Plenty has been made of Todd Boehly and Chelsea's attempts to play things differently to most in the past nine months. Be it deemed scattergun, uninformed or outright disrespectful, the approach has ruffled feathers in almost every camp.
Fellow clubs are frustrated at the spending tactics or lack thereof in the eyes of many. Pundits are baffled by the sheer volume of players acumulated and fans of opposition clubs are laughing whilst the immediate results worsen. The gambles taken so far are yet to pay off and it reflects poorly on the new owners.
Having seen American tycoons come into other sides and be less visible, involved and out there, Boehly/Clearlake's public stance is brash, bold and largely unpopular. It is still results on the field that dictate how Chelsea fans feel overall but the transition has been far from smooth from the previous regime to now.
