Expected....have Nike said anything yet offical cause there's been a lot of conflicting reports.. do wonder if he hadn't been sanctioned if sponsors still would've taken action.

Hopefully this mess soon be a distant memory..before becomes more of a mess

It seems so shortsighted and plain dumb for companies to “suspend” their sponsorships when the process of finding a new owner will maybe take a couple of weeks. What’s the point? Chelsea FC, the actual football club, haven’t done anything to bring these companies’ reputation down. So other than a phony publicity stunt I don’t see what it accomplishes.

Any and all sponsors that jump ship during this period should never be allowed to come groveling back once things are sorted.

Maybe they believe we hide some weapons.

Very reactionary. They are risking future business by doing so. 
 

Hope we fuck Three right off once this is sorted.

The same Hyundai which were one of FIFA's main sponsors for the world cup in Russia and are currently again one of the main and proud FIFA sponsors for the Qatar world cup.

It's hypocrisy more than anything. I don't think anyone will complain about the likes of Trivago and Nike remaining committed on the basis that clearly the club will be changing ownership very soon, so will just keep monitoring developments for now. 

Will be interesting to know what the position of Chelsea is or can be once everything is sorted. Can the club veto out of these deals with Three and Hyundai and arrange new sponsorships?

Add Hyundai. 

[Superblue 6,331]

I see Hyundai are going the same way as Three on Trust Pilot 

[Pizy 17,860]

It’s not like we have a sex predator or a club-wide scandal that would damage the reputation of the shirt sponsor by mere association. There’s no right minded person in the world who sees the Hyundai logo on a Chelsea players’ sleeve and thinks “I’m not buying a Hyundai because they support Chelsea!”

It’s just performative bullshit.

[Clockwork 1,762]

Man Hyundai and Three are not happy that Chelsea are no longer owned by Russian oligarch.

But still no offical statement as yet...but guess as nothing said either way maybe they're waiting to see how things unfold.

What successful consortiums have there been?

Real, Barca, Bayern, Pool (FSG is a consortium) for starters, there is no single human owner for any of the 4

also, a shedload of yank teams (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, especially baseball) have consortium ownership

The Boston Red Sox (FSG which Stands for Fenway Sports Group, Fenway being their legendary old old stadium), the New York Yankees ( Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC), and the the LA Dodgers (Boehly is part of that consortium) are great examples of very successful teams who have no single human owner

Boehly has taken a public position against the Super League

There was an interview with this bloke linked earlier in this thread and another 30-minute one linked from that. In both of those, plus the two snippets linked here, I find Boehly to be impressive. That said I don't interpret what he says about the super League to mean that he is against it. My take is that he is against trying to do anything without taking the fans, the customers, along with you. These comments therefore would not rule out his being part of attempts to sell a repackaged version of the super League to European football fans at some point in the future.

If the bid by his consortium moves forward then we can expect media outlets to follow up on his ideas about the super League and other matters. It will be interesting to read more about his thinking.

bought Chelsea for £140m spent billions sold for free and left us as the kings of the world debt free. Proper Chels.

that is way harsh for us pre August 2003

we already had 3 European trophies (Arse still only has 2 total after 137 years of footie)

and 12 overall

6 of those were from May 1997 through August 2000: 2 FA Cups, a CS, a League Cup, a UEFA Cup Winners Cup, and a UEFA Super Cup (beating Real Madrid, a team we have NEVER lost any game to, in August 1998)
