Things haven't got much better this time around, with Mauricio Pochettino's side in 11th despite another significant outlay back in the summer.

Unsurprisingly, Boehly has therefore been on the receiving end of significant fan anger, with derogatory, expletive-laden chants often heard during games at Stamford Bridge.

'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,' Boehly told Forbes when breaking his silence on the club's struggles.

'The good news is people care so much. And the bad news is people care so much.
