Have Strasbourg been any good since Boehly & co got involved? Answered

In a bid to expand the multi-club model, Chelsea owners took over the top-flight French football club Strasbourg earlier this summer.

But have they been any good following the takeover?

Answering this question might be a bit too early because there have only been three rounds of fixtures in Ligue 1. Regardless, Strasbourg have had a positive start.

The French club have beaten Toulouse 2-0 earlier on Sunday 27 August and are currently sitting fifth in the league standings, one point above PSG.

However, you cannot say that Strasbourg fans are too happy about the Chelsea connection.

Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali experienced first-hand as he was in the stands for the Toulouse clash when the Strasbourg fans staged a protest essentially against him, Todd Boehly and their fellow stakeholders.

Football fans on social media may not get it but match-going fans have valid concerns about the role and the future of their club in a multi-club model, so unsavoury to quite a few (just imagine if Chelsea were a feeder club to someone else in a multi-club model).

No to multi ownership, reads the banner from Strasbourg fans

The only connection on the pitch between the two clubs so far is the Brazilian winger Angelo, on loan from Chelsea.

Despite impressing in pre-season, he has yet to leave his mark. He was average in the first two games and was benched for the latest clash.
