Former Chelsea star criticises boardroom civil war as he describes row between Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali as 'a real mess'

A former Chelsea star has heavily criticised the boardroom civil war at the club.

Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali are at loggerheads and are both looking to buy each other out.

Eghbali's Clearlake Capital are adamant that they won't sell their majority stake. They are eager to buy out Boehly and increase their stake in the club to at least 75 per cent.

Boehly, meanwhile, is eager to get his own new backers.

Chelsea have endured a chaotic time under the co-ownership of Boehly and Eghbali, with a host of players being signed and performances often lacking consistency.
