It was a departure that was all the time going to be a bit sore, however Chelsea proprietor, Todd Boehly, might’ve been a bit extra gracious to Mason Mount than giving him a 35-word ship off.
Mount has already been unveiled as a brand new Man United participant and has the unenviable ‘honour’ of carrying the well-known No.7 shirt that gamers equivalent to Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Bryan Robson and George Greatest have all worn up to now.
Maybe the rawness of that individual sale is what prompted Boehly and his fellow administrators, Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano, to launch their extremely transient ‘tribute’ to the 24-year-old who had been on the membership because the age of six, apart from two mortgage spells at Vitesse and Derby County.
‘We need to thank Mason for all his efforts on and off the pitch all through his time at Chelsea. He’s a consummate skilled who will likely be remembered fondly for his time with the membership,” they have been quoted as saying on the official Chelsea web site.
It’s so pathetic that it’s hardly price bothering with, and if that’s the angle the house owners have in direction of their greatest gamers, Mount was proper to get the hell out of Stamford Bridge.
Whether or not or not it’s believed that the participant needed to remain on the membership however simply needed to be paid what he felt he was price is hearsay and conjecture.
One factor is sort of sure and that’s that Chelsea have been a greater workforce with Mount in it than with out, and Todd Boehly might come to remorse yet one more of his selections.
Mauricio Pochettino’s ache will evidently be Erik ten Hag’s acquire.
