Chelsea had to settle for a point from the first game of the Todd Boehly era with a tight and narrow 2-2 draw with Wolves in the Premier League. Boehly, whose bid has been accepted by Chelsea but who now must wait for approval from the Premier League and UK Government, would have learnt a lot from what he saw from Thomas Tuchel's side on Saturday afternoon.
Boehly and his consortium saw confirmation of their £4billion agreement announced early on Saturday. A statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.
"Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100% to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.
