How, you wonder, did the chat between Chelsea’s directors go after their 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on 2 September? Perhaps there had been some thought that by signing 28 players over the past three transfer windows they had destabilised the club, made the life of their manager harder. Could that be possible?
Then maybe somebody asked how many Forest had signed in the same period. “You’re not going to believe this,” some lackey perhaps replied. “They signed 43.” To which the only possible conclusion for Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali is that they should have signed more players.
