Chelsea endured a disappointing season last year, leading to a change in manager. Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement, Mauricio Pochettino, has undertaken a significant number of transfers, but The Guardian has suggested that the chaos in Chelsea’s recruitment this summer could spell another disappointing season.
The article notes that Pochettino has only won one of the six games he has managed since taking over, with that solitary victory coming against Club América, who are currently ninth in the Mexican league, making them a relative underdog. Against stronger opposition, the team has fallen short, even losing to League Two side Wrexham.
The team’s performance has been chaotic. In recent seasons, the club has spent an exorbitant amount of money on acquiring 28 players, but the rebuilding process has been far from smooth. This summer, the club added 9 new players to the squad, spending a further £160 million, yet they have failed to secure the players they desired in many key positions.
Furthermore, in order to circumvent the Financial Fair Play rules, Chelsea has sold several of their academy players. This could leave them with a potential problem in the future as they will no longer have these assets. In fact, the team had begun to show signs of improvement towards the end of last season, but they still dismissed Potter. Pochettino’s arrival has not yielded a solution for the Blues, resulting in a return to the doldrums. Their future for the new season remains shrouded in uncertainty.
