Chelsea's plans to move to a new stadium may have to wait until 2042, owner Todd Boehly has unveiled.
The issue of a new stadium for the West -London club has been a point of discussion for a while, with the house of the English Giants of Stamford Bridge that is demonstrably behind their rivals'.
Stamford Bridge is currently the ninth largest Premier League location in terms of capacity at around 41,000, so that Chelsea places more than 33,000 seats behind competition leaders Manchester United in Old Trafford, and 7,000 behind the Sunderland Championship.
In addition to the shortage of ticket sales with which the blues are therefore confronted, there is also the issue of MatchDay hospitality income, something that is becoming increasingly important with the strict profit and sustainability rules that the Premier League is subjected.
However, there have been discussions for a long time about a new stadium for the blues, and whether that would take the form of a complete reconstruction, a makeover or a move, apparently divided owners.
Boehly told Bloomberg that although there were plans to improve the stadium since buying the club, they could take some time to flourish.
'It's years [until plans come to fruition] In the making, “the Blues Chief, who admitted the club co-owner of Clearlake Capital, admitted.
'When we originally bought the club, we were initially agreed that we had 15 or 20 years old to find out, but it is a big project in a really interesting city like London where there are many constituents who have an opinion.
'The number one constituency for us is clearly our fan base and what will be the best for Chelsea.
“I think everyone acknowledges that a club as large as Chelsea should have a stadium that reflects the size of the club and that ultimately becomes a strategic advantage.”
Speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference, he also revealed that conversations about the club of the club would open again at the end of the season.
The blues currently want the first team to win all three European trophies and has one foot in the Conference League final after beating Djurgarden with 4-1 in the first stage of the semi-final.
They also hope to return to the Champions League after a strong first season under Enzo Maresca, which she currently has fifth with three more games to play.
As one of the largest outfits in the country in the past 20 years, maybe Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed earlier this year that they had become 'victims of their success' when discussing Stamford Bridge.
“My message to Chelsea came to speak to us in relation to what you want to do,” Khan told The Times.
'Chelsea is the victim of their success and Stamford Bridge is now too small for them. After all, this is a team that has won the Champions League twice.
'We work closely with all seven of our Premier League clubs, but I am sure that Chelsea looks with some envy in the stadiums that some of their rivals have in London.
'We really want to ensure that Chelsea, as we are with all our clubs, continue to bloom and bloom, so we are open to talk to Chelsea about which plans they have.
“They have not approached us at the moment. But we are here. '
