Since acquiring Chelsea for £2.5 billion in 2022, Todd Boehly and his BlueCo consortium have spent more money in a single season than any other club in the history of world football.
It has come as a shock to a lot of people, who expected Chelsea's spending to decrease under the US consortium, following 20 years in which the club was financed by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.
In this video, HITC Sevens goes inside the mind of Todd Boehly and BlueCo (not literally), to understand why they have invested so heavily in such a short amount of time at Chelsea, their approach to Premier League spending and UEFA FFP restrictions, and - ultimately - why they appear to be running Chelsea like a tech startup.
