Chelsea great Didier Drogba: These owners lack class - unlike Abramovich

Chelsea great Didier Drogba has slammed Todd Boehly and his fellow current owners.

The American went on a £250million transfer spending spree over the summer before sacking then-manager Thomas Tuchel and a number of staff just seven games into the 2022-23 campaign.

He was also at the centre of attention when he suggested that the Premier League should launch a North vs South All-Star game.

But, Drogba believes Boehly has had a negative impact on the club.

When speaking to Canal+, the ex-striker said: "I knew this club with a certain class during the Roman Abramovich era, but today I find it lacking.

"It's very hard for me to see how they got rid of certain people, for example the physiotherapists, who were there for a very long time.

"They should go back to the principles and values they had."
