Todd Boehly: "December was peak but eight weeks out things are a little different. If you look at the foundations being built, new management team, new academy leadership, sporting director leadership and player mindset. All that’s there and now it is about cultivating the development of the team..." "The one thing I've learned about the British press is they exaggerate a lot and leave stuff out. I'm not going to comment. We have agreed on a strategy and a way forward and stuff is getting done..." "I am not saying it's the direct answer right this minute [one global broadcaster for the Premier League]. But I think that's where we are headed. And the owners have to be able to take some level of risk." On criticism of Chelsea from fans: "It's par for the course. The reality is the sooner you learn you're not going to keep all the people happy all the time, freedom shows up from that." "The trend is in the right direction and that’s the thing that really matters..." "A seven-year contract is really five. It helped with amortisation. But when you look at dynasties, they have super-star captains, and what you’re trying to find is that super-star captain." "You have to accept it is a unique model but it is the way this market operates. I don’t see it as good or bad. You always focus on how you keep something together for a very long time..." "The most misunderstood thing is we're thinking about measuring success in years. You have to think both short and long term. We are focused on the combination... and seeking the best way to execute..." "It is a balancing act. Strikers are hard to find. You don't go into the grocery store and say, 'I am going to get a striker'. It is an amazing skillset and you have to have the right mentality." "You can't turn left and turn right every three minutes [on strategy]. That might be some of the advice we get if you really boil it down." On if the Chelsea ownership will be the same by this time next year: "I can't predict the future..." [Financial Times Business of Football Summit via Ben Jacobs]
