Lifelong Chelsea fan and Conservative party peer Lord Daniel Finkelstein has sent a personal message to supporters after he was named on the club's board of directors by Todd Boehly.
Boehly was a leading figure in the consortium's winning bid, securing the purchase of the Blues from Roman Abramovich after a lengthy process that engulfed the second half of the season. On Wednesday morning he announced the figures that would make up the board of directors moving forward.
It is a move that will see some influential names depart including director of football Marina Granovskaia and chairman Bruce Buck, with Boehly himself replacing the latter. Places on the board have predominantly been handed to those who invested in the consortium.
