Chaos at Chelsea: A high-risk, $1.3B spending spree has left the club fractured and vulnerable
Chelsea under their American investors will be a fascinating case study about running a soccer club. Because no one in England or beyond has ever seen anything like what has been happening at Stamford Bridge over the last two years. Just take this in: Chelsea has spent nearly $1.3 billion on 39 players across five transfer windows since a consortium fronted by Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the Premier League club from its long-time owner, Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, for $3.2 billion in May 2022. Throw in the club having four different full-time managers in this period — plus another coach on a temporary basis — and the revolving door at Chelsea, a six-time English champion and two-time European champion, simply hasn't stopped spinning.
