Mauricio Pochettino's shock Chelsea sacking is believed to have sparked a 'power struggle' inside the club that has ignited discussion over future sales of shares, according to reports.
The Blues have been a huge disruptor in the transfer market since co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali were backed by American investment firm Clearlake Capital in 2022.
Since then they have spent over £1billion on hauling in new recruits during a volatile reign that has seen four different permanent managers take charge of a young and overcrowded squad.
Results on the pitch are yet to reflect the huge amount spent and now a debate is arising over the relationship between the two co-owners growing increasingly strained.
