Nothing but absolutely nothing has gone right in the Todd Boehly era at Chelsea. After purchasing the club for $5.2 billion, the decisions made by Boehly have been head scratching. Since the ownership group’s arrival, the team has spent over $1 billion on player signings and is on their fourth manager in less than one year.

For a team that boasts Enzo FernƔndez, Raheem Sterling, MoisƩs Caicedo, and Mykhailo Mudryk the output has been dismal. Chelsea are 14th on the year and are not playing any European competitions and have lost three out of their last 5.

Mauricio Pochettino has looked lost and frustrated on the touchline with little to no answers from his team. Todd Boehly was public about how ā€œdisappointedā€ he was with the team for the horrid start.

ā€œWe need to work in giving the players trust and confidence. We have the squad, we cannot change anything, so we have to give them confidenceā€, was a few of the comments from a bewildered Pochettino after a shock loss to Aston Villa 1-0 over the weekend.
