Struggling Chelsea star Raheem Sterling has demanded that co-owner Todd Boehly let the club's new manager have "the final say on everything."
The Blues remain without a permanent boss, as Chelsea legend Frank Lampard takes the reins on an interim basis until the end of what's been a torrid first season at the club for Sterling. Having left champions Manchester City last July for £47.5million, the England international, 28, has bared witness to the chaos around Stamford Bridge which has left his team 12th in the Premier League table.
Within a year of his consortium succeeding disgraced Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich in a £4.25billion takeover, Boehly has spent £600million on new signings, sacked two managers, and meddled with a host of footballing decisions, despite having no previous experience in the sport. The American, no stranger to scrutiny, has now been told by Sterling what liberties to give the Blues' next manager, which is set to be Mauricio Pochettino as talks continue after Chelsea cut down their shortlist of candidates.
