The Blues are in a dismal run of form, having taken just nine points from their last ten league matches to slip from second in the table to seventh, and now face a battle to secure Champions League football next term.
Chelsea fans have staged a protest against the club’s owners outside Stamford Bridge ahead of Tuesday night’s Premier League clash with Southampton.
One supporter waved fake money in front of a cartoon image of Boehly, which was accompanied by a sign reading: “Thanks Chelsea fans for making me richer”.
That was a reference to the revelation earlier this month that Boehly is a co-owner of Vivid Seats, an American website that sells tickets to sporting events, including Chelsea matches, often at a significant markup.
Chelsea have spent more than £1billion on players in that time but are yet to win a major trophy and are left relying on the Conference League as their sole hope of ending that drought this term.
