Chelsea's blues continue with ownership row

No sooner had another turbulent transfer window for Chelsea shut than reports emerged of a power struggle between chairman Todd Boehly and majority shareholder Behdad Eghbali.

In just over two years since the pair joined forces to buy the Blues, the English Premier League club have spent more than £1 billion (S$1.7 billion) on a bloated squad with little to show for it.

Ahead of Chelsea's league trip to Bournemouth on Sept 14, here is a look at the current state of the twotime European champions.

BATTLE FOR THE BRIDGE

Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Boehly was the face of a 2022 takeover of the club but the vast majority of the £2.5 billion purchase came from Eghbali's private equity group Clearlake Capital.

After Boehly's brief stint as the club's sporting director during the first six months, Eghbali has become the most hands-on figure within the ownership group.

The relationship between the pair is said to have deteriorated in recent months, with differing opinions over the club's recruitment policy, poor results and the failure to make progress on the building of a new stadium.
