The Todd Boehly era is now in full effect. Chelsea's chairman and director have now stepped aside for the new structure to take its place. Bruce Buck has stepped down, assuming the role of a senior advisor instead, and Marina Granovskaia will be leaving the club permanently at the end of the transfer window. Granovskaia, in particular, has been an influential figure in the world of football. Her firm negotiation skills, coupled with her financial intelligence, has made an impact on the Blues' success.
It is a big statement for Boehly and Clearlake Capital. Removing two members that have been in power since 2003 implies that they should be well equipped to fill the void.
Whilst it may interest some as to who takes their place straight away. Several fans want to know what the benefits are from losing Granovskaia. Her recent objections to marquee signings just as Virgin Van Dijk, Allison and Declan Rice have come back to haunt the Blues. Who will be Boehly's marquee signing to convince the fans that things are truly about to change?
