Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly did not hold back in his recent dressing room pep talk to the underperforming squad, reportedly calling their form “embarrassing.”
Despite investing £600 million ($745m) on fresh faces across the last two transfer windows, the Blues have suffered 12 defeats in the Premier League this season and are currently in the bottom half of the table.
Boehly’s message was clear: current standards are unacceptable.
He entered the dressing room after a 2-1 defeat to Brighton, allowing interim manager Frank Lampard to finish his post-match review before getting involved.
Boehly pointed out that the squad still has a chance to salvage their campaign by staging a comeback against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals.
However, tensions are high both on and off the pitch, with Boehly coming under fire from disgruntled supporters and tensions building in west London.
