Yahoo Sports “Are we getting to a point” – Gary Lineker makes interesting claim about Chelsea ownership
Gary Lineker feels it could be getting to the point where people have to admit they were wrong about the Chelsea ownership.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over the club in May 2022 after Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government and much of the two plus years has been chaotic.
The ownership came in and made sweeping changes from top to bottom and there was a complete lack of stability both on and off the pitch.
Lineker thinks people could have wrong about Chelsea ownership
Chelsea are used to success and winning, which hasn’t happened over the past few years and everything at the club has drastically changed.
The new ownership have been heavily criticised for much of their tenure and mocked for the recruitment policy of signing younger players and offering really long contracts.
Some of the criticism has been fair and of course mistakes were going to be made and Chelsea are now on their fourth permanent manager since May 2022, whilst Gary Neville famously called them billion pound bottle jobs after losing last season’s Carabao Cup final.
However, after a couple of difficult years on and off the pitch things seem to be looking up under Enzo Maresca, with the Blues flying high in second place, just four points behind leaders Liverpool and their expensively assembled young squad are really hitting their stride.
Lineker feels we could be reaching a point where people might have to admit they were wrong about the ownership.

“Are we getting to a point now where we have to sit back and say Chelsea’s owners were right and we were wrong?,” he told The Rest Is Football.
It feels that after nearly two and a half years Chelsea are now at a stable point both on and off the pitch and have a really good chance of getting back into the Champions League and winning their first trophy under this ownership.
