Fans claim Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has ‘had enough’ just one game in after spotting what he did when Man City scored
CHELSEA will remain at Stamford Bridge and expand the stadium capacity to 55,000 — if Behdad Eghbali wins the boardroom battle with Todd Boehly.
Blues’ co-controlling owners are at loggerheads and want to buy each other out — and the outcome will have a huge effect on the stadium plans.A source said: “There is a growing realisation that Earl’s Court can’t be done, while Boehly could be out of the club soon. “If Todd Boehly leaves, then the club are expected to push forward on plans to remain at Stamford Bridge and work towards a solution for a 55,000-capacity stadium.”Plans include modernising the West Stand, building concrete decks over a neighbouring railway line and using land that the club purchased from veterans’ charity Stoll.
Eghbali’s preferred option does not involve a complete demolition of the club’s 42,000-capacity home.But it is understood that Eghbali is not in favour of being away from the Bridge for such a long period.Last time out, the Blues' drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.Chris Wood fired the visitors into the lead on 49 minutes, with Noni Madueke equalising just shy of the hour mark.
