Strasbourg fans release new statement blasting Chelsea owners

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali may have thought that Stamford Bridge was the only place they would draw fan ire.

However, the two businessmen are now facing backlash from supporters at Strasbourg.

The French club have joined the Blues' multi-club network this season, prompting dismay from their local supporters.

Racing is now nothing more than a financial asset, owned by an investment fund that already owns another club," said Ultra Boys 90 in a statement this month.

“Multi-club is killing football, and we'll fight it!

“Two transfer windows have also come and gone, and all we can do is watch helplessly as our club is stripped of all its experienced players in favor of young, up-and-coming players.

“We're not fooled! No professional club can be competitive under these conditions. That's why we're asking: what is BlueCo's real plan for Racing?"
