Former striker Ally McCoist believes that Chelsea are \u2018rotting away\u2019 even if they do manage to win the FA Cup.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

McCoist has not held back in his latest comments on Chelsea after they lost 3-1 against Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

I also don\u2019t think there will be a single Chelsea fan who will disagree with what he\u2019s said after watching their club in turmoil this past four years under this ownership group.<\/p>\n

They need big changes. They need to get fans back on side. They need another squad rebuild. They need to find a top class manager. They have a lot to do, and it all looks impossible.<\/p>\n

In quotes picked up by SPTC, McCoist said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club is being run very, very poorly. The recruitment has been diabolical. They\u2019ve fallen off a cliff. Something within the club is rotting away, to tell you the truth. The decline on and off the pitch has been quite remarkable.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course Chelsea could go on and win the FA Cup. But the decline in standards overall, again, has been remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joao Pedro has said it was an early goal that cost Chelsea against Nottingham Forest \u2013 but he had no answers to why his team start badly even if he says he feels sorry for the fans.<\/p>\n

Four overpaid scammers who should be sacked right now were pictured at Stamford Bridge during the game yesterday looking very glum. A lot of our issues are their faults.<\/p>\n
