If you have spent any time listening to interviews with Todd Boehly in the past year or have read about his work transforming Major League Baseball franchise the Los Angeles Dodgers as a co-owner, you get a sense this is a shrewd and measured operator.
The idea of a "fool-proof", "perfect", or even "utopian" solution for Chelsea fans here is probably a foolish line of enquiry. What is more beneficial is looking at the track record of those reportedly interested in buying Chelsea from Roman Abramovich. How are they viewed? What is their experience in owning top sports clubs, if they have any? What is the experience of those who support clubs they own?
What places Boehly above the rest of his fellow US contenders is the assured nods you get from those who know the Dodgers' success. There are no hoards of opinion pieces begging Chelsea not to sell to him. There are no previous scandals or leaked emails that would pose difficult questions from the get-go.
