Former England striker Wayne Rooney has delivered some harsh home truths on the owners of Chelsea right now.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

To be honest, it\u2019s not just Rooney out there saying this, literally every single Chelsea fan is saying the same thing and every person involved in football is as well. It\u2019s literally the most obvious thing in football right now that we can all see \u2013 if only the Chelsea owners see it too. Because they need to do more than \u2018tweak the model\u2019 right now, they need to gut it out and change it completely.<\/p>\n

In words quoted on X yesterday, Rooney said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money they (Chelsea) spend and how they try and operate is absolutely crazy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a player, you don\u2019t want to be tying yourself in for that long at that club. It\u2019s madness.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other news today..<\/h2>\n

Chelsea\u2019s transfer of Joao Pedro worked out, and the club will surely try to repeat the trick this summer in the market. He\u2019s been a rare example of buying proven quality for the here and now.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have ruled out an\u00a0attempt to bring Xavi Hernandez in as their new manager according to Ben Jacobs\u2019 reporting today. What\u2019s odd is that it was Jacobs who reported Chelsea made contact with Xavi just moments before he said this!?<\/p>\n
