John Terry sends message to Todd Boehly and Roman Abramovich as a new era officially begins at Stamford Bridge.

The Chelsea Legend has penned a lengthy emotional farewell message to Former Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, while wishing new owners the best for the new season.

Chelsea legend John Terry has given his thanks to ex-owner Roman Abramovich as the Todd Boehly era officially begins at Stamford Bridge.

Boehly’s takeover was officially completed at the end of May, ending the Russian oligarch’s 19-year ownership of the club.

Abramovich put the Blues up for sale in March amid the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The 55-year-old was then sanctioned by the UK Government on March 10, with Downing Street claiming to have proven his links to Vladimir Putin.

He was popular among Chelsea fans after delivering 21 trophies and reshaping the Premier League completely.

Terry, who was captain of the club for much of the Abramovich era, posted a message to the previous regime ahead of the first home game officially under Boehly’s stewardship.

Terry posted a lengthy message on social media ahead of Chelsea’s game with Tottenham.

He wrote: "I wish to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Marina, Bruce and Eugene for all of their fantastic and hard work at our great football club. You have all helped us become the BEST, winning every trophy in world football

“This wouldn’t have been possible without all your great work and passion throughout your time at Chelsea.

“Roman. Boss… words will never be enough to express my THANKS to you. The support you ave me, both on and off the pitch will stay with me forever.

“You created a world class men’s team, women’s team and academy, enabling us all tone our very best and fulfil our dreams.

“Your legacy and name will be remembered forever."

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed. The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge. The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era. Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below. Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though. Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term.
