The mood around Todd Boelhy’s Chelsea is already so very different to the ridiculous regime under Roman Abramovich.
Distant, disconnected and, at times, farcical with his perpetual human ring of steel to belie his ‘man of the people’ spin, Abramovich was nothing of the kind. Fans during that spell obviously couldn’t care less as he financed signings and bankrolled success in the Premier League, Europa League and Champions League.
But Boelhy is already giving off signs of being an even more complete package. Rock up at the Chelsea team hotel here in Beverly Hills and you aren’t greeted with the kind of absurdity that so often surrounded Abramovich.
