MARTIN SAMUEL: Todd Boehly has one shot at getting the Stamford Bridge renovation right

CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Managers can be changed, players can be purchased and sold, and teams can be traded. But Todd Boehly (left) has a chance to rebuild Stamford Bridge, but he has to get it done. Chelsea's news that they are in the process of buying a 1.2 acre Fulham Road property to help guarantee the club's future has raised the possibility that the club will be rewarded for its success. This will not come soon enough. Manchester United's matchday profits more than Chelsea, but Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham all earn more than £1 million, although Chelsea and Tottenham are among Arsenal's more lucrative players who play. And the gulf is growing. Anfield is being expanded. Old Trafford will be restored shortly, according to reports. Tottenham's stadium now appears to be the right spot for money-spinner football. By comparison, Stamford Bridge, although not entirely demolishing, is a monument. It has a capacity of nearly 42,000, or about 11,000 less than any major six club, and has been dwarfed by the homes of West Ham and Newcastle. And Villa Park has more. However, the promise is still present. Chelsea's most regular visitor earns more money than any Premier League club.
