We select a few contenders for the Premier League’s flop of the season – and invite you to have your say
Let’s face it, this entire page could have been filled with Chelsea flops. There was a point in late April when, with Chelsea on a losing run under the dumbfounded Frank Lampard, saviour without a clue, it became almost possible that the club would pay the ultimate price for eight months of farce and get relegated. As it is, the (dis)organisation that walloped out close to £600m on transfers finished in mid-table, but with no heroics in staying up. From Thomas Tuchel’s still-mysterious defenestration, to Graham Potter being handed a squad so bloated they had to use two different dressing rooms, to spending all that loot and still not signing a striker beyond Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – signed for Tuchel only for the coach to be sacked within days – Chelsea’s decision-making made little sense.
