Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Chelsea owner Todd Boehly is keen to copy the City Football Group and improve upon it as part of his long-range vision.

The 48-year-old is understood to be eager to establish a network of feeder clubs across the globe to rival and eventually exceed the business model of the current Premier League champions.

The Blues new owners led by American businessman Todd Boehly are looking to revamp the whole structure of the club at Stamford Bridge, including the development of younger players.

Boehly has already overseen some significant changes at the club since taking charge and it appears he has grand plans going forward. Chelsea’s new owner has already ousted Bruce Buck, Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech from their respective roles before sacking head coach Thomas Tuchel last week, a matter of days after backing him with a transfer spend in excess of £250m this summer.

Graham Potter has arrived as his successor and it seems the changes in west London are set to continue. According to The Sun, Boehly has plans to copy City’s off-field success of utilising connections to other clubs from across the world.

The American is said to be keen to revamp the whole business model at Stamford Bridge and that is set to include establishing close ties with teams around the world as the City Football Group has already done.

The City Football Group have invested in teams all across the world. In Europe, they possess close ties to Troyes in France, Lommel SK in Belgium, Girona in Spain and, as of July, Palermo in Italy.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
