Co-owner Todd Boehly reiterates that he has no doubts that Chelsea will become successful under the current stewardship.

Co-owner Todd Boehly has backed Chelsea to become a success under the current stewardship.

When a consortium headed by Boehly took over the Blues almost a year ago, they soon set about attempting to make sweeping changes to the club.

That has involved a wide array of new signings - both experienced and youth - as well as making numerous high-profile alterations in the dugout and behind the scenes.

The end result has been Chelsea enduring their worst campaign since the nineties, the West Londoners down in 12th position in the Premier League standings and without European football for next season.

Chelsea are expected to eventually appoint Mauricio Pochettino as the club's new head coach, following on from Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.

Pochettino will be tasked with coping with the mass outgoings which will take place over the summer, Chelsea having to part ways with many players for logistical and financial reasons.

However, despite what has been one of the most chaotic periods of the club's history, Boehly has every confidence that they will eventually meet the expectations of Chelsea's fanbase.

Speaking with Milken Institute chairman Michael Milken in Beverley Hills, Boehly said: "The fans are demanding. You know they want to win and we get that we want to win.

"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."

Chelsea are currently on a run of six successive defeats, the latest of those coming on Tuesday as they succumbed to a tame 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.

Realistically, Chelsea can still finish as high as 10th spot in the table, a target worth achieving in order to collect extra prize money which would help the club's FFP position.

On the flip side, Lampard's side are just two points above 14th position, while they can still be relegated, albeit unrealistically, if five more defeats come against Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle United.
