It has been announced that Todd Boehly will replace Bruce Buck as chairman of Chelsea’s board of directors. In addition, they have verified Marina Granovskaia’s resignation.
A great deal has changed at Stamford Bridge since Roman Abramovich sold the Club to a group led by Boehly and Clearlake Capital less than a month ago. Just as changes are seen with NFL odds during departures, we are set to see more with Chelsea.
What Happened So Far
The Russian-Canadian businessman managed deals and player contracts for Chelsea on behalf of Abramovich during the previous several years. She is tight with the head coach, Thomas Tuchel, and is notoriously demanding when negotiating contracts with agents and teams.
Chelsea has stated that Granovskaia will continue to assist until the transfer window closes. Boehly will have extra responsibilities as interim sporting director when she goes until a replacement is found.Â
Boehly stated, “We congratulate Marina on her many years of exemplary service to the club and wish her the best of luck with her future endeavors.”
The Shake-Up
Chelsea has announced Marina Granovskaia’s resignation as director. This implies that Todd Boehly, the Club’s new owner, will be responsible for recruiting new players this summer. Once the players begin to sign up, we expect changes in odds as seen in NFL lines during transfers.
Granovskaia has been in charge of Chelsea for nearly ten years on behalf of Roman Abramovich, but she will leave Stamford Bridge as part of a massive reorganization.
The 47-year-old is the most recent prominent player to depart a squad. The departure of Bruce Buck, the Club’s chairman for the past 19 years, was announced by Chelsea on Monday.
It was believed that Granovskaia would depart when Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale. After Boehly spearheaded the takeover, it was thought that she would remain as part of the handover process until the transfer window’s conclusion.
Since 2010, the Russian-Canadian businessman has been employed by Chelsea, and he is frequently regarded as the Club’s second-most significant individual after Abramovich.
Since 2013, Granovskaia has been in charge of player agreements and contracts. Boehly and Thomas Tuchel will now conduct transfer negotiations. Boehly will also serve as Chelsea’s interim sporting director and chairman until Granovskaia’s permanent replacement is selected.
“As guardians of Chelsea FC, we are now putting our long-term vision and plan for the Club into action, creating an exceptional experience for its passionate, loyal fans and continuing to challenge for top honors in keeping with Chelsea FC’s illustrious history,” Boehly said after he and a number of other new board members were named.
“We are entirely devoted to winning, on and off the field, by cooperating side by side.” Our work on this project has already begun.
We appreciate Marina’s many years of outstanding service to the Club and wish her the best in the future.
Last year at the Golden Boy awards, Granovskaia was awarded the most outstanding club director in European football, demonstrating her significance to the team.
Chelsea faces a vital summer transfer window with Tuchel’s lack of expertise, experience, influence, and connections. The Club has stated, however, that she will “be available to Boehly and the Club for the remainder of the current transfer window, to the extent necessary to help the transition.”

How Chelsea handles transfers has evolved significantly. Since discovering Romelu Lukaku’s desire to return to Internazionale, they have not changed their thoughts.Â
Boehly took care of negotiations with Inter, who agreed to pay $7 million-plus add-ons to loan Lukaku after realizing that denying the striker a move would be futile. Inter has agreed to pay $7 million-plus add-ons to loan Lukaku.
As we wait for the full EPL transfers, the Vegas NFL odds are also something to note in this charged season.
