The Chelsea board will undergo some changes after American tycoon Todd Boehly was acquired from Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich for 5,000 million euros, but Bruce Buck, 76, will continue to hold his duties as president.
Bohely, co-owner of the Dodgers (Los Angeles baseball team), heads a consortium and his buying operation is just pending final approval by the British Government and the Premier League.
Buck will join Boehly on the board along with journalist Daniel Finkelstein and public relations executive Barbara Charone, who will serve as non-executive directors.
Will Granovskaya continue?
It is not yet clear whether director Marina Granovskaia will join them after becoming the main negotiator in the relocation and relocation operations. He came to Chelsea in 2010 as a representative of his compatriot Abramovich, where he began working in 1997 at the oil company Sibneft (now Gazprom Neft), he joined the board in 2013 and the following year he became executive director of the club.
Granovskaia will serve as a bridge to sporting management after Chelsea failed to carry out any operations due to sanctions imposed on the British government club for Abramovich’s ties to Vladimir Putin after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
He will not be on the board because of being a Tottenham fan
British businessman Jonathan Goldstein, who is part of the consortium, will not have a seat on the board. CEO of a real estate investment firm, he is a close associate of Boehly. However, he preferred to take a lesser -known position as some Chelsea fans opposed his participation because he was a fan of Tottenham, the Blues ’eternal rival in London.
