Chris Sutton’s Verdict on the Chelsea takeover involving Palace owners

Chris Sutton opened up after hearing the news. He believes that Palace supporters would be furious. The owners eyeing investing in another club just goes to show they were never interested in their own club. By giving false promises to fans and supporters, They have cheated them and they rightfully should be furious.

“Palace fans will be furious with this, really. They will look at the owners who have their eye on another club and think they are not concentrating and never have been too bothered about our club. It was always about the next month, and their heart isn’t in it. I think Palace fans will be deeply unhappy with this.”

Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea back in 2003. During this time period, Chelsea was recognized as a mid table team.
