I don't know that Boehly will be great for the club as the structure of the deal will probably look similar to what the Glazers did to buy Man U.

You cant really compare the dodgers to Chelsea though. Dodgers are damn near Americas team. Only the yankees, cowboys, and lakers are more significant here.

 

 

Winning with the dodgers means something here. I dont see Chelsea winning meaning the same. One need only look at the Glazers reactions when stacking Tampa compared to their relative inaction in terms of keeping Manchester United(a global brand) "Competitive"

The Glazers have spent more than any other owners in the PL in the past 5 years?

No because they dont seem to care as much as they do domestically with the way they stacked the Bucs and pretty much made our division in the NFC south a foregone conclusion 😅

 

The key difference  is spending on the dodgers is a lot different from spending on Chelsea.

True but they owed the Buc's fans that as they owned the Bucs for 20 years and kept them the doormat of the league and didn't care as long as they were selling enough t-shirts. Glazers are horrible owners.

Exactly, people have a misconception of the situation at United.

It's not that they haven't been backed financially its more to do with the diecsions at board level in terms of sackings and their timing among other unsavoury decisions being made. 

Nobody can say The Glazers haven't gone into the market to buy quality players... they have but luckily for us they have purchased the wrong players.

Wyss is not the big player in the group, he just went to Todd Boehly because Todd already offered 3B a couple of years ago to Roman and it was turned down.

Todd boehly is not really much wealthier. He might be an accomplished entrepreneur but his history in american sports is hardly inspiring.

Im not sold he will be great for the club. The part that is appealing about him is he is willing to spend big to win.

Chelsea is the big corner shop of Europe.
Unless football is considered as no longer a viable proposition for investment, there will be scores of buyers.
Hence all those applicants should be vetted for their loyalty to the club as well as for their economic power.

Let's make Talk Chelsea consortium. All of us together, how far away are we from 3b?
