EPL 2022: Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel, Todd Boehly, consortium, Hakim Ziyech, transfers, Cristiano Ronaldo, Premier League, Graham Potter

Boehly and his co-owners were confident in the transfer window that they would sign up to six new players. They signed nine, for a staggering spend of nearly 300 million pounds. The departures of experienced transfer experts like Granovskaia or Cech meant a heavy load on Tuchel. He was at odds with the new owners and their new direction. His touchline stoush after the draw at Spurs earned him a hefty fine and a one-match ban. On the field, results were sliding and he was more irritable than ever. He changed formation three times in 45 minutes and played Mason Mount from central midfield to the left side and again in central attacking midfield.
