Jakarta – Chelsea‘s significant financial investment under owner Todd Boehlyโค appears โคto โbe yielding โคpositive results, as the club demonstrates improved form and stability.
Since acquiring Chelsea โคfor ยฃ3 billion โคin 2022 following Roman Abramovich’s โdeparture due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Boehly โhas spent nearly ยฃ1.5 billion on playerโ acquisitions. Abramovich, who revolutionized Chelsea during his 20-year ownership with five Premier League titles and two โChampions League trophies, set a high bar. Boehly โinitially mirrored โคAbramovich’s approach by bringing in โnumerous high-profile players, but also oversaw the departure of four managers, including Thomas โฃTuchel. โ
Chelsea endured a disappointing first season under Boehly, finishing 12th in the Premier League. Though, the club has shown signs of progress, winning the UEFA Conference Leagueโข and Club World Cup last season under Enzo maresca.โ
“The club is calmer now, now Boehly is accepted,” stated Jorrit Meijer, leader of Chelsea supporters in the Netherlands, to Dutch media outlet NOS. “Now โฃhe is buying more talent.Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmerโฃ and Estevao โขfor example. It’s very fun to watch. There is also a โคclear transfer policy, no more panic.”
Currently, Chelsea sits in fifth place in the Premier League with 14 โคpoints and is in 11th position in their Champions League group with six points after a recent 5-1โ victory over Ajax.
