Chelsea’s fortunes have been on a decline since Boehly and Eghbali took over from Roman Abramovich. Despite significant spending on players, the club suffered a surprisingly poor 12th-placed finish in the top-flight last season. This season hasn’t seen an improvement either, with Chelsea only managing to win one of their first six Premier League matches, increasing the pressure on the team.
Gary Neville, in his podcast, criticized the Chelsea hierarchy after their loss to Villa at Stamford Bridge. He expressed confusion about the club’s actions and direction, stating his belief in Mauricio Pochettino but highlighting the challenges the manager faces in the current situation. Neville referred to the sense of chaos within the club and predicted potential changes in their approach and management, labeling the current situation as unsustainable and chaotic.
