Todd Boehly is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. Chelsea fans have spoken, their voices have been heard - they always are. Everyone knows what comes next.
From the side of the River Thames with stops at the Olympic Park and even a journey to Germany, Stamford Bridge was united in the culmination of the chorus of boos on Saturday. The collective yearning of 40,000 fans that know when they come out in force they usually get what they want.
For years the reaction of these fans has been just days, sometimes hours, ahead of Roman Abramovich's constantly twitching trigger finger. Nobody knows the club better than the faithful supporters and under Abramovich they aligned through Jose Mourinho, eventually embracing true chaos in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The model that followed has become engrained in Chelsea's name and culture.
