It has been claimed that Todd Boehly is considering moving Chelsea’s home away from Stamford Bridge, with Earl’s Court a possibility for a new home.
According to The Times, this decision would be going against a promise the American made as part of his bid to buy the club last year.
When Roman Abramovich was forced to sell the Blues last season, those interested in a purchase were forced to make their intentions clear on their plans in a wide variety of areas.
One of these was what to do with the stadium. It is not lost on anyone that Stamford Bridge is behind their fellow elite sides and their home ground.
Boehly has always claimed he is open to listening to supporter input, and his original promise was to keep Chelsea at their home in West London.
There would be a number of factors the club would have to deal with, which may include temporarily moving home to a stadium such as Wembley in order to allow a redevelopment to take place.

Now though, supporters are beginning to become concerned with the rumours that a move away could still be on the cards. The Times reported that fans have put together a series of questions to pose to the owner regarding what the future holds.
With Boehly’s popularity not high with everybody, he would be advised to try and keep as many supporters as possible onside.
