Now looking at their match record, this is the 7th match in all competitions that they have gone without a win after last winning against Dortmund in the last 16 of the Champions League in early March.
This is obviously really very bad and about Todd's problem he did have a big enough share of the fall, but on the other hand he was also involved in Chelsea because of internal political problems first and indeed for now Chelsea is really very bad and what they have only problems everywhere, both internally from club management and their current game performance.
The first mistake Todd Boehly did was to sack Thomas Tuchel and some backroom staff were also affected. I will not also blame Todd for investing close to $500m on transfers and signings because he taught he was doing the best thing for the club. He was thinking that good players can always get a good results. Now he knows he made some wrong decisions because sometimes that's not the case. Chelsea's only redemption will come from only the Champions League and I doubt if they can win that trophy. But sometimes luck contributes to the outcome of sporting events so everything is possible.
Graham Potter is the worst loser. He didn't know that Brighton was the lucky team this season. It is a team that is destined to shine this season but he left for a better opportunity that has turned out to be a nightmare.
It seems to me that this is just Abramovich's money laundering and Tuchel was fired apparently because he could have prevented the purchase of such expensive and mostly meaningless players.
That's probably why Potter was chosen. He was fine with everything and didn't protest against any management decisions. In the end he was the one to blame and now they've found Lampard to pin all the defeats on him in order to shift attention away from the failures of management.
Nothing has changed since Potter's departure, which means that the problems were more global than just a mistake with the coach and transfers. Lampard's arrival hasn't really changed anything, maybe even Chelsea is worse now than when Potter was coaching.
