Chelsea have continued their role in world football as one of the busiest teams on the planet when it comes to transfers. In the space of 12 months they have signed 17 players for the first team as well as numerous youth additions.
Adding that to an already ageing, overpaid and underperforming squad has lead to major issues for the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital administration in their early days as owners. It has seen them receive widespread criticism and faith has been lost among fans.
After a £600million transfer splurge on players from 16-year-old Kendry Paez to 33-year-old Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the league record fee has been broken and numbers truly crunched. The 12th placed finish, three permanent managers and two interim bosses only amount to more embarrassment.
