Todd Boehly's plan to build a Chelsea squad for the future has taken its first steps over the past year, with a whole host of signings made to kickstart the new era at Stamford Bridge. So far on the pitch, some of the chaos from such quick work behind the scenes appears to have rubbed off.
The side currently sit tenth in the Premier League with just two wins in their last 15, mounting pressure on manager Graham Potter. The overarching message at this stage has been to trust the process, with the new ideas from the ownership taking time to build in and become successful.
"There is support and, of course, I've spoken to them," Potter said when asked about a meeting with the owners. "But I'm not going to hide behind that. The results haven't been good enough for us and I'm responsible for that. When you're a coach, if the results are good you accept the criticism and noise that comes with it. My job is to stay with the team, stay focused, try to prepare the team as well as I can, and win the game tomorrow."
