He appeared not fully dedicated to the game, as he was later seen dozing off during the match. Football–Twitter caught wind of the incident and made sure to make it memorable for the billionaire.

Most Fans found it disappointing to see Todd Boehly, the owner that has spent record-breaking amounts of cash in the transfer window, not showing more enthusiasm and support for the players on the field. The 0-0 draw between Chelsea and Fulham resulted in a rather dull game for the American, which may have contributed to Boehly’s disinterest.

Fans expressed their frustration on social media. They claimed that, as the club’s face, Boehly should lead by example and show passion and support for the players on the field. Some fans compared Boehly’s behavior to that of a casual spectator, instead of the owner of a top-flight football club.

Todd Boehly has been compared to the previous owner, Roman Abramovich, who was known to have a passion for the club and a genuine interest in its well-being. On the other hand, it has been joked that even after the transfer window had shut, Boehly was still on the hunt for more signings. During the game, his actions were the target of criticism from fans, who made their dissatisfaction with his behavior known.

Fans on Twitter shared their thoughts about the incident:

It is clear that the behavior of club owners is of great significance to supporters, who view them as ambassadors for their team. Fans expect club owners to set a positive example for all supporters by showing enthusiasm and support for their players during live games.
