Chelsea is in a awful situation, and its high time for effective control. The current spree of acquisitions mirrors reckless spending, not deliberate team development. Look at Mason Mount. An extraordinary talent considering an exit. Manchester United' 40 million proposal was declined, but Chelsea's 70 million price indicates a likely departure.
How can Chelsea stop this slump? They should aim for a unified team, not just hoard elite players. That's the tough reality they need to digest. Quickly please
I think it's mainly because the owner wanted to put his name on the paper and make these type of changes so that he would be considered a good owner, which wasn't really a terrible decision on the short term because it made him look like he was someone who agreed to spend a lot of money on players and that's what an owner has to do, that's the only thing about them, it is not like the owner is making decisions on which players to get, he just pays the money and the team staff ends up getting the players.
That is why this was not a bad move, it was actually good move for him to be liked by the fans. However, the result did not come but it is quite alright because owner wasn't seen as the reason why the results were bad, and that is still good for him.
