Onto the news now…
We all know what has happened here this weekend. Our beloved club has been dragged into the media once again, and yet more drama has ensued.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital’s relationship has broken down, and now they are both considering buying each other out. But it’s about to get tense, and all of this is the last thing we all need right now.
It’s really becoming a Todd Boehly vs Behdad Eghbali situation right now, and whether you think it’s right or not, this WILL all spill out into the games in the form of the fanbase voicing their opinions with chants and more. And this is not what we need, but you can fully understand why fans will want to do this.
At the moment, Boehly has a minority 38.5% stake in Chelsea, which is split equally between him, Hansjörg Wyss and Mark Walter.
But Clearlake, which is owned by Behdad Eghbali and José E Feliciano, have 61.5% shares and are therefore the majority owners.
SPTC sources understand that both sides now want to buy the other out and the relationship between the two has become untenable.
