Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital are considering their options, just over two years after acquiring the club. A differing of opinion on matters such as the club’s recruitment policy and poor performances on the pitch has caused relations to sour.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the Blues. Clearlake Capital has stated that they have no intention of selling up and are only interested in increasing their stake.

Boehly, who is also the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of the Guggenheim Baseball Management consortium, initially operated as the sporting director when they purchased the club. However, he has gradually faded into the background over the past two years as the club committed to overhauling its recruitment staff.

In the past six months, Boehly has taken a step back from the day-to-day management of the club, with Eghbali now widely seen as the most influential figure at Stamford Bridge. Clearlake owns more than 60% of the club, with Boehly, US businessman Mark Walter, and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss holding the rest.

Despite spending over £1bn on new players, the club’s results on the pitch have been underwhelming. Prior to the Argentine’s appointment, Chelsea sacked Thomas Tuchel in September 2022 and appointed Graham Potter as his successor.

Boehly urged disgruntled fans to stick with them amid criticism over the club’s recruitment strategy and poor form. He emphasized the need to let the process develop and give time for the team to come together.

He acknowledged the fans’ frustration with the team and the owners. In addition, Chelsea treats its community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from them and their partners.

If anyone is dissatisfied with the community, they have the option to leave at any time.
