In the race to the bottom, Chelsea are still ahead of Tottenham in the shambles shoot-out on most judges' cards.
Three managers, £600million spent on new players and nothing to show for it, boo is the colour and football is the shame at Stamford Bridge these days. Former Spurs messiah Mauricio Pochettino is waiting in the wings after reaching a verbal agreement to take over as head coach this summer. The escape clauses in his contract should make Colditz, Alcatraz and Shawshank look like picnics.
If Chelsea owner Todd Boehly didn't know it before, 12 months after he slipped into the cockpit following Roman Abramovich's evacuation, the penny should have dropped by now: Throwing money at the first team comes a distant third behind leadership and clear blue-sky thinking in the Premier League jungle.
