“He was the owner” – Petr Cech appears to take swipe at current Chelsea owners | OneFootball

Chelsea legend Petr Cech appears to me as if he’s taken a bit of a swipe towards the current owners at the club.

For me, there was certainly something that happened with Cech and the new owners. When they took over at the club, Cech was still employed there as a Technical Director. But he soon left, with not much reasoning given as to why he left.

I have a feeling, and it’s important to say this is just my opinion, that he might not have liked the direction that the club was heading in and probably didn’t get on too well with the new ownership. Either that or they just wanted to employ all their own people and move on anyone who was there before.

Either way, I don’t think it ended that well between the two, and this is why I think that recent words by Cech is possible a little dig towards them.

What Cech has said

The former Chelsea stopper has been speaking on a Podcast this week.

Čech on buying a club:

“You know, if you buy a football club, you run it the way you want, but you will be judged on how well you run it and how much you win!”

Čech on Roman Abramovich and the dressing room:

“You would never see him around the match day dressing room. He was the owner, and everyone respected it. We knew who the big boss was. Coaches were bosses of the dressing room.”
