I pray Todd Boehly gives this manager a chance because it is difficult for a team to be transformed in a season.

I don't think Todd is one to give managers time, that is why i am worried for Maresca that he won't last longer than this season, though for his sake i wish i turn out to be wrong. Chelsea does not look like a team that will be successful this season, there are a lot of things that still needs fixing in their team and i don't think their new manager is the man to fix it. Chelsea's transfer business is appalling, they are not buying the right players for their team, and they are definitely going to struggle again this season.

About buying players, I don’t think they are buying players to utilize now they are merely investing in their future and they believe they have more than enough players already for the main team and most of those players will probably be loaned out until they are matured enough to either join the main team or be marketed and sold for a higher price. I think the management is merely after profit they can make from player sales.
Earlier before appointing Enzo Maresca he made it known that he wants to build Chelsea in a way similar to Arsenal using young players with a coach that can improve their style of play and i think it was why he sacked Pochettino and brought in Maresca so i have faith that he will give Maresca the chance to build his team and he may be around for more than a season.

But will the fans understand his motives because it has been long that Chelsea won the title and I believe the same old fans that are use to celebrating Chelsea's victory as title winners are still the same people and they are eager to see that Chelsea comes back to its best performance in order for them to win the league. If Todd wants to turn Chelsea to an academy school then it means that he might lose his fans who will not like such decisions. It is not by buying young players but buying talented young players that can add impact to the club should incase some of the first eleven players are injured. I hop that his new plans work out for him in the long run.

I would say that Chelsea are in dire straits right now. Basically Chelsea's woes have started since the change of ownership. And since then Chelsea's condition is more weak and shaky due to various bad decisions of Chelsea management. This team failed to perform well consistently. Despite changing the coach several times, Chelsea did not get any benefit.

For these reasons I think Chelsea should start planning for the long term now. Last season we saw the Chelsea management put pressure on every coach to improve the team quickly. But rapid improvement is not possible for Chelsea. I would say if Mourinho was given enough time by the Chelsea management, he could have turned the whole team around. New coach Enzo Maresca will definitely have to give the Chelsea management enough time. Otherwise it is not possible to stabilize this group. Chelsea management must be patient.
