Dean Saunders targets new Chelsea owner: ‘Are you playing Football Manager?’ – Chelsea

Dean Saunders, a former Welsh forward who represented Benfica in the 1998/99 season, criticized Chelsea’s new owner, Todd Boehly, considering that the American, who will also be interim sporting director of the blues, thinks “you are playing Football Manager”. “I might be getting ahead of myself… Todd Boehly bought Chelsea, why is he putting himself in the lead role now? Are you playing Football Manager? Some of these owners play Football Manager: they sit with the kids to rest and play…”, began by saying Saunders, before explaining the reason for this opinion.

“The best part of Football Manager is you pick the team, buy the players and do the tactics. And then you start thinking, ‘How about doing this in real life?’ And then you try to play Football Manager at a real-life club. until they realize: ‘Well, we can’t buy these players because we have a coach here. Who is this coach? He’s in our way…'”, he concluded.
