Erik ten Hag shares his thoughts on Chelsea and Todd Boehly. Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, launched a scathing attack on Todd Boehly of Chelsea, saying that having a lot of money is useless if the appropriate plan isn’t followed. The Blues have had a terrible season and are on track to have their poorest Premier League season since 1993-1994.
The one thing Todd Boehly was not afraid to do was to make significant market investments, as evidenced by the group he led purchasing Chelsea for £4.25 billion in May 2022. The Blues have spent more than £600 million in the last year to revamp their team and contend for the top honors.
Raheem Sterling, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Enzo Fernandez, Mykhaylo Mudryk, and other well-known players were acquired by Chelsea. Despite this, they have had trouble maintaining any kind of consistency or form this season.
Three managers—Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, and Bruno Saltor—have already been fired by Todd Boehly and the club administration, and current temporary manager Frank Lampard is also having trouble.
It is now clear that the Blues had little to no planning for each manager and signing. Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, didn’t hesitate to address this during the Chelsea pre-game press conference.
He stated (via GOAL): “If you don’t spend your money wisely and with a plan, it won’t work for you, even if you have money. Many of the top players, managers, and financial resources are currently present in the United Kingdom. It is a fantastic competition, but it is also challenging. Money doesn’t function when there is no strategy or the incorrect strategy.”
On Thursday, May 25, the Blues will visit Old Trafford to play Manchester United.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, wants to take advantage of playing Chelsea at home:
Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is keen to use the ‘fortress’ that is Old Trafford to his advantage today while playing Chelsea under Frank Lampard.
This season at Old Trafford, the Red Devils have excelled. They have won 13, lost just one, and drawn three of their 17 games. When questioned about a potential home advantage, Erik ten Hag admitted this.
On the official website of Manchester United, he stated: “Absolutely. And we’re really at ease. It serves as both our stronghold and home. We generate a mood in the stadium, and I anticipate it continuing in the ensuing two contests. However, let’s attempt it tomorrow. We must do the task.”
With 69 points, ErikTenn Hag and company are presently fourth in the standings. The Blues and Fulham will be their opponents in their next two home games. For them to be eligible for the UEFA Champions League, they only need one point from either game.
