One thing we've learned from this takeover is how good Abramovich was for Chelsea and how much of a impact a good owner has
He's a billionaire. Hes not used to people telling him he doesn't know everything. He's used to running his mouth with no consequences because of his power.
That's weird to me. I can't understand how he became so rich.
Because most rich people know how to get the actual smart people to do the hard work, while they sit back, get the credit and the money.
I can't remember the exact story. But some rich guy said that as a business man; "you should be worried when you are the smartest person in the room making the decisions."
As a billionaire your super power isn't intelligence. Most of them aren't that intelligent.
Their super power is networking, being able to sell an idea, or convince people to work for them, knowing the right people in the right places.
Todd Lasso might actually be crazy, if he thinks he's an expert at everything.
self destructive
He worked for that power
@@keystone6162 most rich people nowadays are born rich.
Plus he’s an American. Entitled and arrogant.
Todd: if we buy everyone that’s available other teams can’t strengthen 😂
😂😂😂
I want him to buy Lord Maguire.
Mydrik 😂
That was the plan in a nutshell 😂
Deplete the market and they have nowhere to fish from 😂😂😂😂 a very smart idea. Unfortunately those players have to be properly coached to be in sync with the rest of the team.
I agree with Mario. They need to form a proper strategy.
When Thiago Silva said that, some idiots said he was wrong but he was right.
Where did Thiago said that? I'm asking cuz I would like to see it as he is a top CB for me.
who said Thiago was wrong? you?
But you see, they have a proper strategy. Nobody ever said anything about it actually working.
The Chelsea team bus ran a red light on the way back from Arsenal, and now has more points than lampard 😂
And has same number of trophies this season just as Arsenal.
Boehly and Eghbali couldn't have botched things up more if they had deliberately set out to sabotage the team. Everything they've done has been a disaster and yet they still think they can stick with the same model.
They're showing the football world what not to do. Literally blueprint for new would be owners coming in.
Todd Lasso!!😂😂😂 that should be the name fans and media call him!!😂😂😂
Todd Boehly has an NFL/NBA/MLB type mindset approach to the EPL which does not equate the same to european football. They dont do trades and players dont always pick to sign because of "the market" the team is in. Football in Europe is a continental competition where you have a multitude of talent pools. He's assuming he's buying the best, yet it's a team sport that requires your team to play a different style of opponent that can outwit you week after week unlike the American sports leagues where people study players consistently to match the same game plan.
Blah blah!! He owns this company. You don’t do-own it by being a fan!! It’s amazing the ridiculous mentality of English people
@@HusseinDohaneither do you not me. He is becoming a joke and the worst ever owner of 'Chelsea soccer company' if I have to put it in his words
Gab looks like he tried to cool off in a dirty lake then put his suit back on.
Shaka's point cannot be overstated: Clubs will exploit Chelsea this summer. They'll have 10+ players they'll want to offload. Squad players like Pulisic, Zakaria, Loftus-Cheek, Kepa will go for pennies, if at all. Clubs will privately admit that some players are probably worth their market valuation but still haggle to pay less. And what if players on the "keep" list actually want to go and hold out to do so? Total mess.
Yes, that is true but at the end of the day if normality is brought back to the dressing room then it's a price we are willing to pay. Plus a lot of our players don't have high value anyways so if we sell lots of them the accumulated revenue would still be substantial
Zakaria is on loan
@@josephnjenga7179 shows how much the guy that made this comment knows lol
Doubt it. People need to strengthen their squads too. They may go for 85% of their value but I think Chelsea will accept that. Plus there are about 8 academy players that could be sold for pure profit.
Pulisic to Newcastle?
Mario is highly experienced and intelligent in footballing knowledge. He literally bombarded and debunked Gab's point in "how Poch should have taken over now to feel out the players", Mario said poch is most likely watching after the team everyday and or when in training, which is almost obvious if he has a contract signed or verbal agreement. Also Mario single-handedly just told them how to fix a squad of talented footballers, just to come up with a plan or strategy and continue building towards that. Mario is so straight forward compare to Gab's rambling.
Gab is sh*t to me. Doesn't have a clue what he says😂
I think Mario should be employed in the club in some capacity. He’s bang on! It’s not about being right, but try a workable strategy.
@@andreChels which club?
