High profile football pundit and former Liverpool player, Danny Murphy, has ridiculed Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly for speculative transfer signings. In addition, Sky Sports analyst and ex-Manchester United defender, Gary Neville, has also questioned the Blues co-owner’s shopping spree. While others believe CFC have turned a corner whilst prudently planning for the future.
Everyone has a view about sports. Football – or soccer, if you prefer – is arguably the most scrutinised of all games on the planet. The opinionated are quick to judge, and some of them are former professional footballers who have become pundits. They are, of course, paid for their opinions and are entitled to give them. It’s mandatory for contributors or commentators to do so, naturally.
Onetime Man United and England fullback Gary Neville is a rather dogmatic fellow. Though that persona doesn’t change the fact that he is often correct, particularly on sporting issues on and off the field of play.
On The Pride of London’s website we don’t get into the specifics of people’s particular political allegiances and their comments, although it is safe to say that Neville has branded himself liberal. Yet he is famous for offering fairly forthright judgments on others’ business conduct, operations and efficiency. And the Sky Sports team member has not let the CFC hierarchy off the hook in recent times.
Gary Neville questions Todd Boehly’s expensive Chelsea signings
Neville recently explained that he struggled to understand Todd Boehly’s expansive and expensive acquisitions. The 47-year-old added that Boehly and Behdad Eghbali shall ultimately be the ‘smartest people in the room, or pretty stupid’.
Danny Murphy has a long history of being kind of accurate but very outspoken, with supporters occasionally becoming annoyed at his outbursts. Some Leicester City fans, for example, were upset with his comments over the seasons.
Now Murphy has turned his attention to the west London outfit. He was quite uncomplimentary with respect to Blues transfer expenditure. In addition to that, the retired Red claimed that no Chels’ star would make Manchester City’s starting lineup.
