Todd Boehly has been urged to expand Stamford Bridge to ensure that the club aren't left behind. Since 2003, when Roman Abramovich took over the club, the Premier League's top sides have all moved ground or renovated with the exception of Manchester United.
The 44,000 capacity at SW6 is nothing to be sniffed at, plus the historic feel of the ground has created a connection for the fans, but from a business perspective it is not viable. Boehly and his fellow co-owners have ambitions to make the Blues a £1bn revenue and that will need major adaptions to the current stadium.
It has been in the pipeline for over a decade with Abramovich making moves on several occassions to relocate the club's home ground or explore options of redevelopment but nothing is yet to happen. With Tottenham completing a move to their new ground in 2019, Liverpool renovating Anfield, Manchester City doing the same at the Etihad Stadium and more across the country, the attention is now on Boehly/Clearlake.
