Todd Boehly already preparing for new season as fresh Chelsea problem approaches fast

Todd Boehly's ability to own multiple sports clubs across the world and have success with each is set to be tested to new limits. The American businessman made Chelsea his second major sports investment last summer when he partnered with Clearlake Capital to purchase the then reigning world and European champions.

Since then he has hardly been out of the news. Taking on the mantle as an interim director of football, going on whirlwind tours of the continent in search of transfer targets, new contacts and directors to add to the Blues' portfolio, Boehly has been busy.

Between the consortium headed by Clearlake's money - with Behdad Eghbali the public facing figure from that - there is other interest and input from Hansjorg Wyss as well. It has seen over £600m spent on new players, a managerial change, complete reset of backroom and directoral staff as well as steps taken to solve the Stamford Bridge capacity issue.
