dude's building his team the same way I do in FIFA

Moral of this video is don't sell your club to an American billionaire 😂!

This thing happening to Chelsea should serve as a huge warning/lesson to other clubs that will get acquired eventually.

Todd Boehly might be the worst owner in football right now. 😢

7:10 "If Arsenal want him he must be good". That's a perfect summation of Todd Boehly's time at Chelsea 😂😂😂

Bohley isn’t the only one to blame actually. Eghbali and Clearlake are actually the ones to blame because they have the final say, Bohley is just the face of the club, that doesn’t mean he isn’t part to blame but putting all the blame on him is wrong.

There was a time where a team’s management carried the club in their hearts. Nowadays it’s dollar signs and “managers” who haven’t got a clue.

Todd Boehly didn't destroy Chelsea the UK government did by kicking off Roman because of their hypocrisy!

Boelhy's dead eyed smile is my favorite.

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.

As a true Chels fan from Chelsea, I want to say that this is the best video I have seen explaining our downfall so far. Intelligent, knowledgeable and spot on mate. Absolutely fantastic, well done. I pray that the future for our club will be at least more bright. UTC 👏 🔵

Todd Boehly thought managing football in real life was like in Football Manager sign everyone possible 💀

More like: How Britain destroyed Chelsea fc

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.

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.

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.

Title should say "How the UK government destroyed ChelseaFC Forever"

It's impossible to do a rebuild at modern Chelsea because the hire and fire mentality is ingrained into the club and fans. They have no patience.

Agreed, Boehly's hubris & arrogance totally wrecked CFC from the get go.

Axel Disaster😂

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

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 😂

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.

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

I feel bad for Chelsea that their club gets outright destroyed by their politicians.

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 😔

He’s got no football ⚽️ knowledge he’s just destroy everything

The only good move made in the Boehly era is getting rid of Mount and adding Palmer. What a massive upgrade

can someone please send this to Todd Bholey???

What an awesome video and channel man, I hope you get the recognition you deserve

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

Where can we sign the petition for “Boehly out” ?

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.

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.

as a Liverpool fan, thank you Todd.

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.

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.

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.

"I admit it. Chelsea is a Banter Club" - youngkippa

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

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

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.

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.

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,

As soon as Roman was kicked out, I knew the club was finished. They just didn’t want to see us winning smh

keep up the great work, super quality 👍

Glad that I found this channel. Thanks mate for all the videos. Underrated ❤

Boehly forgot to sack himself.

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.

Worst Owners in Sports history honestly

Toad 🐸 Bobly is a great owner and we should BoehLeave in this club

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

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.

Yo, man really said "Axel Disaster" 😂😂

excellent video. all of the questions I had as to what made Todd such a bad owner have been answered. cheers 🙌

This video will not age 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.

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?

That’s what happens when the owner of a football club calls the sport soccer.

Axel Disaster is so on point 😂

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 fucking boris Johnson blood

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.

Really well made video 👏

Fantastic video detailing the billion pound bottle job

Carry on the great work Todd. 😂

God I hate Tod Boehly guy so much. Dude replaced one of the best coaches in Tuchel with Graham Potter. And then went on to buy a shit load of hyper stars. This is what happens when guys with no understanding of football think that it is just another business. The only hope is Poch salvages this situation over 2-3 years buying decent talents. P.S - I can't wrap my head around the fact that we are seeing Cucurella for Chelsea when we have seen players like Ben Chillwell and Ashley Cole in that position -_-

Don't put all of the blame on Boehly, Eghbali is the one giving all the ideas for his stupid decisions.

Woah, forever? Let’s not be too hasty

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 American and DC resident, thank God he’s not an NFL owner

How I wish you post (send) this video to Chelsea management.

This is very well presented 👊🏾

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.

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.

Boehly came in with a bullying attitude and that was my first expression of how he dealt with management and senior players show a lack of respect for Chelsea's fc team and fans, and just like typical Americans most of them view the rest of the world as no one exists except them, and Boehly shows his arrogance and lack of compassion for the beautiful game and fans base, he should of be advised before getting into a new culture of sports, the EPL is not the NFL NHL NBL or NBA it's English professional league Mr. Boehly and your consortium needs to have more respect for the fans that build Chelsea and its offsprings of the new generation and more to come.

My beloved chelsea aren’t a football club now.. They’re a soccer club now, Good job Clearlake, Good job todd boehly.

Now they got worst scenario; POSSIBLE RELEGATION TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION. As we know, UEFA already charged Chelsea and they paid for €10 million but this would lead to another case, which is one of the biggest FFP breaches from 2012-2019. Premier League and FA now running an investigation based on what's been reported from Cyprus Confidential file. If Chelsea was found guilty; relegation, point reduction will be one of the worst scenario for the club.

Boehly is just the front man… it’s Clear Lake that have the majority steak in the club, they call the shots.

Great video essay. Please do more. Like and sub earned.

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

Boehly is Chelsea Woodward.

Rest In Peace 13:41

Very good video.

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.

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. 😮

Complete decimation of a club with absolutely no sight of any improvement!

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.

Good documentary I really feel ashamed of my club right now 😢

11:45 RIP bro

That's 😂 a Cia agent with a mission to destroy the Russian man's legacy in Chelsea 😂.

spot on... every word.

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!!!

12:12 axel Desaster 😂😂😂😂

anyone solely blaming uncle todd for whats happening to chelsea is ignorant cuz its not just one man. chelsea are run by a consortium with about 4 different owners. if you dont know who Behdad Eghbali or Jose E Feliciano is you dont know what you are talking about with Chelsea's new ownership.

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?

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.

This video is not entirely true. It is true that Boehly is the face of new ownership but it is consortium led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss. Behdad Eghbali from Clearlake Capital is another important decision maker. Also, only the first transfer window was led by owner. Next window onwards, sporting directions were in place and most of the signings were led by sporting directions (Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley).

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
