brilliant:

given all the top CB's ages (Thiago Silva is a FREAK, almost no CB's are WC anymore once they hit 33yo, 34yo, look at Ramos, Bonucci, Hummels, Pique) and some of their contract situations, the only CB I would drop €101m (£85m) on is Dias de Ligt went for £60m ( U can easily see him being worth £85m down the road, though) Skriniar's contract expires in 10 months (and next season is his last full sub 30yo season) Marquinhos turns 30yo right at the end of next season VVD is 32yo all of next season not a snowballs chance I would pay 101m euros for Bastoni atm Kounde, Miltao, a 30yo Alaba? hell no that's all the top nine listed in terms of valuation, then you have 5 tied for next place, none of which I would pay that much money for Ronald Araújo Pau Torres Fikayo Tomori Lucas Hernández José María Giménez so nope

we had best give Fofana the mother of all pre-buy physicals £85m for a CB not in the top 4 or 5 and coming off a horrid injury (and clearly showing aftereffects) is madness in my book

I am fine with that (loan back)

Candy was consortium shopping, he is all about leveraging up ising other people's money plus his own, it is how he became a multibillionaire himself (just not a big enough one to buy the club on his own, that is for sure) He also was talking to the Sir Martin Broughton-fronted group https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12567505/Chelsea-sale-rival-bidders-discuss-coming-together-to-form-super-consortium

yes, not in talks because Candy said no way he would join in Goldstein was involved, and was told, nope, Goldstein is in for sure that was as far as it went

Candy is a very aggressive go-getter, and a huge Chels fan, I simply cannot see him at least informally talking to what was seen as the strongest bid, especially after it became clear he was not going to win with his own consortium but, like I said, there as ZERO chance Goldstein was going to be nudged out especially as Goldstein and Boehly have had multiple deals in the past (which I showed in detail long ago) In 2014, Goldstein co-founded Cain Hoy Enterprises with two other Guggenheim Partners alumni, Henry Silverman and Eldridge Industries chair Todd Boehly.

I obviously was not privy to the private talks, but I am sure contact was made one way or another, at least on an informal basis. I am sure if that happened he was told that there was zero chance Goldstein would not be involved, and so he ended it there proof (as it may be, it is up to people to accept this or not, but this is Sports Illustrated, the biggest sporting magazine in the US) Nick Candy Discussed Joining Swiss-American Consortium to Buy Chelsea FC https://www.si.com/soccer/Chelsea/news/nick-candy-discussed-joining-swiss-american-consortium-to-buy-Chelsea-fc Chelsea fan and British billionaire Nick Candy has discussed joining the Swiss-American consortium involving Todd Boehly, Jonathan Goldsteng and Hansjorg Wyss to purchase the Club from Roman Abramovich, according to reports. This comes after the Russian was sanctioned but the UK Government gave the green light for Raine Group to continue the sale. As per Sky News, rival bidders have discussed coming together to form a 'super consortium'. The report states that talks have been initiated between Candy and the consortium involving Boehly, Goldstein and Wyss regarding joining together to purchase the club. The two parties have been recently recognised by the Government as 'serious contenders' to purchase the club. Wyss and Boehly, who are now also believed to be joined by Goldstein, are one of those named, with British businessman and Chelsea fan Candy also mentioned. This would have given them a huge advantage and if they join together they could form a 'super consortium' to take charge of Chelsea. Candy was present at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon for their Premier League win against Newcastle United, and was also believed to have had a private meeting with Marina Granovskaia and Bruce Buck after the game. It was previously reported that the Boehly-Wyss consortium are still looking for partners despite submitting a bid for the Club. This comes after the party made a bid of £2.5 billion to Raine Group. The Raine Group, who are overseeing the process, expect that the sale could be finalised by the end of the month after setting a deadline for bids of March 18. It was revealed on Monday that the Saudi Media Group have made a bid of £2.7 billion for the club. This could have scared other parties into looking for alternative plans to force through a move, including coming together to bid.

a little harsh I think at this point in his career I rate him enough for us to take a punt on him

I had him on the expansive lists, but I was never fully sold (yet, I surely could be) he certainly would be FAR better than Auba I was just kind of holding back to see what he did this season

you are mis-understanding I am not talking about him a the principal owner I am talking about his looking to join the consortium led by Boehly, AFTER his own bid failed

Chelsea owners left facing questions over links to Saudi Arabia after relationship emerges between club director Jonathan Goldstein and the country's Public Investment Fund - who own Premier League rivals Newcastle https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11114261/Chelsea-owners-facing-questions-Saudi-links.html Chelsea’s owners are facing further questions about their links to Saudi Arabia after one of the club’s new directors, Jonathan Goldstein, brokered a £750million property deal with the Public Investment Fund, who also own Newcastle. Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that PIF have billions of pounds managed by Chelsea’s new majority shareholder, Clearlake Capital, raising fears among some rivals about the potential for collaboration and possible conflicts of interest. Those concerns will have increased on Monday with the announcement that Goldstein’s property company Cain International have agreed a joint investment with PIF in the Aman Group, who own luxury hotels and apartments. Goldstein played a key role in facilitating Chelsea’s 4.25billion takeover earlier this summer along with LA Dodgers owner Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali of private equity firm Clearlake, who own 60 per cent of the club. PIF paid £350m to buy Newcastle last year and are funding the LIV Series that has caused so much disruption to the world of golf, but Chelsea insist that Saudi money was not used to fund Clearlake’s purchase of Chelsea. In another intriguing twist, however, two of Newcastle’s owners attended Chelsea’s first home game of the new regime on Sunday, with Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi guests in the executive box belonging to director Eghbali, the founding partner of Clearlake. Staveley and Ghodoussi are believed to have used the audience with the Chelsea hierarchy to discuss transfers and press their case to take several of the club’s fringe players on loan. Newcastle had hoped to sign Timo Werner before the German striker opted to return to RB Leipzig, but remain interested in loan moves for Conor Gallagher, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Armando Broja.

Nick Candy knew something was up with Goldstein, he refused to join the consortium because of him would have SO much rather have had Candy than him plus Candy wanted to do the Roman stadium, not some hodgepodge slap job

watch us get FUCKED over conflict of interest Saudi money and NUFC skate away free as a bird without any serious sanctions 🤬 I fucking warned over that Spuds cunt Jonathan Goldstein ffs

The Saudis already have billions parked in Clearlake
