Chelsea co-owner attends Strasbourg game, fans stage protest against multi-club model

Chelsea is not the only focus of their ownership group after they have acquired full control of Ligue 1 side Strasbourg.

On Sunday, during Strasbourg's home game against Toulouse, cameras spotted Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali in the stands. Some reports add that Todd Boehly may be in attendance as well, but he was not caught on camera.

At the same time, Strasbourg fans are not happy about being taken over by another club.

A group of fans displayed a banner saying 'No to the multi-club model'.

This summer, Strasbourg have spent €56m on transfers, more than at any point in their history. Naturally, it would've been impossible without the BlueCo takeover.

Still, it's understandable that some fans are unhappy about the fact that the club that was founded in 1906 is now just a part of another club's big project.
