Hundreds of Chelsea fans turned on owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital last night by protesting against outside Stamford Bridge prior to their collision with Southampton.
The shape of Chelsea was desperately rejected and part of the fan base came together on Tuesday evening to focus their anger in Boehly and Clearlake Capital, who bought the club from Roman Abramovich in 2022.
The blues have beautifully published since that takeover, so that they spent more than £ 1 billion on first team players, with several controversial managers.
But they still have to win a big trophy since the Abramovich era ended and patience has now been worn thin for some fans.
“We are not Arsenal,” read the board of a fan. 'Win or F ** K!'
Another fan had a 'Clear Off' poster that against 'No Stadium Plans', 'No Champions League Football', 'Average players' and an obsession with player trade.
Tuesday's protest began outside the Bovel -Poort with Stamford Bridge before fans marched Fulham Road to the Stamford Gate.
There were songs of 'we want our Chelsea back' as well as 'Boehly, you are AC ***'.
Furious Fans also sang the name of former owner Abramovich.
One of the larger banners was: “BlueCo stop killing Chelsea, go out of our club!”
In addition to the March Down Fulham Road, a group of fans waved collected by one of the stadium gates and a fan waved around fake money for a Boehly cartoon.
That gesture was used to mock Boehly after it was revealed earlier this month that the co-owner of Chelsea is also co-owner of Vivid Seats, an American place that sells tickets for sporting events on a large marking.
“Need a ticket, ask Todd,” read the board of a fan.
Earlier this month, Chelsea fans accused Boehly of a 'violation of trust' after the lively seats link came forward.
The trust of the Chelsea supporters has released a highly formulated statement in response in which they wrote that their members have lost confidence in their club that tackles the 'continuous exploitation' of ticket-touting, while he called Boehly to stop selling To tourists.
Vivid Seats is a US -based online marketplace of which Boehly is both an investor and director. NameChecked on the Premier League list with 'unauthorized ticket websites', enables users to flogen tickets for a maximum of tens of thousands of pounds.
Chelsea has previously convicted the Touts of Ticket on their own website and the CST said in their statement: 'Vivid Seats currently mentions hundreds of Chelsea FC general admission tickets at significantly inflated prices. Because these tickets are not sold by the Chelsea FC website, they are considered by the club as 'illegal sale'.
'Within the recent CST ticket -Touting -research, many CST members suggested that Mr Boehly's connection with lively chairs is a' breach of trust 'and can be a conflict of interest.
'These recent reports are very disappointing, and it is within the interest of Mr Boehly to investigate these issues and to tackle the concerns of supporters -we do not believe that it is suitable for Chelsea tickets or broader Premier League tickets to take to be mentioned on the Vivid Seats website.
