Todd Boehly has new money-saving Chelsea transfer plan after $421m Roman Abramovich failure

Todd Boehly is set to overhaul one of the remaining pillars of Roman Abramovich's Chelsea with a major transfer policy reshuffle. The new owners have already changed most other things from the previous regime including managers, players, recruitment staff, directors, physios and groundsmen.

Having also spent over £600m ($751.9m) in the process, more than Abramovich ever splashed out across two windows, the Boehly-Clearlake Capital ownership are under immense scrutiny and pressure to get results turning on the pitch. They are currently searching for a third permanent manager in less than 12-months and have seen the side drop out of the top four, too.

While doing that they have managed to only further bloat an already packed squad, buying 18 players across the season, ranging from teenagers to 33-year-olds. Very few have so far come off with the scattergun and ever-changing approach to new signings only contributing to the unsettled and disjointed feeling at Cobham.