@@couturecriminal8330 lol.. meant Chelsea of course.
Yeah Gab sometimes shows that he's an expert in journalism rather than the sport. Burley and Shaka are so ridiculously negative too, nothing constructive, nothing helpful... nothing more than my drunk uncles would be telling me
Because Poch is smart and doesn't want to take over a dead team that has nothing to play for. Why would he come in now?
It's funny how there's always billionaires and managers think team building is about buying all the stars or most expensive players, like 1 + 1 always equals 2 in sports, when there's so many failed "super teams" in the past to show them it's not the case.
The problem is Todd Boehly wants to be in charge of footballing decisions and is refusing to allow those employed for that task to do their job. That is why Marina, Cech and Tuchel left and believe me, I think that is why Pochettino is yet to be appointed...it's really an absolute mess by Todd Boehly and the board
100%
its really odd that the owners face is the press more than the players or even coach. says a lot
I speak for all Chelsea fans when I say we love Podd Poehly and hope he remains with us for decades to come!
And please keep Lampard 😍😍😍
Please keep on playing exactly what you are doing now! We would love to see Chelsea playing in League 1 by 2025-2026 season! 👏😆👍
Yes keep the goat manger lamps they will win treble next season 😅
Todd Boehly is gonna introduce Chelsea to the Championship market
This is what happens when y’all invite American billionaires to buy teams in sports they know very little about as a pet project. Billionaires think they can turn a profit with **anything**, whether they know what they need to know or not. It’s the unlimited arrogance for me.
there are other *American Billionaires running very successful clubs across Europe.
Exactly. They made their money just as evil as the Arabs or anyone else and are ignorant asf. At least Arabs live and feed on football. They understand the game unlike the egotistical twats from yankland. Even their fanbase is the worst. I mean imagine thinking pulishit is good enough to start for chelsea and pushing a narrative of anti-american bias. Recall his dad's words and shenanigans? Worst type of ignorance to invite into football.
Liverpool and Arsenal seem to be doing okay. It's not simply because he is American. Todd has tried to involve himself too much rather than appointing ppl who know what they are doing.
@@matthewstein5854 americans should just stay away from football and stick to their basketball.
@@matthewstein5854 arsenal has there first decent season in how long although still not gonna win anything and all of a sudden the doing great lol
Thanks Mario you we understand
CHELSEA won’t see European Football for a WHILLLLLLE(make sure I put 6 L there their current losing streak) Under this Clown Owner Todd
Lampard wants to be the next Agent 007. You will put 7 L there soon.
We all listen to American Owner that doesn't know what to do and promising us dreams.
Working for arsenal
@Junior Adult No, bro, the man doesn't know what to do. He needs to stop talking and do something.
@Andrew S I wish he would, but he would not. The man likes to talk a lot. His business partners have to kick him out or say something to him. His a joke now. He needs to leave my club alone.
We need to hire mario to motivate our so call players please 🙏
When you're rich it means you don't need to listen to anyone or ask anyone's advice. Well ... the downside is.. when you make a mistake, it's gonna be a big one.
Todd Boehly is a genius ---Simon Jordan
Tod Bohley is Like Ted Lasso
Chelsea might find themselves in a situation where they have to sell the players they want to keep and keep the players they want to get rid off.
Not to smart are you skippy
Based on what? Ridiculous comment 😂
Odd that people don't grasp this. It is entirely plausible that they will want to keep Sterling for example. He's 27. But he's the highest earner in the club. Maybe they cash out now prior to him being 30. Losing his wages helps with FFP. If they keep him then surely other players they'd want to keep would have to go to maintain his wages. Loftus Cheek for example? What do you do with Lukaku if you want to offload his salary but Inter don't want to buy him for his 40mil value? Dilema after dilema.
@@danwaters4139players being human, at a 12th placed club, who are going to fail FFP, who haven't a permanent manager signed, yet, and have a clown running the club.
@danwaters4139 actually, he is spot on, and you clearly haven't understood what he said, or your stupid. Simple example, Chelsea should keep Challabh, he cost nothing, a good prospect who will be on lower wages and will be OK with being the 4th choice and rotating. However, they are going to sell him and keep Kudibali, who they will struggle to sell, so end up with a worse all round team.
Is it possible that he could be thinking of moving the entire club elsewhere? Not unheard of in North American sports.
