League Pos: 9th (49 pts)
Succession plan: Andoni Iraola favourite
24/25 Pre-tax losses: £262.4m
Chelsea face yet another summer overhaul after sacking manager Liam Rosenior just 15 weeks into a six-and-a-half-year contract. Todd Boehly has so far failed in his bid to restore the Blues to their former glory and faces yet another new manager hunt in the coming months, with interim manager Calum McFarlane set to take charge until the summer. After posting a Premier League record pre-tax loss of £262.4m for the 2024-25 period, the Stamford Bridge hierarchy will also need to oversee a firesale of talent in order to satisfy tightening PSR and UEFA regulations. Chelsea’s crazy spending and even crazier behind-the-scenes strategy have led to fan protests as this giant of English football starts to lull into a slumber.
