Todd Boehly’s mass spend at Chelsea looks like it has not only played a big role in the downfall of the club this season, but may also help their rivals ahead of the new campaign.
Chelsea have spent around £500m since Boehly took over the club, which is more than Manchester United have spent over the past six transfer windows.
The quick-fire mammoth injection of cash has swelled Chelsea’s squad to 32 first-team players. Incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino will have to slash that number, probably by his own will but also out of financial necessity.
