Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly is set to significantly reduce the time he spends on running the club at the end of a season in which more than half a billion pounds was invested on new players only for the team to finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table
Boehly and a group also featuring the US-based Clearlake Capital investment fund will celebrate one year as owners of the Stamford Bridge club next week - but it has not turned out as planned.
After sacking Thomas Tuchel early in the season, the appointment of Graham Potter as head coach did not work out and their form has tailed off further with Frank Lampard in interim charge to ensure the club will finish in its lowest position for 29 years.
