Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly believes he will figure it out having “learned a lot” after a disastrous season.

“It is such a global sport (football). Unlike in the US, there are no unions. So there is a market for top players for every country in the world. And each one of those markets is different. You got the Portuguese market, the France market, the English market. You have to build a team and obviously the coach is the conductor of the team. So I think there is a lot we have learned,” he stated in conversation with Milken Institute chairman, Michael Milken in Beverley Hills.

“The fans are demanding. You know they want to win and we get that we want to win so you know I think our view though was that this is a long-term project and you know we’re committed to the long-term. We very much believe that we’re going to figure it out. We’ve got the best league in the world, we’ve got what I think is the top city in the world and we’ve got an unbelievable location in the top city in the world.”
