Chelsea Buyout Spurs On Everton Questions: Agent Ignites Moshiri Rumors
A recent report from The Times has drawn comparisons between Chelsea’s spending spree under new ownership and the tumultuous reign of Farhad Moshiri at Everton.
The report quotes a source “close to deals” at Chelsea, who compared the club’s current approach to “like [Farhad] Moshiri’s Everton on speed.” This comparison highlights concerns that Chelsea, similar to Everton under Moshiri, might be prioritizing short-term gains through excessive spending without a clear long-term strategy.
Adding fuel to the fire, a US lawyer familiar with American takeovers in the Premier League pointed out that “every new American owner (…) has made missteps at first.” This suggests that Chelsea’s current struggles might be part of an initial learning curve, similar to other American ownership groups in the league. However, the source also contrasts Chelsea’s situation with Everton’s, stating that “Boehly and Eghbali came in like Masters of the Universe, thinking they knew better right off the bat.” This implies that Chelsea’s ownership might be lacking the necessary humility and willingness to learn from experienced figures in the sport.sportvibe.co.uk
While the long-term vision for Everton remains tied to the success of the new stadium, the current state of the club is heavily burdened by the legacy of Moshiri’s reign. Years of overspending followed by a period of financial constraints have left the club battling relegation and facing potential sanctions.
The similarities between Chelsea’s current approach and Moshiri’s era at Everton are raising concerns among many. With Chelsea’s recent Carabao Cup final defeat mirroring Everton’s lack of trophies under Moshiri, comparisons are likely to continue. Additionally, the contrasting approaches to financial regulations raise questions about the long-term sustainability of both clubs’ current strategies.
While Chelsea’s recent spending hasn’t triggered any sanctions yet, their reported investigation by the Premier League adds another layer of complexity to the situation. If Chelsea continues down the same path as Moshiri’s Everton, it might not be long before they face similar consequences.
