Looks like their GK is done.

And they score fuck!

We look so sloppy to start

yikes, is Luton that weak?

No loans to be repaid. All proceeds of the sale to go to the victims of the Ukraine war.

Todd is pretty shrewd he bought in to the Dodgers for 20% and as he spends on the team he gets a higher percentage of ownership. I think he is up to 27% now.

Is this his real account? He could just be looking for headlines.

Not sure if true but links of Conor McGregor wanting to buy the club.

Todd Boehly spends big on the Dodgers trying to win championships. He is an owner that will take loses to get to a championship.

When countrys freeze assets, they are returned after the sanction is over unless the assets are involved in a crime. Roman should have no need to worry about losing the money the club owes him.

Musk has some really interesting views. And by interesting I mean yowza. I am not sure how stable of an owner he would be.

Boom! Ted Lasso is in the Prem!

The debt is 1.5B and the clubs is valued over 2B, why would he sell for a loss?

Deeds speak louder than words.

Uggggh!!

Holy fuck yesssss

So happy to see Reece on the pitch.

It was a good half of football for both teams. Goals missed by both teams.

Stuck in Atlanta traffic watching on my phone. Come on Blues!

Bielsa steps down.

We are just speculating but Shahid Kahn the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars bought Fulham for £77M. I think owning a London team is done for a lot less than £2B. All of these guys are wealthy because of good business. In any case, I hope we never find out.

If that were the case I think you would already seen those owners looking to buy other teams. £2B is a huge investment. The Saudis got Newcastle for £300m. Stan Kroenke bought Arsenal for £550M. The Glazers have a total investment of £800M. FSG bought Liverpool for £300M.

It is actually a decent conversation about sports team ownership in America. There are quite a few NFL owners that have diversified into MLS teams. It is no coincidence that the MLS season starts right after the NFL season ends. These owners are keeping their stadiums in use by owning MLS teams. We are headed to watch Atlanta United Sunday, who are owned by Author Blank who also owns the Atlanta Falcons. The Glazers have done really well with Man Utd and Tampa. They truly run both as a business. Stan Kroenke is a completely different animal. He owns a long list of sports teams, due largely because he married into wealth. His wife Ann Walton inherited half of the WalMart riches. He and Ann have tons of money to play with, he never needed city taxes to build a new stadium for the Rams. I think if there was an American owner that had the funds it would be a MLB owner. The only problem is £2B is hard to justify when they could buy other EPL teams for a lot less. When that article said an American billionaire or sports group, it just doesn't make financial sense. It would have to be someone that just has to want Chelsea and does not care about profit. Roman has pretty effectively priced Chelsea out of a price that makes financial sense if profit is the motivation for buying. I am sure the FA is probably aware of that also if they wanted to force his hand. Another reason why Roman is such a good owner for fans, he cares more about winning than profit.

Ok, then what American do you see spending 2B on an EPL team?
