The trudge up Fulham Road has rarely been this despondent. It is a mild Spring night, a bit too chilly for the end of April, and gloom is the only real temperature that has been felt around these parts since the summer.
A lone figure, wearing a blue Chelsea bobble hat holds a raggedy homemade sign. Scribbled on the paper are two words “Sack Eghbali” referencing Behdad Eghbali, one of the club's co-owners. His appearance from a distance, aided by dark glasses looks eerily like Todd Boehly.
This week will mark a year since Boehly first stepped foot inside Stamford Bridge, present for a game against Wolves as the American hero leading a consortium to save Chelsea from impending doom. Back then, there was intrigue and excitement. Sadness at an era ending but hope a new dawn could spark new inspiration.
