The American billionaire's departure changes little in the Stamford Bridge boardroom as Clearlake Capital was already the majority owner and guiding force. Boehly, Walter, and Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss held an equal 38.5% stake but had become irrelevant since the BlueCo consortium purchased Chelsea for £2.5 billion in 2022.
The exit could have implications for the club's stadium plans, though Boehly leaves football as a diminished figure compared to his ambitious entry into the sport. esporist.org
