According to reports, Chris Jurasek, CEO of Chelssa, stated something in a recent meeting that surprised every other employee.
When asked if he was a Chelsea supporter or not, the American had an intriguing response, according to the Mail Online.
One of the employees who has been brought in to work under Todd Boehly’s supervision under the Clearlake regime is Jurasek.
His appointment to the position of CEO was a precursor to the massive exodus of important personnel that occurred at the club in the initial months following the ownership transition.
Some of these hiring and firing decisions appear to have gone more smoothly than others. The fans of Chelsea were especially hurt when they lost club legend Petr Cech from his position on the board.
Jurasek hasn’t been in his current position at the club for more than a year, but even so, he didn’t take long to make an impression on a few other employees—perhaps not always in the best way.
Chelsea CEO leaves staff stunned
It has now been claimed that he was asked in a meeting for new members of staff if he was already a chelsea fan before joining the club.
In response, he allegedly stated that he views football as a product where earning money is an option and that he is not even a true fan of the game overall.
Some attendees of the meeting are said to have been left speechless by this reaction.
There are many who think that Stamford Bridge’s culture is broken now and has been ever since the ownership changed.
News pieces such as this one just serve to reinforce that viewpoint, making supporters genuinely question the quality of the current team roster.
