He may but the consortium that funds it has many prominent British football fans.Yes, Boehly is beginning to look like an owner who lets it go to his head. He took on the DoF/technical director role initially and I'm not sure he appointed a real DoF before spending a quarter billion. While Tuchel is not their appointment, this seems like panic.
And yet they let him spend £300,000,000 as part of the strategy? Football really is in its own little world isn’t it?

I don’t know. But he doesn’t seem like the sort of bloke that would go along with it quietly if the club was recruiting players he didn’t want.Did he have a say in what players came in?

Fingers crossed you are right. Going by the way Conte reportedly persuaded Levy to dig deep before agreeing to come to us he'd probably also want certain guarantees about player recruitment before switching across to West London.Before he got sacked conte fell out with the board cause they bought players he didn't want. They just did the same to tuchel. Can't see him wanting to go back.

But the bottom line is, money talks, and Cheatski seem to have more than enough barrowloads of it to practically guarantee the trophies that Conte hankers after.
Yes I know. But of course these things are seldom straightforward so there could still be a few twists and turns to come before we see white smoke.They're in talks with potter anyway.
Potter will be good for them, unfortunately
Maybe. But Chelsea's new owner sounds like an absolute nutjob. I'm sure he'll brick the bed at some point.
He’s clearly playing DoF too.
That would have been pretty damn sweet for so many reasons!You're probably right. Seems boehly wanted ronaldo but tuchel said no.
Graham Potter has agreed to become Chelsea’s new head coach. The club were determined to appoint the Brighton & Hove Albion manager after he impressed during a positive meeting on Wednesday and he is set to sign a five-year contract.
Potter has now verbally agreed to replace Thomas Tuchel, the Champions League-winning German who was sacked on Wednesday morning. The appointment of the 47-year-old represents a significant shift of direction by the west London club’s new owners.
Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali, the co-controlling owners of Chelsea, are understood to have been hugely impressed by Potter and believe he fits their long-term vision for the club.
