Todd Boehly and Chelsea owners considering radical Stamford Bridge plan

Todd Boehly hasn’t been afraid to make the headlines with his decision-making and future plans during his near-year in charge of Chelsea. However, his most radical proposal for the club could still be to come, as the hierarchy seeks to transform the oldest stadium in the Premier League.

Together with Behdad Eghbali, Boehly is reportedly considering knocking down the famous old stadium as part of an ambitious £1.5billion project. Having opened back in 1877, Chelsea have called Stamford Bridge their home since the club was formed in 1905, with countless memories made there across more than a century of football.

However, it appears the new owners are keen on demolishing the ground to make way for their expensive vision. As the Telegraph reports, Boehly and Eghbali are claimed to want their club playing in one of the best stadiums in Europe.
