Chelsea supporters are growing increasingly frustrated with Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, following the club’s lack of silverware and continued uncertainty surrounding its direction. Despite spending over £1bn on new signings, Chelsea has failed to establish itself as a dominant force under its new ownership.
At the Financial Times Business of Football Summit, Todd Boehly addressed Chelsea’s ongoing struggles, dismissing fan protests as “par for the course.” He defended the club’s recruitment strategy, which has focused on long-term contracts and young talent, while also hinting at future streaming-driven revenue models for the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Chelsea supporters are losing patience, as performances on the pitch continue to disappoint. Many still yearn for the Roman Abramovich era, despite its controversies, viewing it as a time of greater success and clarity.
With no clear short-term success, Chelsea fans are left questioning whether the club's new owners truly understand the values and expectations that come with leading one of football’s biggest institutions.
