According to Hargreaves, these individuals were precisely the ones who should have been entrusted with steadying the ship at Stamford Bridge during turbulent times.

Pointing fingers at Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly, the former England international suggested that Boehly’s involvement may be a significant factor behind the club’s disappointing season.

In an interview with Premier League Productions, Hargreaves voiced his concerns, stating,

“You get new owners, and Todd Boehly comes in, they get rid of Petr Cech, Marina Granovskaia, they got rid of all the football people at that club. Why would you get rid of all the football people? Now it looks like there are no football people at the club. The decisions they have made, it has been a mess, it has been reckless, spending £600m and finishing in the bottom half is ridiculous really.”

Hargreaves’ comments shed light on the internal dynamics and decisions made by Chelsea’s new ownership, suggesting that the departure of experienced football administrators has had a detrimental impact on the club’s performance.

The decision to part ways with Petr Cech, the former goalkeeper and technical advisor, and Marina Granovskaia, the club’s influential director, has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.

The repercussions of these significant changes within the club’s administration seem to have taken a toll on Chelsea’s fortunes, with the team finishing the season in the bottom half of the Premier League table, despite significant financial investments in the squad.

While the full extent of the consequences of these decisions remains to be seen, Hargreaves’ criticism highlights the discontent among football observers regarding the management choices made by Chelsea’s new owners.

The absence of experienced football personnel and the perceived lack of direction within the club have been cited as factors contributing to the chaotic state of affairs.

As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the new ownership will reassess their decisions and seek to rectify the perceived errors made in restructuring the club’s administration.
