Chelsea's new ownership group is throwing their money around like confetti
but it's not guaranteeing them success. The fact that Graham Potter was sacked after just 6 months in the job is crazy. I mean, what's the logic behind axing someone that quickly? They couldn't even get a decent run of results out of him with a team that's supposed to be capable of winning titles.
I'm not buying the "ambition got the better of them" narrative
. It sounds like Boehly and his co-owners are just trying to make a statement and prove they're a serious contender for the league title. Newsflash: throwing millions at transfers doesn't automatically equal success.
I do think it's fair to say that Potter was in over his head, though. I mean, who tries to overhaul an entire team in one transfer window?
It's like they thought they could just buy their way out of a bad season. The fact that Leicester City is already dealing with the aftermath of Brendan Rodgers' sacking just days later is a grim reminder of how volatile this league can be.
At the end of the day, Chelsea needs to find someone who can bring some stability and consistency to the team
. Anyone can make a few decent signings and get lucky for a season or two, but sustained success requires more than that.
