Chelsea fans will love ‘extraordinary’ ownership news – ‘Can’t come soon enough’, says Kieran Maguire
Todd Boehly has “failed to deliver success” as Chelsea chairman so fans will be eager to see him step down in 2027.
That is the view of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who spoke exclusively to Football Insider about Chelsea’s ownership structure and decision to change chairman.
As revealed by the Daily Mail, Chelsea have an “extraordinary” agreement in place that allows the club to exchange chairmanship every five years.
Boehly is expected to step down in 2027, allowing majority shareholders Clearlake Capital to assign a new club chief for the following five years.

Co-owners Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano could nominate themselves to become chairman at Stamford Bridge or hire an individual for the role.
Maguire slammed Boehly for causing a “breakdown in relationship” with the fanbase during a “mediocre” stint as chairman.
“The written agreement that Clearlake Capital have in terms of their investment with Chelsea is that Todd Boehly will step down as chairman,” Maguire told Football Insider’s Sean Fisher.
“He is taking much more of a backseat role.
“I think it’s fair to say that the first 12 to 18 months of his position as chairman has been mediocre at best.
“He has failed to deliver success on the pitch, has spent money in a haphazard manner and has caused a breakdown in relationship with fans.
“I would imagine for fans, 2027 can’t come soon enough.“
