Chelsea's losing streak has not stopped after the change of manager, and there is no such thing as the worst, only the worse. The media reported that since Chelsea failed to qualify for UEFA Europa League in the coming season, most of the players will have to take a 30% pay cut, including Ansel Fernandes and other players have already accepted the fact of the pay cut.
The Athletic reported that Chelsea almost secured the UEFA Europa League seat in recent years, but at the end of last season, the club changed ownership, and the situation changed drastically after Burley came on the scene. Burley added a UEFA Europa League clause to his player's contract, which required him to take a 30% pay cut if he lost his UEFA Europa League qualification, a clause that began when Golibani and Stanning joined the club and which, unfortunately, will be enforced in the upcoming season.
The above clause is not the first of its kind for the Blue Warriors. Last season, Manchester United lost the UEFA Europa League qualification, and players including Cron had to take a 25% pay cut. However, Cron refused to accept the pay cut, believing that he had already delivered his expected performance, and it was only because of the poor performance of other players and other reasons, which resulted in the early termination of Cron's contract with the club.
Cron's problems with Manchester United may not necessarily be present at Chelsea. Reports indicate that Chelsea's players have accepted the pay cut clause, but the demoralization is inevitable. However, the players are even more disgusted with Paulie's interference in the team's affairs, including reprimanding the players at the stadium, entering the dressing room frequently, and even arranging the lineups and interfering with the team leader's work, which have all contributed to the lack of motivation of the team and made it impossible for players to concentrate on their matches.
