Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has sacked long-serving head groundsman Jason Griffin plus his assistant and son Reisse, Daily Mail has confirmed.

Griffin has been at Chelsea for over 30 years. He became head groundsman in 2003 and led a team that included Reisse, who had held the assistant grounds manager position, and ran into double figures.

They were responsible for looking after the club’s playing surfaces and grounds at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s Cobham training ground and Kingsmeadow where their women’s and youth team sides play, earning industry acknowledgement for some of their work along the way. 

Since Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought Chelsea from Roman Abramovich, wholesale changes have been made in numerous areas of the club including the hierarchy, coaching, playing, medical and now grounds staff.

    Useless owner, very wrong priorities. Potter should be fired smiles will come back at Chelsea. Potter is stubborn and a very bad man who doesn’t care about Chelsea If he cares he could have resigned and allow better coaches to take over

  16. That is wrong in whatever occasion
    Potter is the big idiot who should be the one.
    Since i began supporting Chelsea what’s going this season has never happened.

    Is it that the owner does not have money to pay potter after sacking him or he is afraid of him. Why destroying bridge that took many years to build.

    After this season i see all players looking for away iut of Chelsea if things remains this way , once Chelsea is out of champions league what’s next ? A new beginning of premiership then after one month , you see players signing out of Chelsea

  19. Please boss don’t tell us that up to now you haven’t investigated where is the problem of your team.

  20. Potter is the cause of all the problems we have been facing since you become the owner. So please don’t blame others and yet you know where the problems are…????????????????

  21. Chelsea’s main problem is that plain brain Graham Potter,look at Everton substitutes he made how can bring English players only on pitch,likes of loftus check he is not Chelsea quality player at all,now Toddy be wise if you don’t have

    • As for me l dont understand his philosophy how can u subsitute Pulisic and bring on Gallagher thats shows that the Coach doesn’t have a solid strategy
