Gary Neville criticism misplaced amid Todd Boehly's key Chelsea World Cup transfer mission

Gary Neville has not been short of critique for Chelsea's new ownership since the summer, and following the Blues' recent form, the ex-Manchester United defender has reflected once again. The Salford City owner has repeated his claims of Todd Boehly playing 'Football Manager' and suggested that Chelsea's previous regime were more efficient in the transfer window.

"I got battered by Chelsea fans at the start of the season, but I'm not surprised by what's happening to Chelsea," said Neville.

"This has got all the hallmarks of a project that will take time. If you look at what happened at the start of the season, there's no doubt that was handled with crassness, the way the transfer window was handled. That transfer window could take Chelsea a couple of years to recover from if they don't get it right.
