Boehly oversaw Chelsea’s eight January player acquisitions, which included the £296 million acquisition of Enzo Fernandez.
Potter’s team drew 0-0 with Fulham in a Premier League game on Friday night at Stamford Bridge, failing to defeat Fulham in the process.
The Premier League is not Football Manager, however, as Merson recently informed Boehly, adding that it will take time until the performances and results improve.

It will take time because there are many different languages and players who have played for their clubs in a variety of ways during their careers.
It depends on Todd Boehly’s capacity for patience.
