Todd Boehly's reaction after the game against Everton showed it all. Candid frustration after he saw his team once more fail to win. Walking down the steet outside Stamford Bridge following the 2-2 draw he let his mask as happy-go-lucky owner slip.
"S*** f****** game!" he said to a fan passing him. Perhaps refreshing to see such honesty and transparency, perhaps a warning that things aren't all well at Chelsea - no surprise there. Boehly is a man that hasn't had things go the way he would have liked. There should be little shock with this though.
What he inherited was not a club at the peak of English football, despite becoming the chair of the reigning world and European champions. Chelsea's model, structure and recent decision making was not one of a club in prime position to swiftly takeover the modern game.
