No shirt sponsor a big issue for other clubs, but Chelsea are a unique case. Good at what they set out to do, using young men as commodities. That continues, don’t think owners will be too concerned. “More concerned about player training model. Results inconsistent, probably still win enough to get into the Champions League because who will top five be? Expect the usual suspects of Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool, then a bun fight. Spurs doing well, exciting for Bournemouth and Sunderland now, but reserving judgment until March. Chelsea looking at one of those two spots.”While their goal is a place in Europe’s premier competition, that is by no means a guarantee for Chelsea after a slow start to the season.Opta are currently predicting them to finish fourth, but Newcastle and Tottenham’s chances of taking a Champions League place are not much lower than those of the West Londoners.Missing out on the top four would be a huge blow for the Londoners, especially with Boehly looking to capitalise on a Netflix-style streaming model for the Premier League.Chelsea could benefit as UEFA eye Netflix modelIt was reported earlier this month that UEFA are aiming to raise £4.3bn from its next rights sale by selling at least one match per Champions League round to a big-name streamer.For context, the latest figures show Chelsea earned £163m from broadcast revenue.Boehly also commented on the Premier League potentially securing a deal with a streaming service earlier this year.He said: “It’s a long conversation, and [the Premier League] are on it. They are thinking about media rights going forward, they’ve got great leadership in that area, and they are thinking about how to get everyone to row simultaneously and be pulling for each other.”
