A new era awaits Chelsea! Tuchel could be a key part of the future. What are the plans and what to expect?

Chelsea already knows the new owners. The club will be owned by American billionaire Todd Boehly and his consortium. The deal is expected to be officially completed at the end of May. As part of the deal, Boehly and his partners have committed to invest heavily in the future of the club. So what are the plans?

The Roman Abramovich era is definitely over. Chelsea have announced that a consortium of American billionaire Todd Boehly will take over the club. In the deal, the new owners have committed to investing £1.75 billion in the club’s future.

One billion pounds would then be invested in running academies to educate not only men but also women. This investment should be made within the first decade of ownership.

Chelsea and a new philosophy?

Roman Abramovich has been the owner of Chelsea for almost 20 years. He certainly did not buy the club for any profit, quite the opposite. He wasn’t afraid to invest and pump money into the club, even if it was never going to come back. He often sacked managers, wanted immediate success and did his best to get it.

But that won’t work under the new owners. On the contrary. The fact is that the consortium that buys Chelsea will be economically somewhat more conservative. It seems that Chelsea will go the way of Liverpool and will not spend huge and meaningless sums on players, but will be mindful of philosophy and conceptual work.

The conceptual work will then be subordinate to the head coach, in this case Thomas Tuchel, who could then immediately work under less pressure and compose his squad with all his own.

It won’t be an easy start

As has already been written, Chelsea’s new owners want to operate somewhat differently to Roman Abramovich. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however, the start will not be easy. With stoppers Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen leaving for free, the future is uncertain for other players as well.

Cesar Azpilicueta, Chelsea’s captain, has only one year left on his contract and has apparently received an offer from Barcelona. The temptation to return to Spain could absolutely destroy Chelsea’s defensive line.

The future of N’Golo Kante and Jorginho, whose contracts expire in a year, is uncertain. Only Mason Mount is under contract at the club until 2024, who would both deserve a better salary and who will definitely be the focus of interest for rival clubs.

Coach Thomas Tuchel then revealed that Romelu Lukaku will be a member of his team next season, but speculation about his departure is growing.

Even without the departure of the Belgian striker, Chelsea’s new owners will have to dig deep into their pockets if the Blues are to keep up with the top of the English league next season.

However, it is possible that the club’s new management will not initially have exaggerated claims of immediate success, thus allowing them to successfully begin conceptual work.

Stamford Bridge redevelopment

Key factor. This is exactly what the potential redevelopment of Chelsea’s sanctuary was for Roman Abramovich in his search for new owners to hand over his ‘toy’ to.

In this regard, Boehly and his consortium did a truly excellent job of contacting several architects who had already been involved in Abramovich’s initial project and presented him with one of the most detailed proposals.

Stamford Bridge now has a capacity of 40,834 seats, it is the ninth largest stadium in England. Chelsea, however, would like to get closer to its rivals, who have bigger shrines.

But there is a catch. The land is not owned by the club and planning permission to expand the capacity to 60,000 seats expired two years ago. Moving to Wembley is then out of the question.

It is therefore likely that each stand will be rebuilt in turn. There is to be £1 billion earmarked for the redevelopment.
