William Gallas has urged Todd Boehly take a step back and allow the management team to formulate a comprehensive transfer strategy with the next Chelsea manager. The American billionaire appointed himself as interim sporting director following after the takeover, spending over £250million on players in the summer.
Boehly welcomed Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling, Carney Chukwuemeka, Marc Cucurella, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kalidou Koulibaly to Cobham – but now three of those face increasingly uncertain futures at the club.
Having taken a back seat after appointing Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley as co-sporting directors, Boehly has still been spotted beelining for the home changing room after games at Stamford Bridge.
