After Chelsea's managerial change, the losing streak has not abated and the situation is getting more and more worrying. The media has reported that because Chelsea failed to qualify for the Champions League in the new season, most of the players in the team need to accept a 30% cut in salary, including Ansel Fernandes and other players have no choice but to accept this reality.
The Athletic have revealed that Chelsea have been sitting pretty in the Champions League for the last few years, however, the club changed ownership at the end of last season and the situation changed when Burley took over. He added a Champions League clause to his players' contracts, stipulating a 30% pay cut in the event of losing Champions League qualification, a clause that has been in place since Golibani and Staines joined the club, and which sadly will come into effect next season.
It is worth noting that this clause is not Chelsea's first. Last season, Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League, including C-Ro, a number of players need to reduce the payroll by 25%, but C-Ro refused to accept the payroll reduction, he believes that he has completed the performance as expected, only the other people are not performing well, coupled with other factors, and ultimately, C-Ro and Manchester United early termination of the contract.
The conflict between C-Ro and Manchester United may not be repeated at Chelsea. Reports indicate that Chelsea players generally accept the terms of the pay cut, but morale damage is inevitable. More offensive to the players is that the club chairman Paulie frequently interfered in team affairs, including reprimanding players on the sidelines, often into the locker room, and even arrange the lineup, which seriously interfered with the coach's work, resulting in low morale, the players can not focus on the game.
