Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has said the club’s owners need to “stop and put a strategy in place” in an extraordinary assessment of their recruitment and decision making this season.
Silva was speaking after Chelsea’s exit from the Champions League on Tuesday and although the veteran Brazilian said the players must take “responsibility” for a dismal campaign, he lamented the fact that the club have sacked two managers while splurging over £600m in an unprecedented overhaul of the first-team squad.