Think the unthinkable. Chelsea becoming a new club in the MLS.
That was a long time for Craig to construct a semi-coherent response on the spot to something he clearly didn't understand.
He's unprofessional, when he doesn't talk when it's someone else's chance too, he goes on phone. When the camera is on him, he immediately stops 😁
craig 'when I'm ready' burley 😂
Lampard is like, " Please somebody, anybody, make it stop!" The dude cannot buy a win! even a draw!😂😂
Even teams in the EFL, are like, " No we are good!" whenever they see Lampard team approaching! The Chelsea job has put in the final nail in Lampard's coaching career! He's done coaching!
"Long term" isn't £600m in one season though 😏
this is no more than a learning curve for him i ain't no fan but he's a smart business man Chelsea will come good again when they get a decent manager and centre forward
They should at least make Poch official for next season and have him attend games and trainings. That way he can see their skill sets better and who will fit his style. Chelsea fans also need to realize this is a 3 year transition,
What did the comment mean "he has done this journey before in a 'different sport', slow down" where has Boehly done this before? All i can see is that he had 20% of the LA Dodgers 🤷♀️ no experienced person guts the hierarchy in the first few months in an industry they've never worked in. Incompetence!
Gab's wrong, there's plenty of legitimate reasons Poch wouldn't want to take over this season. And to Mario's point, Poch can build a strategy from his home office based on what he sees in the remaining games/recent form, and iron out the squad in June. Serious football doesn't start until mid-August.
If Poch comes now ESPN themselves will critics him if he doesn't start winning
Gab, Shaka, and Craig talking like they can coach a team. Am waiting for one of them to take a coaching job. They are always slamming former players who are coaches now.
That's why they don't coach. Because they know they may not be great at it.
They are pundits, which they think they might be better at. And guess what pundits do?
They offer their opinions and they don't just slam former players who coach now.
They don't slam Pep, Xavi, Klopp, Zidane and many others, now do they?
Who do they slam?
Former players who are crappy coaches?
Slamming Lampard who has shown that he doesn't deserve the chances he keeps getting is correct. His record is appalling
@@keystone6162 they have no status like the greats like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard.
Shaka and Craig have played football so they no more than you would think I guess. Gab is just a journalist that's just goes on and on.
@@couturecriminal8330 are you saying they can't criticize him because he had a better playing career?
That makes no sense bro.
If that's the case, then who do you think qualifies to be a pundit, so they can criticize anyone?
Here's an example; Neville, great player, crappy manager. He stopped coaching and went back to punditry, he must have realized that management isn't for him. Someone needs to tell Frank that. Nothing to be ashamed of.
It’s interesting how they won’t say a word against Lampard.
You know a club is screwed when the owners are delusional.
You know things are bad when I agree with anything Craig Burley states, but he was spot on in this piece. Boehly and Eghbali don’t know what they’re doing and I’m afraid they are too prideful to admit it. Mario Melchiot made some great points. Marcotti is always top notch. Depressing state of affairs at Chelsea.
I get what Todd was talking. It is different when you buy a right back from France and from Portugal. He is talking about the amazement of the sports . They are just being harsh .
Todd's logic: if we buy all arsenal's transfer target, we can win it all.
Arsenal won nothing...
Like how Arsenal won everything 😅 please
Bohelys problem is, he thought he could just throw money at it and success will come instantly.
Roman threw money at it but in the right way hence why Chelsea have a Long trophy list under him.
ERGO
5x Prem titles
5x FA Cups
3x League cups
2x Champions leagues
2 x Europa leagues
2 x community sheilds
1 x world club cup
1 x UEFA super cup
21 Trophies
Finally got some history, WE have to stop singing that Song now
Soon it will be nothing but History again, as usual
What’s the right way to throw money then?? What a ridiculous mentality the British have??
I don't know why people complain. It's his club, he can do whatever he wants.
What else can he tell?
Everyone knows what everyone else has to do.
Mario you're the best we move too fast this is not American football this is soccer our owner need to slow down he needs to know his mistakes
They are screwed, Signing players to 8 year deals, when you have new coach coming in who maybe does not want some of those players they have signed to these idiotic contracts.
Chelsea have a lot of really good young players.
But they also have too many full time pros and few opportunities for the kids.
I bet there are some real bargains in their U-23s.
