In a scathing assessment, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie O’Hara has singled out Chelsea as the disappointment of the season in the English Premier League.
O’Hara didn’t mince his words, branding Chelsea’s performance under the ownership of Todd Boehly as a disgrace. He highlighted the stark decline of the team, pointing out that the Blues finished a lowly 12th in the previous season under Graham Potter and interim manager Frank Lampard.
Following Boehly’s appointment, Mauricio Pochettino was brought in as the permanent manager. Despite this high-profile acquisition, Chelsea currently languish in 10th place after 19 games this season.
Expressing his discontent with Chelsea’s underwhelming displays, O’Hara didn’t hold back in his criticism during an interview with talkSPORT. He stated, “I’m gonna go for a whole football club and I’m gonna go for Chelsea. Chelsea have been the flop of the year. It is not bitterness at all, it is a fact. They have gone and spent a billion pounds, brought in 30 players and they are absolutely abysmal. Todd Boehly’s come in and made a complete mess of it. Graham Potter and his whole backroom staff were brought in and had to pay them a fortune to go. Then he’s had Frank Lampard come in, an absolute disaster.”
O’Hara’s remarks shed light on the frustration surrounding Chelsea’s decline, sparking discussions about the club’s tumultuous season.
