One former Chelsea player who wore the captains armband during parts of his career at the club, has gone in a bit on the owners this week, and it’s not the first time.
Most Chelsea fans have been feeling some real positivity at the start of this season as Enzo Maresca and his players have been getting some decent results and putting in some better performances. Things certainly seem to be getting a bit better compared to last season, especially the start of last season.
But not everyone is feeling that positive vibe right now, and not everyone has a good feeling about the owners of Chelsea.
There has been a few ex-Chelsea players who have raised concerns before about the owners, but I personally believe that their ambition for the club has always been there, despite them making many other mistakes and not being great at all at the start of their reign. Some people think they are here solely to make profit. But I think it’s both, I think they have ambitions to bring Chelsea back to the top, because winning games and being successful BRINGS you profit. So they want both, and that’s fine. Every business needs to spin a profit, and football clubs are also businesses at the end of the day.
Leboeuf claims owners do not care
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf is still not happy and believes the owners will sell Cole Palmer.
Asked about the possibility of Palmer being sold by Chelsea, Leboeuf told Safest Casino Sites: “Well they bought him for a very good price. So I guess if they get an offer for £100 million, because it’s their business, the trading business.
“Chelsea will go against their business model if they don’t sell. Of course the fans are going to be upset but if they don’t sell him for £100 million when they bought him for like £45 million, that would be absolutely stupid of them to forgo their trading business system.
“So yes, they’re going to sell him because they don’t care [about the club]. They are there to make money, not there to get results. Results are for the fans, money are for the owners.
“It’s like the same thing with Manchester United, I guess Liverpool too, those boards they just want money.
“But at the same time, that would be stupid from Real Madrid [to buy Palmer]. They don’t need him. They have Jude Billingham. Where do you want to put Cole Palmer? On the bench?”
