Even today, Chelsea’s supporters cannot come to terms with the injustice of the forced expulsion of Roman Abramovich from Stamford Bridge and the arrival of an American consortium that in a short time managed to demolish everything that the Russian oligarch had been building for almost two decades.Many are pointing the finger at Todd Boehly, the first face of Chelsea’s stumbling, and rightfully so, because even after spending more than one billion euros for the year and a fraction of the work, he didn’t do anything concrete. And not only is the title a thing of imagination, but a place in the Champions League is in a similar category.##NAJAVA_MECA_7984655##Now the island’s media have found out about the existence of a contract that properly shows what it is like when Americans enter football… Namely, there is a certified agreement between the owners of Chelsea according to which one man can be president for a maximum of five years, after which someone else takes over the top role.In Boehly’s case, this means that he will surely leave the leading position at the end of the 2026/27 season. Boehly got the opportunity to be the first man of the club before Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano, even though he is a minority owner in the consortium. Eghbali and Feliciano together hold 61.5 percent, while the rest is in the hands of Todd Boehly and his partners Hansjorg Wyss and Mark Walter. The reason why Boehly and his entourage got the opportunity to be the first to ‘preside’ over Chelsea allegedly lies in the fact that the latter accepted so-called ‘ordinary shares’, while Eghbali and Feliciano have ‘preferred shares’ which significantly protect them from possible financial collapses and major losses.🚨 Todd Boehly will be REMOVED as Chelsea chairman in 2027 as the majority owners Clearlake Capital plan to switch to a new figurehead for the club. ❌(Source: @MailSport ) pic.twitter.com/1JjixlcGi8— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) March 28, 2024 When that year 2027 comes, Eghbali and Feliciano can choose whether one of them will sit in the chair or they will choose a third man who will practically be their extended arm. Certainly, Boehly will no longer be at the helm in three years, that’s for sure. Although he could return to the top as early as 2032.And what will happen until then, who knows. Chelsea already look like a club without a clear vision and plan. So far, it looks more like a classic American project for turning over large sums of money, which is essentially the most important thing for them, while the results are on the side.The island’s media have been speculating for some time that there is tension between ‘two sides’ within the consortium, although they are denying it so far. Boehly certainly drew the ire of fans in a short time due to poor business and lack of results, although Eghbali and Feliciano did not fare better not only from supporters, but also from investors. Namely, the people who entrusted them with their money are allegedly asking for the moment of money turnover to happen as soon as possible, because it has already deviated from the projections that existed when entering Chelsea. Certainly, the Clearlake fund says that there are no problems and that they plan to stay in Chelsea for the long term.Lavia is sad, Palmer dissapointed, Sterling booed… Just another day in the office for PochThe Blues are in 11th place in the Premier League. They lost the League Cup final to Liverpool’s ‘youth team’ and also reported a loss of over €100,000,000. The club puts a lot of focus on marketing and sponsorship contracts, in order to patch up the holes after huge investments. It was different with Roman and he didn’t care as much about it as about the result, and the Russian billionaire covered the losses with new investments from his own pocket… However, not everything was dandy in his time either.While a change at the top would be a key move, with the people currently running the club, nothing drastic would likely happen in terms of the business going forward. When the Americans entered Chelsea, they set a clear goal that their priority was to buy talented players from all over the world. For this reason, they have invested huge sums of money in scouting, statistical and other analysts, far more than ever during the Abramovich era.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Although the top management admits that there have been mistakes in past work, they believe that Chelsea’s future is bright and that everything will quickly come to its place. In recent months, the club’s ambitions have been questioned more and more loudly, because nothing important has happened since the takeover and there are constant bad results and disappointments. Chelsea have been a winning club for years, winning trophies and playing in the Champions League. Now it’s light years away from that.Even that dream of financial well-being is not very close to reality with the Americans right now…
