TODD BOEHLY is splashing out on a luxury ‘chillout room’ for his Chelsea stars while they battle a crisis on the pitch.
The chairman and manager Graham Potter are overseeing a multi-million-pound upgrade of their five-star Surrey training complex.

In addition to a comfy lounge area there is a gym, pool and rehab centre.
Specialist interior designers have been recruited to decorate the walls with motivational phrases.
But Potter wants the whole area to be more ‘flowing’ to make his pampered players — who are currently struggling down in tenth in the Prem — feel happier and more relaxed when they come into work.
The new players’ lounge will include soft furnishings and possibly even video games.
At present the Blues have nowhere to go and hang around the medical centre before training starts.
Work on the project began in secret during the World Cup with Boehly also spending a considerable sum improving facilities for the women’s team.
The short-term priority, however, remains improving the mood and form ON the pitch.
The Blues have won just two of their 11 games since the World Cup.

And the Evening Standard say technical director Christopher Vivell met Potter plus his staff for a “strategy meeting” at the Cobham training ground.
All the indications are, though, that Boehly and Co remain fully behind Potter.
