A new era has dawned at Chelsea with the club confirming their new board of directors on Wednesday morning. They also confirmed the departures of Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck.
The duo have been fixtures at Stamford Bridge for years with Granovskaia, in particular, having a huge influence on transfer dealings as director of football. A close ally of Roman Abramovich, she has overseen transfer and contract negotiations at the club but will step down at the end of the summer window.
Buck's time has come to an immediate end, however, with co-owner Todd Boehly taking his place as chairman of the board. Joining him on the board are a number of people familiar from the takeover process including Hansjorg Wyss, Jonathan Goldstein and the co-founders of Clearlake Capital.
