"Blown away against relegation scrappers Nottingham Forest earlier in the week as they slumped to a deserved 3-1 defeat in west London, the Blues have remarkably lost six consecutive Premier League appearances for the first time in their history."
"Announcing the biggest pre-tax loss in Premier League history last month as they produced a jaw-dropping £262million deficit, the English giants have now got to juggle some serious financial restrictions."
"Alongside continued speculation over the future of midfield talisman and current skipper Enzo Fernandez, it has been suggested that the Stamford Bridge hierarchy have already accepted that they will be forced to move on some of their first-team superstars in an attempt to balance their books."
"Although Manchester United might have been heavily linked with a move for the England U21 international, Delap eventually arrived at Stamford Bridge after activating his £30million release clause. However, despite arriving in west London with many expecting him to be the man to spearhead Chelsea's charge, the 23-year-old has quickly become a real outsider in the English capital."
Chelsea have entered a public crisis after losing six consecutive Premier League matches for the first time in their history, including a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. The club now faces an uphill fight to secure any European qualification next season while also managing major financial problems behind the scenes. Chelsea announced a £262 million pre-tax deficit, the biggest in Premier League history, and must operate under serious financial restrictions. Speculation continues over Enzo Fernandez’s future, and it is suggested the club may need to sell first-team stars to balance the books. Liam Delap, who joined after activating a £30 million release clause, has struggled to become a key figure, with limited Premier League output and competition from Joao Pedro.
