Ex France player, Marcel Desailly has come out to say that Mauricio Pochettino cannot guide Chelsea back to top-four. He recently revealed this despite the club’s massive spending spree, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if he wants Chelsea to finish top-four as a fan of the club, he does not see that happening this season with rivals getting stronger.
Marcel added that the people who keep investing in the club are aware that it will be a medium to long-term project.
His words, “I want Chelsea to finish top-four because I am a fan, but I don’t think it will happen when you look at their rivals right now,”
“The people who are invested in Chelsea know that this is a medium to long-term process before they can come back to top-four. It is a two to three-year project before getting back into the system. You need to build the players and increase their value, get them up to speed with the project. Chelsea are a team that need to build up again that winning mentality.”
“I think people should leave Todd Boehly alone, look at what he’s achieved. Whatever step he is making, he has elements that we don’t have. As fans we want results now. He’s an investor and of course he’s looking for money,”
“Some fans say if they don’t win straight away, they want him to go. I’m just happy he has invested. Your team has not performed, and it’s not easy to identify the right person in the dugout. The players knew Lampard would not be there the next season. We are now waiting to see how things will turn out under Boehly.”
