Chelsea's new front-facing co-owner is already doing all he can to put himself on the scene. Todd Boehly's early remit since taking charge of the club has been to launch himself willingly into an alien interim sporting director role, in tandem with familiarising himself with the European football market.
The America businessman has taken another step to become entangled with the right bodies as well, taking it upon himself to organise an informal dinner for other Premier League executives, writes The Athletic.
Alongside Behdad Eghbali, the co-founder of Clearlake Capital, Chelsea have been big actors so far in the transfer market without making the desired moves, to this point. Their bold approach has been commented upon by experienced directors and negotiators within the market as impressive. However, he has a big two weeks ahead in order to get a similar reaction out of Thomas Tuchel.
The German has cut an increasingly frustrated figure on Chelsea's tour of the USA, and is demanding that he receives more additions to his squad quickly, otherwise they might not be prepared for the league opener against Everton in less than two weeks, he has warned.
Although transfer business won't be at the top of the menu for Boehly's meal, that not all other 19 clubs could attend, though it is reported that the grand gesture has gone down well nonetheless. The executives were already due to meet for the annual shareholders meeting and Boehly has taken things a step further with his event invitation open to all.
Although not a breakthrough action, Boehly's desire to be a big part of Chelsea's public decisions is a stark change from Roman Abramovich's ownership, where not only was he a mystery background member, his key senior officials, Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck, also rarely made any public appearances.
This highlights Boehly's wider grand plan at Stamford Bridge. The 48-year-old already has ideas to restructure the club's recruitment, marketing, stadium plans and internal business model as he attempts to revolutionise the club. The LA Dodgers co-owner has already made a favourable impression on Chelsea fans and his continued attempts to demonstrate his actions and have a clear forward-facing plan is admirable, especially during a time in which the on-field preparation is looking behind schedule.
Chelsea have already spent £80m this summer but could reasonably have to treble that in order to completely reset their squad this summer.

Some fans can be very naive.. This man has already saved Chelsea from sinking or you want him to sink now in return. The man is doing his best 💯. All his targets are superb just that they don’t want to come to Chelsea. He cannot use a rope and tie players to Chelsea🙄
He’s not doing anything he’s just paying the media don’t be deceived please, look at city and psg the way they sign players they don’t linger, they don’t waste time they pay and go, CFC under boehly has just been a media scene he’s not swift in actions just too much noise he’s not on the same level as Roman abramovich at all I don’t see him taking us anywhere, if you remember when Roman bought CFC from scraps he was swift with his acquisitions but this guy is just here for the fame. Too much noise no action, Dull ownership

What the hell he suppose to do by blaming the man who is always ready to buy all the stars the team want without hesitation... Blaming Toddy is just showing how others lack the understanding of what the business of soccer is all about... What can you do if you propose a woman and a woman opt for another man - will that mean you are scared of women -? Bieng a fan with uncivilized mind is always a problem because you will not understand even one thing...😂😂

This new Chelsea owners are not serious at all... other clubs have finished everything about signing players and now focus on training harder to fully prepare for upcoming season which is less than two weeks from now while Chelsea are not yet to sign new players. How can you sign players when season have started already and expect them to blend with old players soon.... We really missed Roman Abrahimovich

Never share contacts on social applications, if you want to do this I'd recommend you use Line, because it only requires you to use ID's and Usernames for groups and adding friends
