Highlights
  • Mauricio Pochettino has the power to set a rule that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly must follow this season.
  • Boehly's handson role at the club seems to have decreased, with sporting directors taking on more responsibilities.
  • Pochettino bans Boehly from delivering postgame speeches without his permission.

Reports indicate that Mauricio Pochettino has enforced a new rule for Chelsea owner Todd Boehly to adhere to this season. Previously heavily involved in club matters, including transfers, it appears that Boehly's influence has waned as sporting directors now handle more onfield decisions.

The Mail Online reports that while the current manager doesn't mind board members entering the dressing room after games, he specifically prohibits them from addressing players without his consent. This comes after an incident last season where an angered Behdad Eghbali criticized Raheem Sterling following a home defeat.

Despite early setbacks and questionable decisions by club leadership, there are signs of improvement as Chelsea recently secured a convincing victory over West Ham. However, owners are reportedly pushing for Europa League qualification this year putting pressure on Pochettino and the team to secure a top six finish.
