In a situation like this, the first question that comes to mind of all the club’s supporters is who is Todd and does he have what it takes to become their club owner?

However, Chelsea fans should be less worried about this, because in Boehly they’ve got a very rich man with wider administrative experiences and more knowledge about sports.
