I think Todd Boehly might have underestimated the task to bring Chelsea to the top. Obviously, he really thought that money can fix everything, but he has enough good examples to look at and see that it is not the case. PSG is one example and if they played in the Premier League, they would probably not win it. Manchester City has one of the best, if not the best manager in the world with Guardiola and he understands so much about soccer that he can provide the club with info on all fronts in terms of the sport. Boehly did some experiments and it didn't work out. There are articles where he says that he wants the leagues to function the American style and maybe that is one of his problems. He is entering new terrain and things work a bit differently in Europe.

His intention this season was indeed not wrong because regardless of anything he also wanted conditions where Chelsea played directly with the best conditions after a very big problem occurred internally at Chelsea so he wanted to fix it quickly with the money he had but in this case nor did he realize that his haste could get him into trouble in the end.
Todd's way of things is like a gamble and when he's on the wrong foot then the season is at stake. this was proven when actually Tuchel's dismissal seemed very hasty as well. several purchases of players that do not match the portion of needs because they are based on the desire to destroy them and this must be taken into consideration so that he thinks more about all kinds of consequences for himself in the future so that Chelsea's performance is much better than this season.

Right and I mean there is nothing wrong per se when you dismiss a coach although I still don't understand it, but when you dismiss Tuchel you also have to have a proper replcement of the same calibre. That was the biggest problem I saw. They dismiss Tuchel and then bring on a name that I almost never heard of I think, then they buy loads of players with big names and then the coach hasn't even ever coached any big names. The whole concept seemed to be faulty right from the start and that surprised me because the guy has all the money in the world and he could have contracted not only players, but also top advisors and a top coach accordingly. He wanted to prove something that he wasn't capable of doing. Now we know the result and this is going to take at least a year to correct.
