Despite overhauling the recruitment department since the summer, with influential figures Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech moving on, Chelsea might not be done yet. The club have only just finalised the structure of their new look team consisting of Christopher Vivell, Laurence Stewart, Joe Shields and Paul Winstanley.
That group are now in charge of ensuring that the Todd Boehly-Clearlake Capital axis has more of a forward thinking plan and model than they ended up inheriting last year. The Blues have lacked such a pathway for years now and have fallen behind on the science of recruiting and aligning the club as a whole.
It's partially why there has been such a large level of turnover across the club in the 10 months since changing hands. The new team are in place now though and are well under way in terms of planning for the summer and years to come.
