Ex-Chelsea star sends Mauricio Pochettino sack message to Todd Boehly – “You have to win”

After a challenging first season leading Chelsea, Blues owner Todd Boehly has been advised to think

about the Argentine’s future if Mauricio Pochettino is unable to improve the team’s performance.

If the team’s performance does not improve, former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel has told Mauricio

Pochettino that he need to be fired.

After a challenging first season under manager Pochettino, the Blues are mired in ninth place. Todd

Boehly, the team’s owner, spent heavily during the summer, which benefited the Argentine manager.

But the American has little to show for his investment, though Pochettino’s side are still in the

FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. And Mikel believes it is time for Boehly to ramp the pressure up on

Pochettino.

Though he has put his backing behind the former PSG manager, Mikel has highlighted the approach of

Roman Abramovich as one Boehly should follow. The Russian was notoriously trigger-happy during his

time as owner, with Mikel hinting Pochettino should also be at risk if he does not turn his side’s form

around.

Now that we’ve given them time. Half a year has passed. It’s time to triumph now. Chelsea doesn’t have

time. Our credo is ‘You have to win.'” At the London The Best FIFA Football Awards, Mikel told Sky

Sports.

“Roman gets you out the door and gets someone else if you lose. Therefore, in my opinion, the new

owner should adopt the mindset that “you have to win.” What’s the point of being at Chelsea if you can’t

win?
