We got new owners and they have completely destroyed the club in 18 months.
We spent over a billion pounds and our squad is absolutely shocking.
We sold all of our senior players, leaving us with just Silva and Sterling as our experienced starters. Silva is almost forty and Sterling is absolutely not the player you want to lead a younger group.
We overpaid on literally every player we bought, and I think Palmer is the only player we could get more than half our money back on if we were to sell him.
It’s as if the owners think all you have to do is buy young players, and then when they play a certain amount of minutes they will be world class.
We spent fortunes on players who had barely kicked a ball in senior football, and expect them to develop with absolutely no guidance. Some of the fees we spent were absolutely insane.
And to top it all off, we went into the season without a top striker. Somehow the board thought Jackson and Broja were enough.
Jackson had 12 senior league goals before joining, and 9 came in one 8 game purple patch. Broja had a year out through injury and would likely take 6 months to get to full fitness.
Insanity.
It’s not a coincidence that the only two times we won the league since 2010, Diego Costa was at the club. He’s the only striker signing since Anelka that I thought would work
