Why Didier Drogba criticised Chelsea’s new ownership
The Pride of London detail and explain why Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has criticised the Blues’ new ownership.
The iconic Blues striker has had a bit to say about Todd Boehly and Co., suggesting that the west London club had ‘lost principles and values’ and ‘lacked class’ since the take over. Wow. Those are some strong assertions from Drogba, indeed.
While the seemingly astute appointment of Graham Potter is not mentioned, the former Ivory Coast captain is upset at how other members of staff, including Marina Granovskaia, were treaded and dismissed. Drogba says the outfit was a classy one during the Roman Abramovich era, an element which he now believes is missing.

In addition, the 44-year-old claims that the long-time serving physiotherapists should not have been replaced. CFC should, Drogba states, revert to having the previous set of values. Ex-Blues midfielder Michael Ballack has also made similar statements of late. Whereas the onetime Germany international seemed to focus criticism on the sacking of his compatriot Thomas Tuchel.
Brentford vs Chelsea
Five consecutive wins and now four successive games without conceding has Potter skipping happily in a Blues wonderland, figuratively speaking. A near perfect start which appears to defy calls that Thomas Tuchel should have remained in the Chels’ manager role. In a certain respect, this winning streak even helps to justify the German’s polarising departure, regardless of his overall success.
A sixth win away at London rivals Brentford wouldn’t close the topic of Tuchel’s absence, but would go a long way to provide closure. In general, silencing the fans who remian actively pining for the former head coach all over social media would be a positive development. This longing and dissatisfaction is not helping anyone, and nothing lasts forever, etcetera.

A prospective victory versus Manchester United back at Stamford Bridge on the upcoming Saturday would definitely help those disgruntled supporters move on. Yet complacency isn’t a positive angle, and Thomas Frank’s men shouldn’t be considered an easy game, at all! They are especially dangerous when Ivan Toney is firing on all cylinders, as he is presently. However, CFC obtaining the three points is the likely outcome.
