“It’s very hard for me to see good people leaving club” former Chelsea star slam co-owner Todd Boehly
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Since Todd Boehly became a co-owner of Chelsea in May, there has been a lot of personnel turnover, and Didier Drogba has urged the Blues to exhibit more “class.”
Didier Drogba has criticized Chelsea’s leadership for “lacking class.” The Blues star claimed that there was much more “class” at Stamford Bridge during the Roman Abramovich era in an unprecedented tirade directed at the club’s current leadership.
Roman Abramovich’s 19-year reign at Chelsea came to an end in May when a consortium managed by Todd Boehly completed a £4.25 billion buyout. With a lot of staff and player turnover during his first few months as a co-owner of Chelsea, Boehly has undoubtedly been busy.
In particular, Thomas Tuchel was controversially fired by the Blues last month and replaced by Graham Potter, but there have also been several changes to the coaching staff.
In the most recent months, the club lost its former chairman Bruce Buck, director and transfer chief Marina Granovskaia, technical and performance director Petr Cech, and international head of scouting Scott McLachlan. Last month, the director of communications Steve Atkins and the chief medical officer Paco Biosca both left.
Didier Drogba, a former Blues player, believes it has been “extremely hard” to see the team let go of some guys since Boehly took charge at Chelsea. He urged Boehly to bring the team back to the “principles and ideals” that existed under Abramovich.
He told Canal Plus, “I knew this club with a certain class during the Abramovich era, but today I find it missing.
“I find it really difficult to understand how they got rid of some individuals, such as the long-tenured physiotherapists. They ought to return to their original beliefs and values.”
