Todd Boehly and his co-owners have continued their major structural changes at Chelsea, this time turning to those already in place. Instead of removing people from key directorial roles, as happened over the summer, three men in place have been promoted.
Marina Granovskaia, Bruce Buck and Petr Cech all left before a transfer was completed under Boehly in a move that emptied out the corridors of Cobham, but things have changed since. The footballing characters with a proven track record of success and with methods aligned with Boehly and Co have remained and have now been given more responsibility.
These changes are added to the additions of key recruitment staff and directors on the way in. Laurence Stewart and Joe Shields are due to join in 2023 whilst Christopher Vivell is close to being announced as the new technical director. Former Brighton transfer guru Paul Winstanley has started already.
