The Chelsea co-owner walked into the Premier League talking of All-Star games and playoffs. His tenure has so far been defined by expensive missteps
Remember Todd Boehly? There was a time when Chelsea’s chairman and co-owner was a near-omnipresent figure in English football. Not only were Chelsea spending $1bn of transfer money in record-breaking fashion while attempting to rewrite accounting principles, but Citizen Todd was only too happy to tell the world of his exciting plans for the Premier League.
He hasn’t disappeared completely. Baseball-capped, dressed for the cold, he attended Chelsea’s match with Brighton in early December, but it has been some time since the football public heard from him. Club politics, wider football politics and perhaps most of all, Chelsea’s rather embarrassing slide, have each served to reduce the need for the Marylander to hold forth in the manner that quickly made his name.
