A reputation-harming financial scandal. An early and humiliating Champions League elimination. A star player casting doubt on his future.
Life at Chelsea often resembles a soap opera, and this week has been appointment viewing at a club where the decision-making of its past and present ownership has come under scrutiny.
It started with Chelsea receiving a Premier League-record fine and a suspended transfer ban because of business dealings — including $62 million of undisclosed payments to unregistered agents and third parties — under previous owner Roman Abramovich that, for some, have raised doubts about the legality of the trophy-winning squad that was built by the club.
It hasn’t taken long for the focus to shift to the shortcomings of Chelsea’s expensively assembled current squad and the methods of its inexperienced coach Liam Rosenior, who was recently hired in a bold call by Chelsea’s American ownership.
