for a champions league spot
can someone please send this to Todd Bholey???
Boy this hasn’t age well did it. What he’s done is actually quite impressive Chelsea don’t need to buy players for the next 10 years.
He’s got guys like Palmer caicedo etc on low weekly pay for the next 8 years or so.
Well good thing Pulisic is in Milan now. Maybe Todd should have seen how Arsenal got out of the hole considering their owner is also from Los Angeles.
Hey man first of all extremely good video.
As a Chelsea fan for last 12 years. I must say well done. New owner of the club is arrogant idiot with money. 7 year contact with a lot of money for a kid? Ofc they will abuse it. I think Chelsea era of being average team in next 5 years is starting. He is not trying to make this team great,he is making average safehouse for teenagers. Why would you tryhard if you have 7y unbreakable contact with massive sallary? Exactly.. sad to see my team being nothing in next couple of years maybe even more,depends on next transfer windows which im scared to even look at.
Or… the owners get run out of the club😏
Rest In Peace 13:41
I feel sad for Manutd fans,really their club is the only one beeing destroyed forever

Chelsea will still come back and win big. Despite being in the worst situation they have already reached a domestic cup final. You just can feel that winning aura from them still as a club and hopefully Todd and co will not let that winning aura go away from them.
As soon as Roman was kicked out, I knew the club was finished. They just didn’t want to see us winning smh
From the start of the new ownership, it felt like they’re trying to scrub every ounce of Roman out of the club and rebrand it as something entirely else, with some kind of American sports twist. It ain’t working. At all, at all, at alllll😒
Watching this Chelsea team this season it doesn’t feel like the team I fell in love with. It feels like a completely different club and not in a good way. Boehly has destroyed the beautiful club that I love so much with his American sports vision coming into football
I know 😢 Sadly, I gotta go watch other teams playing to remind myself how matches can and should be played 😞
Dude said they fired Granovskaia. Thats how I know he's talking out his bum, she was never going to stick around. She walked away from the club, thats why she stuck around to "help" with summer signings. If you fire someone, why would they stay around to help with signings? That math just doesn't add. Typed a whole paragraph to explain why this is a terrible take, but he summed it up saying you can only blame Todd at the end. Nobody wants to talk about all the corruption in the club before the takeover just the results after. Imagine working for a company that sells to a new company just to find out the old CEO and board had a money laundering scheme based around your department. Who's to blame for the pending investigation?
WE WANT OUR RUSSIAN BACK. Get rid of the clown Bohley, Eghbali and the rest of the clowns Clearlake Capital. Bet these people still wonder why they kick the ball instead of throwing it. And who thought it was a good idea giving Bohley the job of transfers? the dude is clueless. Poor Roman Abramovich, built the club up, all that money, all that passion and time..... just for some clowns to ruin the club in 18 months
I think Chelsea fans ought to sue the UK government.
They are owners,who think there way is the only way,but.all they are doing is running the club into the ground, they ain't got a clue,
New subscriber here. As a Chelsea fan, it hurts my soul that they are suffering this bad. I want them to succeed but obviously, it will be a long time until they show any significant progress. They desperately need to get rid of Clearlake and Todd before doing anything else. He has absolutely no business sense when it comes to football.
Probably got no sense, period, if he’s co-ownership with Clearlake at only 12% and agreeing to be the front man. Stick the other two out here in the public eye and let us chew them a new butthole or two. We’re game 😈
Uprooting a successful model is madness incarnate.
Moyes goes into United and says no i don't want to keep any of United's backroom staff I'll bring my own.
Imagine if he hadnt got rid of 100s of years of domain experience in one go and stayed in the backround and took advice from those who knew the culture perfectly.
Its how dynasties die.
Apply all this to Boehley.
Madness.
I also think Graham Potter is managerial gold who had no chance at Chelsea because of you ....know.
excellent video. all of the questions I had as to what made Todd such a bad owner have been answered. cheers 🙌
3:18 yeah I would have accepted this comment last season, but cucurella really stepped up this season when he was fit!
4:01 you failed to mention that Tuchel had results we weren't convinced with though good he was! And constantly bashing the team that the lads weren't good enough.
4:20 ✅ couldn't have agreed less
4:26 ✅
4:20 Disasi and caicedo are great players though put some respect on this guys.
Nice clip informative but I ain't threading this route again.
Really good documetary man. I think you're a little harsh on Cucurella. He is not worth 60m, but he tries very hard, plays with passion and is improving. Subscribed. Well done again man!!
It's not just Boehly, Eggman Eghbali and Feliciano also contribute to the idea to turn chelsea into Brighton. In fact Eggman said in an interview last year that he doesn't care about winning trophies
As an Arsenal fan I'll say this. The man has not necessarily made bad manager hires and player purchases, but neither do I think those hires were truly informed by a clear football vision. Instead, like many - if not most - Americans, I think he relied too much on stats. The higher the cumulative stats, therefore, the more "ideal" to him. So when the numbers crumble, he impulsively moves on, more so with managers. I dare say Lampard's first season was the measure of what I TRULY believe to be his good managerial IQ. Had young players - forced by circumstances coz Chelsea couldn't buy - and he did extremely well. Don't be fooled by his problems at Everton. That kind of treatment can destroy a young mind, management-wise. And in fact even the stalwarts, depending... Just look what Man U did to Moyes. Took him years to recover. But he has/had an advantage coz, if he'd been Black or young, we probably woulda never heard of him again. Then Graham Potter - just have to look at his Brighton, and I still partially credit the club's sustained stability to him. Now Pochettino.... With the exception of Tuchel, who has been lucky as a big-money - hence, perhaps, transactional - manager, the rest are transformational kinda leaders. The latter require discretion and time, but none of them - even Tuchel - did. So again Boehly's disease is stats. He throws money at it readily when it seems good on paper, and he's just as quick to shut his wallet when things don't work in the real world. Only to break the bank again for yet another on-paper glitter; only to put the chains up again. And on and on, coz in his twisted mind, he's not the problem. Moral of this story: Chelsea should keep Pochettino at all costs and - much as I hate it - he'll deliver. But of course, he'll be gone when the season ends. Wish I had any more sympathies to spare!!!
Hi...But at least you dodged a bullet by not signing Mudrych...he's truly dreadful and as Frank Lampard said "he just doesnt understand football"
@@chelsea21092 Hello. I'm just a fan, no expert, so Lampard must know what he's talking about. But from what I've seen in League, sometimes it's about how a team uses a player. Havertz is a good case in point, but so are the many, many players who have flopped at Man U. Maybe Arsenal saw something in him! I don't know, but maybe. Tho' that's nolonger relevant. Good luck with him!
@@chelsea21092Frank said that? 🤭 I missed hearing that. Good on Frank for being honest👍

