Since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over Chelsea, the club has faced significant challenges, struggling to secure silverware and missing out on Champions League qualification.

However, Boehly remains optimistic about the club’s long-term trajectory and insists Chelsea is already worth more than the amount they initially paid.

Speaking about the broader vision for Chelsea, Boehly dismissed the idea that recent results should be the sole measure of success.

“It’s not really a derivative of didn’t win last year or didn’t win this year. This is a club that just celebrated its 120-year anniversary. I would say ‘yes’ it’s more valuable than what we paid.”

Despite Chelsea’s recent difficulties, Boehly is confident that the club is well-positioned for future growth, particularly due to its global appeal. He believes that football offers unique opportunities for international expansion, something that differentiates it from American sports.

“The trend is our friend in this industry. The opportunity to grow the fan base around the world because unlike American sports, we have the ability to grow internationally and build our own revenue base on that international fan base. I think the opportunity is enormous and the Premier League is sitting in a great place.”

However, while Boehly acknowledges the enormous potential of Chelsea, he also admits that the increasing competitiveness of the Premier League is both a challenge and an advantage.

He went on: “One of the frustrating things as Chelsea owner is the Premier League has become so competitive. But one of the great things about being in the Premier League is it has gotten so competitive.”

Despite the struggles on the pitch, Boehly’s comments suggest he remains fully committed to Chelsea’s long-term success, focusing on global growth and financial stability rather than short-term setbacks.
