1. Top figures who were influential during the Roman Abramovich era have departed. Marina Granovskaia and Peter Cech have opted out of Chelsea.
The club has not assigned new people to take up their roles at the club, this may happen in the future. A big football club like will need competent people to manage the day-to-day activities of the club.
2. The influence of Thomas Tuchel has grown massively under the new owners. Todd Boehly wants to assemble a formidable team just like Manchester City and Liverpool.
The recruitment policy of these clubs is to sign only players demanded by the club. Todd Boehly has stayed committed to signing players that are suitable to Thomas Tuchel’s tactics. This will help to prevent making expensive errors just like the Romelu Lukaku transfer saga.
3. During the era of Roman Abramovich, Chelsea avoided giving players above 30 on a long-duration contract. This policy has changed under Todd Boehly, the performance of Thiago Silva may have contributed to the changed policy.