Gab never seems happy. Someone get him a j
Poch would be crazy to touch Chelsea with a barge pole but not as crazy as those convinced he's coming.
It's a new beginning for chelsea....we have lost a lot...first the transfer ban ,then Roman Abramovich gets booted out........we have to be patient now...emotions are all over the place
Far too many English clubs are owned by Americans. English football isn't a franchise like MLS. I'd be very concerned about the future of English football.
It's amazing how these dudes blow up even the most innocuous of statements by Boehly - not every sound bite by Todd Boehly is a story fellas lol
Gab we prefer he come in when the season is over, cause he come in and lose a game with these same squad it’s going to be Toxic
I love MY club, this isn’t us. COYB💙
Chelsea have been a money club for years. This year has been comically bad, but since 2003 the Chelsea ethos has been "throw unearned money at players and managers until we win stuff". This is absolutely the Chelsea way, this is absolutely your club.
Everything his touches & every decision he made from 1st day until now in Chelsea has turned into manure. He is just like a mice 🐁 who wants to repair a cheese. Chelsea FC destroyed in such a short time. I don't my club that i am supported for the passed 35 years. Todd & his partners OUT!
"Mice who wants to repair cheese"! Cant say I've ever heard that expression lol but I do agree with you for the most part.
This is so funny.. as a united fan I can understand mate.. yanks are more horrifying than oil money
How many more players can Chelsea possibly ruin? How many more careers and young talents? Stole felix n enzo from united and basically made them annonymous and stole mudryk from Arsenal and made him something that now Arsenal fans thank god that they didn't go for him...
Where's the soul of football?
The PL ruined the soul of football. Watch them raid Napoli, luckily their owner is greedy so that might put them off. The money these clubs have allows the top clubs to just discard talents, hopefully someone like Osimhen isn't stupid enough to throw away his future.
The soul of football is hanging out with your common sense. Lost long ago.
Lol stole felix and Enzo from united, united ruined players left and right in the last 10 years
@@garyanderton Osimhen will have so many options to go to that there is absolutely no way he is going to Chelsea.
@@tsvetelin6556 If not Chelsea, United might ruin him. The pressure at these clubs is toxic, in particular when the media gets involved.
You can be rich & successful at your forte. But not everything is your forte in life.
Can we start a go fund me for gab to get some AirPods Pro’s ? Haha
haha
Gab is to punditry what Boehly is to owning. Just another dumb, out of place American thinking he knows what he's talking about. Yes, I'm American, and yes, I'm embarrassed. I think Gab needs to buy a Jitterbug.
Abramovich had to sell the team on the fly and we expect Chelsea to keep the same continuity and to remain JUST as competitive the next season? Come on. Its one season. Of course Chelsea struggled this season.
Best thing for Tod B to do, as a leader, is to accept that he has made some mistakes.. “in our effort to commit and invest in the future .. the investment strategy may have been too rushed.. we will need to be more targeted to enable success .. working with our new manager and talented experts at CFC.. we, as a group and organisation, will get the strategy right and bring success again to this proud and deserving club”… great leaders lose their ego and show authenticity and vulnerability to be effective… and to win hearts and minds.. that’s needed here because TB HAS LOST CREDIBILITY in the world of football and it’s in his, the investors and the fans best interest to let experts to their job.. I don’t think I’ve heard anything from Man City ownership.. they win.. btw I’m an Gunners fan but I’m just giving an objective perspective
My observation is that he never talked about football, he only talks about business opportunities in football, it's really sad for us Chelsea fans.
Probably because he knows sod all about football.
The problem for football is IF Poch goes to Chelsea and does turn it around people like Boehly, and a few commentators, will tell the world that he knew what he was doing all along.
Well then everyone was overreacting then since he has already setup a good sporting board to handle things before winter transfer window.
I hate this big club talk. People do realise theirs 20 teams in the league any one can win it and anyone can get relegated. Clubs come and go if you have the same big 6 every year it becomes boring
Boehly is the most horrible owner in the PL.
U never heard of Mike Ashley or the Glaziers then
Todd Boehly doesn’t know what he is talking about. But what is Marcotti’s excuse? Did he ever imagine that the reason they haven’t gotten Poch in yet is that they are god-awful and he has them over a barrel in negotiations?
They remind me of Laurel and Hardy!
