Chelsea are a ‘disgrace’ and it is entirely possible that they will not win the Premier League title ever again, according to their ex-star Frank Leboeuf.

The Blues have been English champions six times in the past, but haven’t landed the top-flight title for seven years, when they were owned by Roman Abramovich.

Chelsea have been on a dip ever since BlueCo took control of the club and Leboeuf has now warned fans that things won’t be getting better any time soon.

‘Some fans think Chelsea can just start from scratch next season, but it won’t really be starting from scratch after spending a billion pounds,’ Leboeuf told Instant Casino.

‘The club can do whatever they want with their money but as a former player, I think it’s kind of a disgrace to see what we are seeing.

‘The talent is there in the squad but you don’t have many leaders or players you can rely on, that’s the biggest problem Enzo Maresca has.

‘It’s possible that Chelsea can win a cup, like the FA Cup this season potentially, but never the Premier League. No way.

‘If they keep going the way they’re going then they will never win a Premier League title again, they need experience. It just won’t work.

‘When I arrived at the club they had been waiting 26 years for a trophy and that only came to an end when experienced winners arrived.’

Earlier this year, Chelsea fans launched a ‘get them out’ campaign against the club’s owners and printed mass stickers with Todd Boehly depicted as a clown.

The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust also penned a damning letter to Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, warning that a lack of clear direction could lead to ‘irreversible toxicity’ and that ‘more impactful forms of protest’ could be on the way.

‘The current mood amongst supporters is critically low and cannot be ignored,’ they wrote in March. ‘The feeling that the club has become a ‘laughing stock’, both on and off the pitch, is growing.

‘The Chelsea Supporters’ Trust regretfully believes that we are close to, if not already experiencing, a significant shift in supporter opinion that could result in irreversible toxicity, almost irrespective of results on the pitch.

‘Unless the situation improves, this seems likely to manifest itself in more targeted chanting, especially at televised games, and quite possibly more organised, overt and impactful forms of protest by some sections of the fanbase.’
