Claude Makelele urges Chelsea fans to give owners and new players time

thenationalnews.com

Former Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele believes the Blues are on the right path and has urged supporters to give both the board and the new players time.

A consortium led by LA Dodgers part owner Todd Boehly purchased the Premier League club from Roman Abramovich last year after the Russian was forced to sell for alleged links to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The group quickly flexed their financial muscle by spending more than half-a-billion euros over the past two transfer windows on new players.

Despite the huge layout, Chelsea are left with an outsize squad sheared of a prolific centre-forward which has been reflected in performances and results.
