Some football club owners are happy to fly under the radar, keep themselves to themselves and leave the management of the team to others. Todd Boehly is not one of those owners.
The American billionaire has been front and centre at Chelsea ever since his Clearlake Capital consortium completed a takeover from Roman Abramovich in May last year. Boehly has played the role of enthusiastic maverick, turning his hand to everything and anything, despite a lack of experience.
The 49-year-old has experience of sports club ownership as co-owner of the LA Dodgers and LA Lakers. But his lack of understanding of football and his extremely hands-on approach has led to many missteps inside his first year at the club.
