Chelsea caretaker manager Calum McFarlane has hit back at suggestions that the club is broken. This comes following a scathing assessment from Jamie Carragher, and fans have been reacting.
Dismissing the notion that his dressing room is fractured, McFarlane remained steadfast in his support of the players by insisting that they keep working hard to rectify the situation.
Calum added that having Levi Colwill and Reece James back is a big boost for the team’s defence.
His words, “The group are disappointed with the performance against Forest.
We reviewed it as well. I haven’t seen any rows or rifts or anything out of the ordinary. They are elite players who have got to this level by having the talent and the mentality and drive. It’s just about bringing it out.
You don’t get to play for this level of club or countries these guys play for if you don’t have that. It is just about supporting them and doing as much as we can as a staff and giving them everything they need to go out on the pitch and perform.”
On Colwill and Reece, “It’s great to have them back. Two top players. Elite players. England internationals. They will definitely help the group. In my opinion, he (Colwill) is one of the best centre backs in world football. The fact that he’s left-footed gives you a really nice balance in the team. He’s a great person, great character. He’s a winner, a leader. He’s very, very important for this football club. Levi is a complete footballer.”
WOW.
Chelsea Football Club is an English professional football club based in Fulham, West London. Founded in 1905, they play their home games at Stamford Bridge.
The club competes in the Premier League, the top division of English football. They won their first major honour, the League championship, in 1955. The club won the FA Cup for the first time in 1970, their first European honour, the Cup Winners’ Cup, in 1971, and became the third English club to win the Club World Cup in 2022.
On 7 May 2022, Chelsea confirmed that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. The group was later known as BlueCo.
The UK government approved the £4.25bn takeover, ending Abramovich’s 19-year ownership of the club. Bruce Buck, who served as chairman since 2003, was replaced by Boehly, while long-serving club director and de facto sporting director Marina Granovskaia left, as did Petr Čech from the role of technical and performance advisor.