This man has set Chelsea back at least three years maybe more,Champions league football is going to be harder and harder with teams such as Newcastle now becoming very competitive without CLF players will no longer find Chelsea attractive good job Boehly what a mess.
Why do so many Italians support Chelsea
Espn go buy a club and run it. Let the man run his club.
It's a bad luck to have Todd as a Chelsea owner cause that man looks indifferent with what the fans are going trough right now.
Look like no good coach wanna to work for this American owners! And no players want to play for Chelsea next season except those who mistakenly signed a long contract.
Lol while as a Chelsea fan, I feel everything that could go wrong did go wrong.... I ultimately believe Boehly and the org will figure it out. Laugh now and point out all the mistakes all you want, but a guy doesn't become a billionaire by dumb luck. Those people are relentless and motivated by ego. Long story short, it's easy to laugh at everything he says... but I have a feeling he may have the last laugh.
I'll be back to this video next year
Chelsea owner say anything and media have problem. If he said everything is same den this people will say it's not same .
Why did I see Craig Burly again and again? He don't know anything might be he's very close to Todd Boehly.
Look at ole Gab and his earrings get you
Give the guy a break
The word DELUSIONAL has been replaced by the name BOEHLY in my dictionary. Dude is lost, way way way out of touch with reality.
Porch might be waiting for Madrid
What about someone get Frank to spark again, he won one in 20 game and 2 draw, that not good enough
The club has ALREADY STATED that they won’t sack Lampard until the end of the season. That’s why no new manager is coming in yet. Jesus Christ, this is their job and the average fan knows more than these guys. Mario the only one talking any sense.
Which ever way you look at it your the biggest laughing stock in world football roman leaving Chelsea will have the same impact as fergie leaving United...Blue circus will go on and on and on
@@paulk8275 🤣🤣🤣 you wish. This season is a one off. Teething problems of the new owners and the huge changes we have gone through. We will be back at the top soon enough.
Everyone happy for Chelsea downfalls but just wait
Cause when other teams are struggling your all over it you lot are finished pottochino disappointed spurs never came in his heart was else where but as usual TOD foney the blue clown flashed the cash
Ted the destroyer.
Yes destroyer of Chelsea 😂
It's easy to make money in the US. He thinks it's the same game.
Really left a bad taste in the mouth the way Tuchel was sacked. Yet not a peep from Chelsea fans at the time.
Hes a billionaire from Richiskztan in the US.
FYI they just bought a new young player. Kendry Paez.. not that he's a bad player, but, at this point, I don't know anymore what are their plans going forward?? Good youngsters can be sold for big money when they play football regularly.. but youngsters at Chelsea won't play many games, because they want to win NOW.. they buy young players, but they will actually play senior players all the time..
Of course he doesnt know what hes doing hes come from small (comparatively) national sports to the biggest of global sports and hes making a right pigs ear of it. The stadium going fans are already turning on them and some not so subtle or even nice songs are starting to appear in small pockets but before long these disparaging songs will be stafium wide and unavoidable.
When you meet a rich person, you can just tell how stupid they are after you witness one purchase.
Boehly thinks he can tank the club just to get a first round pick in the Premier League draft lottery.
In 12 months time are we gonna have Neil warnock saving chelsea from relegation
Poch really? Spurs ex-coach....
🚮
These kinda things haven't worked out between the elite six
This is so overblowing what he said without considering the context of the environment. He's explaining things to American business people who may not all quite know how things work in football compared to American sports. Just look at Wrexham with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney being so amazed by the concept of relegation and promotion. He's talking to that kind of people, not to people born and bred in a football environment.
They arent getting relegated
Mario is clearly totally clueless about how Lampard is as a manager or he is not willing to admit it.
Lampard is very very far from being a Premier League quality manager and it is not a shock that an already struggling team will struggle even more with Lampard as their manager.
I suspect that Chelsea will end the season with the 39 points they have now.
He will not get a job in championship as well.
@@shubhammunda4758
I agree with you in that.
At least it is VERY unlikely that he will.
Bloke is completely clueless
I think toddy got be concerned with UEFA and Fifa for financial fair play it’s criminal the amount of money spent and no champions league football
Boehly is using the team to bet that man is only in for business
Chelsea right now
EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES

Chelsea need to spend more money 😂
