According to former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, Todd Boehly was friendly and complimentary when they first met following the takeover from Roman Abramovich. The first time the pair sat down and spoke at length with one another was after the final defeat to Liverpool FA Cup.
Speaking after the 6-5 loss on penalties, Tuchel said: "We had lunch together, but it was in a room with everybody like players and staff. It was friendly and open, a very informal meeting over lunch for half an hour or 40 minutes.
"We didn't go into details. It was not the moment only to get a feeling and say hello. We talked more about baseball, but when the moment is right, we will share our opinions in more detail in the next weeks."
