Everton and Chelsea will be feeling blue having been voted as the worst run clubs in the Premier League, according to Sky Bet’s Fan Hope survey.

The survey called on fans of all 20 Premier League teams, and asked them to share their opinion on who is the worst run club in the division, and it was clear to see last season’s performances from The Toffees and The Blues lived long in their memory.

Having just avoided relegation in the 2021/22 Premier League season, It was another tough campaign for the Goodison Park outfit, who had won just three of their 20 Premier League games before sacking Frank Lampard and replacing him with former Burnley boss Sean Dyche in January.



Dyche was able to keep Everton in the top flight, but it was another frustrating season, and over a fifth (21 per cent) of all supporters believed they are the worst run club in the division.

Perhaps even more pertinent was that 73 percent of Everton fans who were surveyed believed that their own club was the worst run in the Premier League, highlighting just how frustrated they’ve been at recent goings on at the club.

Chelsea picked up 19 percent of the overall vote from supporters surveyed after they endured a tough season following the arrival of Todd Boehly as the club’s new owner in the summer.



A vast amount of money was spent on the squad in both the summer and in January, but it was all to no avail as they finished in 12th - their lowest position in the Premier League since it changed format to a 38-game season in 1995.

As well as a number of signings on the pitch, the club also went through three managers as former Brighton boss Graham Potter initially replaced Thomas Tuchel in October, before the Englishman was then sacked himself and ironically Lampard, who Everton had discarded in January, was hired in a caretaker manager role in April until the end of the season.

Also ironically over a quarter of Brighton fans surveyed (26 percent) believed the Stamford Bridge club were the worst run, having taken their manager in the shape of Potter, and spent over £60m on signing defender Marc Cucurella from the Seagulls.

Coming in as the third worst run club was Manchester United, who received 12 percent of the vote from the fans which were surveyed.

Despite a solid season on the pitch which saw Erik ten Hag’s side win their first trophy in the shape of the Carabao Cup, many still had questions over their ownership by the Glazer family.



Tottenham Hotspur rounded off the ‘Top 4’ of worst run clubs according to the survey, receiving 10 per cent of the vote following a disappointing season on the pitch which saw them finish outside the European spots, while also sacking boss Antonio Conte, and then firing his replacement, and long-term assistant, Cristian Stellini as they ended another campaign with Ryan Mason in caretaker charge.

According to the survey, Man City are the best run club with Everton’s Merseyside rival Liverpool in third place

Thousands of fans across the country have given their opinion about the new Premier League season including who they think will win the league and what stadium has the best atmosphere. You can read the full Sky Bet Hope Survey here
