What will happen to Chelsea if Todd Boehly secures Stamford Bridge to Earl's Court stadium move

If Todd Boehly want to move Chelsea from Stamford Bridge then the process won't be easy. A stadium move, renovation or change of any sort is always complex, but with the SW6 ground it is perhaps even more so than usual.

Not only is the home ground penned in by houses on one side and Fulham Broadway tube station on the other, the club have historically struggled to get permission to expand the current set-up. That isn't the only issue facing the new ownership group though as Stamford Bridge forms one of the pillars of their promise to improve the club.

Roman Abramovich attempted throughout his time to get the stadium improved and also held talks to move the home ground elsewhere but nothing came to fruition. As Boehly and Clearlake attempt to increase the revenue of the club, upgrading the 44,000 seater capacity is part of that.