Thank you 🙏
Carry on the great work Todd. 😂
How the turn tables
Absolute chaos, this video has nailed it. Here I am again, looking at my team hovering almost all season between 9th and 12th place. Todd should take full responsibility for this, but he won't. He's looking at the financial aspect only - which is why he shouldn't be anywhere near footballing decisions. Poch is unlikely to have the impact needed, even though he's a good manager. No manager is going to be able to fix the problem of poor player signings, so I can't see any resurgence within the next 5 years.
Even if they develop all these young expensive players, once they reach a viable ROI market price, they will be sold. Todd Bollox is playing a share-index game based on spreadsheets of player value forecasts, so it's not surprising that he's created so much chaos. We're now the laughing stock of the PL, let alone our reputation in Europe. Worse could still happen if FFP deducts enough points, we could end up relegated. 😮
Probably laundering money through the club, to boot. That seems to be the ‘in’ thing with these rich nuts nowadays. Not happy unless they’re corrupting something or someone.
@@wiseowl179 Yep, I wouldn't put it past him.

Where the update vid😂
Just a gentle reminder to the Chelsea fans that have fallen to the "pure profit amortization" propaganda - 1 billion over 8 years is 125m a year. So, for the next 8 years we'll be giving other clubs $125m of our money. It's as if we signed Lukaku every season until 2032, meaning we won't have any money for other signings going forward. That's why the club were so intent on dumping out Mount, and now Maatsen, Chalobah and Gallagher.
A gentle reminder or a gentle kick?😒
Yo, man really said "Axel Disaster" 😂😂

Don't put all of the blame on Boehly, Eghbali is the one giving all the ideas for his stupid decisions.
Then Eghbali better be prepared to be bankrupted soon. Fans won’t tolerate this bs.
spot on... every word.
Not mentioned is the successful youth policy Chelsea operated under Abramovich that turned out a huge number of players. Sure many were not good enough to play in a top Premier League side. Some were. What has happened to this policy? Has it also been dumped by Boehly? Has the genius Boehly decided that it is better to buy expensive, inexperienced players than it is to pick them out of the u-23 and u-21 teams for nothing?
I grew up with Chelsea being mid table or worse. I've seen them relegated three times, so this is not new to me. I can accept this easier than the younger fans that only know success. We had a good run but for me we're now back to normal. What I can't accept is new Owners that don't have a clue about football or sport in this country taking over our club and ruining it in a matter of months and spending a billion to do it. Especially after all the work that was done to finally bring success by Ken Bates in the nineties and Abramovich following.

Worst Owners in Sports history honestly
Toad boehly in my opinion isn't as bad of an owner as people think. He has given managers the power of how to build their squad . I believe he wants to give the manager a chance but results are important for this clubs ,overalls theres alot factors.
i think the bigget issue is they dont have an yleaders or players with years of experience in the prem outside of sterling. You could argue thiago silva should be a leader, but he just seems to hate playing there. You look at Liverpool, having someone like milner there was instrumental looking at what people like Trent said about his accountability of the players, so many new players, so many inexperienced players, no one to guide them
Thiago Silva is fed up with doing Pochettino’s job of managing the squad. He was happy playing under TT. It’s been degrading for a superb player like Thiago to be relegated to this kind of rubbish.
No one to guide them? What the hell is the coaching staff there for? Just the pay checks? Pochettino’s pathetic. No incentive to win. The lads are on their own.
Crazy for the dude with 12% ownership gets dragged when all he’s done is pump money into the club to help
Axel Disaster is so on point 😂
I don't think it is the management to blame. We had a lot of goalscoring opportunities in most of the games that players messed up .Had they utilised them, Chelsea position on the log table could have been in the top 6
How I wish you post (send) this video to Chelsea management.
As a chelsea fan from zola' era until the day this stupid "mothurfocker" destroyed my love. Nowadays, when you look at the squad : there is no real captain, no controller in midfield, no surprise on both wings, no shooter in the attack.
