Boehly hints Chelsea ownership struggles in discussions about potential reconstruction of Stamford Bridge

Todd Boehly suggested that Chelsea’s ownership structure could change if there is no consensus on the future of Stamford Bridge.

The club’s leadership is currently evaluating whether to redevelop its historic home or move to a new location, and the Earl Court is seen as a potential alternative.

The limited space for massive construction in London complicates the decision.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Boehly hinted that discussions around the stadium program could determine the long-term dynamics of Chelsea ownership.

“We have to think about what we want to accomplish over the long term,” Boehly said.

The reconstruction or relocation of Stamford Bridge is an important project, and Clearlake Capital, a majority owner of Chelsea, reportedly committed to achieving that.

todd Boehly told Bloomberg: “If you look at what’s actually happening in Chelsea, you’ll see core stability”.

However, if an agreement cannot be reached, it may lead to disagreements among the club’s co-owners.

Boehly added: “We have a big stadium development opportunity and we have to enrich it. It will be where we either stay consistent or we ultimately decide to take a different approach.”

Tensions between the ownership groups have been reported since the start of the season, with both sides previously expressing interest in potential purchases from each other.

Asked about his position on selling the club stake, Boli replied: “I think the status quo is good. I think we’ve got what we’ve learned from each other. And, I think we can really solve it in any way.”

Despite past differences, Boli stressed that Chelsea’s leadership still unifies their vision for the club, citing their current position in the Premier League as evidence of their progress.

“If you look at the team’s development, we’re already aligned with what we’re trying to do and what we’re trying to build,” he said. “It’s a young team, it’s a team with a long-term contract, and all that’s new.”
