Chelsea Newsletter - Thursday 7th April
Covering: Chelsea 1 Real Madrid 3 Review, Ownership Latest, Ricketts Strong Contenders, Why I'm #TeamTodd, Dembele News, Plus More...
Morning!
It was a Champions League night at Stamford Bridge last night, and the occasions do not come much bigger than that welcoming Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of this competition. It was a very frustrating night but not necessarily just because of the scoreline or the performance, but more the fact this was entirely on us.
I’ve got my watch along match review here where I ponder the game and give my conclusions.
Before we get onto the usual ownership stuff, here is a transfer rumour to rate, and I’m speaking on the future of Ousmane Dembele again and whether Chelsea could still feature in that.
The ownership latest now - and the best place to start as always is in yesterday’s live blog where I have all the latest news on ownership and everything else as it happened yesterday here.
I’ve got a couple articles now to finish up. I’ve tried to be as balanced as possible on these, but whilst also giving my opinions on who I want to be our next owners and why.
Let’s start with a piece on The Ricketts and how they’ve become such strong contenders with the addition of Ken Griffin here.
But for me, it’s still and always will be #TeamTodd, and I explain my reasoning behind that and the latest on their attempts to buy Chelsea here. Todd Boehly should be in London today meeting Chelsea’s execs and he was also at Stamford Bridge watching the game last night!
We have a Podcast out later on today, and as there is a game to talk about and so much ownership stuff as always, it’s just myself and Dan this week. We will have two weeks in a row with guests on, including Stamford Chidge from the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust board, and next week I am looking to secure a top journalist who’s been on point with all the ownership stuff to give us the latest on that.
Have a good Thursday!
Peace, Si.
