'Bad news' - Todd Boehly speaks out on Mauricio Pochettino issues in key message to Chelsea fans

Todd Boehly has vowed to remain patient with the current Chelsea project, insisting he expects improvements will follow with time.

The Blues have endured a torrid time under the ownership of the American since he took control of the club two years, slumping to a 12th-placed finish last season and now look certain to miss out of European football once again.

Boehly has overseen spending in excess of £1billion during his reign, bringing in players such as Moises Caicedo andEnzo Fernandez, but has received little reward for his significant financial backing.

Though aware of this lack of progress, Boehly has refused to become impatient and believes success can soon arrive once many of the club's players have been afforded the time to settle to their surroundings.

“We just need to let the process develop and give them the time to go from being unbelievable individual players with great skills to fold into a team," the 50-year-old told Forbes.

«The good news is people care so much. And the bad news is people care so much. That leads to times when they’re frustrated with the team and the owners. I get that, but we just have to continue to stay the course.”
