Todd Boehly tried to bring good luck to Chelsea for a second time over the weekend, going to Selhurst Park to watch the women's side in their Continental Cup final against Arsenal. Having watched the men's side win at home to Leeds United on Saturday, the American co-owner stayed in London to cast his eyes over Emma Hayes' side, but it didn't quite go to plan.
He hasn't been much of a good luck charm for the Blues men's team recently, seeing Potter's team lose to Tottenham last Sunday and also attending several games on the run of form as bad as anything in the past 30 years of the club. With pressure mounting on Potter to get results, Boehly's presence watching Hayes' team play is a continuation of his dream, but it wasn't to be as Chelsea fell to a 3-1 defeat at a sold-out Selhurst Park.
In the initial takeover statement it was said: "In addition, the proposed new owners will commit £1.75bn in further investment for the benefit of the Club. This includes investments in Stamford Bridge, the Academy, the Women’s Team and Kingsmeadow and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation."
