As Chelsea officially announces the club have reached a final and definitive agreement with Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital consortium, it's time to close a chapter in what has been such a successful era for the Blues.
It's a bitter-sweet ending to the Roman Abramovich era. Whilst many of us fans are grateful for his time with the club, there is also an understanding as to why things had to happen this way. As a millennium fan, I have not known an era without Abramovich. For others, they witnessed a rocky Ken Bates era before the consistent run of glory days.
With five Premier Leagues, five FA Cups, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, three League cup titles, a Club World Cup, and a Super Cup we close this chapter and hope for an even more successful future with Todd Boehly at the wheel.
