Mauricio Pochettino, the manager, mentioned on Tuesday that Chelsea's co-owners, Behdad Eghbali and Todd Boehly, are allowed to visit the team's locker room after matches.  The west London club, currently in 14th place in the Premier League with just five points from six games, has faced challenges since the change in ownership last year and had their lowest league finish since 1994 in the previous season.  After their recent 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa, there were reports that co-controlling owner Eghbali had entered the locker room, similar to co-owner Boehly, who faced criticism for doing the same after a Chelsea loss last season. "I like when the owner comes [into the locker room]. I think it is good that the owner comes into the dressing room. It is the way that they approach the players that is most important," Pochettino said in a news conference ahead of Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against Brighton & Hove Albion. "If they are in a good way and an encouraging way then I think they are very welcome... I don't see it in a bad way. For me it is good always if they share with us [the coaching staff] then can say hello to the players. "The difference is if they came for some speech or different things, then maybe that is different. In the way they came, of course they are very welcome. They own the club, they can do whatever they want." "Maybe the feelings after the defeat on Sunday are not the best but I feel it is about to move on to get the players the confidence and the trust. "It is a different competition and we need to change our mood. Yesterday and today we were talking a lot -- trying to breathe more confidence into the team -- and I think we are going to be ready for tomorrow." "It was a decision between the club and Bruno," Pochettino said. "He didn't belong to my coaching staff and then it's the best decision for him and for the club."
