Chelsea owners vow to 'do better' after spending £600MILLION only to finish 12th but insist 'we are optimistic' as they talk up summer changes behind-the-scenes

Chelsea’s owners have acknowledged their role in the ‘disappointing’ season for their men’s team but vowed to build a squad capable of competing to win the for the biggest trophies.

The first year of the Todd Boehly/Clearlake Capital regime ended with Chelsea finishing 12th with their lowest ever Premier League points tally.

They spent around £600million in the two transfer windows with the upheaval at the club further underlined by four different managers leading the team throughout the campaign.

A fifth manager of their reign has now been appointed with new head coach Mauricio Pochettino officially starting work on July 1.
