Chelsea set for further upheaval as Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital sanction move

Chelsea president of business Tom Glick is reportedly set to leave the club.

The Times report that the club's owners, the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital partnership, are on the verge of making changes to Chelsea's hierarchy. Chris Jurasek, who has connections to Clearlake Capital, is poised to become the Blues' new chief executive with a brief of growing the club's commercial activity.

More changes could be on the horizon with Glick's departure the first of those despite the former Derby County and Manchester City executive only arriving ten months ago when the club was taken over. The Blues have endured a torrid season on the pitch with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter sacked, leaving interim head coach Frank Lampard to see out the season which will end in a finish no higher than 11th in the Premier League.

"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," Boehly said earlier this month. "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." Boehly and Clearlake have spoken of their desire to grow the club's revenues to try and close the gap to the teams above them.

Their plan is to expand the club's commercial arm and they may also have plans for the matchday experience with the future of the club's home ground, Stamford Bridge, uncertain. Tottenham Hotspur have recently completed their new stadium project and have more revenue streams than ever thanks to deals with the NFL and Formula 1.
