Richard Keys slams Chelsea owner Todd Boehly as Jose Mourinho theory shared

Todd Boehly has been criticised by former Sky Sports presenter Richard kKeys for his handling of the managerial role at Chelsea after sacking Graham Potter at the weekend.

On Sunday, Potter was sacked after just seven months in charge, with just three Premier League wins in the entirety of 2023 leading to a decision being made. Keys, who now presents football coverage on Qatari network beIN Sports, said that Boehly had 'created a shambles' and, despite valid criticisms of Potter, he felt sorry for the former Brighton boss.

Chelsea spent over £300 million in the January transfer market, a spree which coincided with Potter's worst run of form at Chelsea and Keys has linked the spending to what he described as a 'shambles'. This also comes after the sacking of Champions League winning manager Thomas Tuchel in September, following a failure to agree on their respective long-term visions.
