Todd Boehly perhaps faces the biggest decision he has had to make in his brief spell as Chelsea chairman. In the midst of a wretched run that has seen the Blues notch up just two wins in 16 matches, Boehly remains intent on giving manager Graham Potter sufficient time in turning the side’s fortunes around.
However, patience can only last so long, especially when more than £300m worth of talent was invested into the playing staff in January alone. Supporters’ ire will not help matters, with the majority now seemingly wanting change in the dugout.
With each winless game that passes, Boehly’s loyalty in the current project could start to wane. However, ex-Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has urged the owner to trust his instincts and stick with Potter if he has faith in him.
