Todd Boehly has spent so much in trying to change Chelsea’s fortunes, but it hasn’t worked so far.
Chelsea are currently 14th in the league, after an abysmal last season that saw the Blues finish in 12th.
Reports claim that the new Chelsea owners are trying to make Chelsea a ‘100-point team’ in the coming seasons, but Paul Merson has slammed such talks, and doesn’t see anything like that happening even in the next four years.
Paul Merson said: “I do worry, Chelsea have got to get going. And this hasn’t been the hardest start in the world.
“Apart from Liverpool on the opening day, every team they’ve played could finish in the bottom half of the table. Maybe that’s harsh on West Ham given the way they’ve started. But Bournemouth, Luton, Nottingham Forest – if they’re not in the bottom six or seven, I’d be shocked.
“So far, Chelsea have won one game – against Luton – and you’re wondering when they’re going to win a football match. I watched them on Friday Night Football against West Ham last week and thought: ‘who is the first team they’re going to beat?’
“It’s not like Chelsea have had Newcastle’s start, then you’d understand. You’d think: ‘we’ve got the big boys out the way and it didn’t work well but now we have to make some promising signs’. Bar Liverpool at home, every team finished in the bottom half last season. Pochettino needs to get it together.
“I read an article the other day which was about Chelsea being put together to get 100 points in a season. This team won’t get 100 points, not even in two, three or four years. They just won’t.”
