The American investment group took over the Ligue 1 club to make it a feeder for the Blues. However, with Strasbourg sitting in mid-table in the league, and Chelsea in the same position in the Premier League, Todd Boehly is under fire again. The letter from the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Supporters RCS reads: &#8220;Following BlueCo&#8217;s purchase, the 2023 summer transfer window is our first element of analysis and our first major worry. &#8220;The exclusive recruitment of very young players \u2013 not yet operational and potentially weakened by their over-exposition, combined with the absence of arrivals of more mature players, exposes the club to a sporting risk from which the owners should have better protected us. BlueCo&#8217;s imposition of an obligation to buy only very young hopefuls is senseless on a sporting level and the fans don&#8217;t relate to their team at the moment. &#8220;The supporters that maintained that, since the purchase of Racing, we are only a training center and a secondary piece in a global business, have gained credit following this transfer window, which seems far from the announced ambition.&#8221; They added: \u201cMoney without competence doesn&#8217;t lead to anything good, and the example of Chelsea, our so-called &#8216;big brother&#8217;, who have spent a lot of money but have had a vertical fall down the English hierarchy, is an important reference point: We don&#8217;t want to incompetence that reigns at Chelsea at RCSA. Neither directly, nor indirectly. &#8220;Beyond the Strasbourg case, we wish to also remind you that multi-club ownership is a danger to football. The pyramid system that this system is slowly locking into place, and even more strongly than was already the case, risks reducing the majority of clubs to a simple objective of developing young players and helping the few clubs at the top of the pyramid in order to yield a profit for their business.
