The dismissal of Thomas Tuchel doesn’t surprise me because it’s so typical of the way Todd Boehly has decided to run Chelsea.
Boehly is a very wealthy man who is entrepreneurial and who I’m sure has made money in many different areas. A man who has looked at football and thought, ‘this is a business which is straightforward and simple — and because I’m so smart in so many other aspects of life, I can handle this’.
So he personally supervises the spending of almost £300million, wonders why it’s not working and, as always, the victim is the manager.
