This is not only the case for this season but in the last few seasons they have always spent more budget in the matter of player transfers because when the new coach came Todd did not mess around in facilitating to bring in players, it's just that the results were not really what they expected which in the end they could not get feedback because the results of the competition were not comparable to what they spent at the beginning because their transfers were not very good and seemed to waste money on players whose performance became ordinary.
This season they and Maresca will do it again where the transfers that will be made will clearly exceed several other big clubs but for performance problems we still have to wait whether the decisions made by Todd this time are right or just end up the same with the lack of results and performance that does not increase as before. But as much as possible Maresca at this time should be able to achieve an expectation in accordance with the expectations because after all even though Todd's money is a lot but if every season they always lose heavily then in the end they could go bankrupt and lose their money.
I think that if Chelsea wants to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season, Todd Boehly must invest heavily to buy more players in the 2024 summer transfer period to help Maresca meet all the elements for Chelsea to compete for the title. In the upcoming 2024 summer transfer window, Chelsea should prioritize adding experienced players instead of young talents. The immaturity in the squad prevented Chelsea from maintaining stability throughout the season. If you are concerned about the possibility of violating the Financial Fair Play Law, Chelsea will be forced to sell the "surplus people". Like central midfielder Conor Gallagher, striker Armando Broja, Romelu Lukaku, left-back Maatsen, centec-back Trevoh Chalobah, and many more names. With this amount of money, Todd Boehly can afford Maresca to comfortably recruit quality stars to add to the squad as well as avoid violating financial fairness.This season they and Maresca will do it again where the transfers that will be made will clearly exceed several other big clubs but for performance problems we still have to wait whether the decisions made by Todd this time are right or just end up the same with the lack of results and performance that does not increase as before.

The 2022/2023 season they spent more than 600 million on player purchases and the 2023/204 season they spent nearly 500 million on season transfers.

By looking at this, we should realize that the problem of Chelsea is not from players but management that is not good at managing and utilizing the resources owned. If they buy again and again without any progress isn't it just going to spend the budget they have in the end.
We must know that not always they have to use money to achieve a good thing because however much money they have but when management is less able to maximize it then the results will remain the same and that happened to Chelsea in the last 2 seasons.
