Chelsea appoint new commercial director

Chelsea have appointed a new commercial director, with Damian Willoughby leaving his role at EA Sports to c

The suit has worked in football for some time, previously at City Football Group’s Indian division. Todd Boehly and co. will be hoping he brings some of their tricks over to our side.

Willoughby has history at Chelsea too – he was head of sponsorship until 2010, so this is really a homecoming of sorts.

It’s all part of the top to bottom restructure of the club we saw kick in the moment the purchase was complete.

From players to youth coaches to directors to Marina and Petr Cech, we’ve seen changes at every level as the new ownership group makes the club their own.

This kind of move was exactly what we’d expect as Clearlake look to kick our commercial side up a notch, and there should be several more like this in the months to come.

  1. What a joke, bloody awful preformence, TT has lost it,team selection poor, time to get rid I think, anybody else agree, last 6 months poor, tactics all over the place

  2. About TT loosing it,I don’t know what the hell is wrong with him honestly,mean it’s like he is trying things out in every game, ain’t sure what’s up with his team selection. Against Zagreb today,why couldn’t he start Broja, bringing Auba with how many days of training with the team? It looks like somehow he is desperate? I don’t know someone help me out,what was with the selection today?

  3. Everyone on Sky, Bt etc saying they weren’t expecting it. As Chellsea fan I was. He’s asked players to play out of position for months, making players resent him..This season is terrible. Starting Auba who hasn’t trained for weeks and had terrible ordeal doesn’t make sense. Players are under performing since pre-season. Carragher saying Roman is behind the scenes sums up he talks so much crap. He shouldn’t be on TV. He’s hopeless.

  4. In as much as TT had lost it, the ownership of this club needs to know that European football is not about injecting money and expect results. They also lost it, why spend too much money on wrong players…? It’s my opinion that they get one defensive and one attacking midfielders. Then build a team from that point.
