Following the takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital in 2022, the club has completely changed, and not for the better.

Chelsea have spent nearly £2bn on their squad, and are on the cusp of qualifying for the Champions League once in the last four seasons.

Fans are not happy with the ownership and staged a successful protest earlier this month ahead of the defeat against Manchester United.

Despite winning two trophies last season, Chelsea have taken a step backwards this season, and currently sit eighth in the Premier League.

Both fans and the media aren’t convinced by the so called project, and Chelsea once again face another critical summer.

They need to appoint a new head coach, and have got to add proven quality to the squad in several key positions.

Co-owner Behdad Eghbali has insisted the model will be tweaked, but Sherwood has slammed the ownership and claimed Chelsea have become a feeder club.

“For Chelsea fans to buy into the new project is going to be very difficult,” he told Sky Sports as quoted on X.com.

“They’re used to winning the biggest of trophies. They’re effectively a feeder club now; buy young players and let them go when they outgrow the club.”
