Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital\u2019s BlueCo consortium bought the club from Abramovich in 2022. Boehly made himself the subject of dressing-room ridicule the following year, when he addressed the squad after a defeat by Brighton and told the players the season had become \u201cembarrassing\u201d.<\/p>\n
Boehly, co-owner Behdad Eghbali and the club\u2019s sporting directors still make regular trips to the Chelsea dressing-room at the end of games to congratulate the team or offer their support. Learning from Boehly\u2019s mistake, the owners have since avoided making big speeches.<\/p>\n
Talking last week at CAA\u2019s World Congress of Sports event in Los Angeles, Eghbali said: \u201cIt\u2019s easy to support when you win. It\u2019s harder when you\u2019re struggling. So the intent [of entering the dressing-room] is to say \u2018hey, good match\u2019 and just show you\u2019re there for your club, your coach and your players. And I think it\u2019s something we\u2019ve done win, lose or draw just to support that. There\u2019s no big speech. We\u2019ll leave that to the coach. It\u2019s just \u2018good luck, hard luck\u2019 or whatever it is. \u2018Sorry, tough game\u2019. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n
James and Mois\u00e9s Caicedo have reaffirmed their commitment to the BlueCo project by signing new contracts<\/a>, but the sacking of Rosenior has placed renewed scrutiny on the running of the club.<\/p>\n
