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

Yep. Like I said above, he’s all about star power and big, flashy buys apparently.

The Dodgers are essentially the Real Madrid Galacticos of baseball along with the Yankees. Same with the Lakers.

Another American name now coming into the picture along with Wyss. Todd Boehly, who partly owns the LA Dodgers and Lakers as well as the Cloud9 eSports org. Big time into sports and entertainment. Tried to tempt Roman with a bid a couple years ago. Seems like he could be part of the team of billionaires who will bid together.

This is the kind of guy that I think could be promising. He’s all about star power, flash, and Hollywood entertainment. Will probably want to see Chelsea continue to boom in America.

But how it will work with two or three investor. 

Why Todd does not just do it himself? 

I think it's harder to deal with many investor when your just the sole owner? Or that's not correct?

Is this positive or negative news, can't tell.

Could be Glazer 2.0.

I don't think he has the money.

[ZAPHOD2319 3,897]

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

United's regular operations always make a profit. The glazers leech those profits. 

We don't regularly make a profit form our operations.

No idea. Might be similar to Liverpool or United where “_____ Sports Group” owns the club rather than just one single individual.

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.

You misunderstood what i said. Boehly had a history with CLO that means he could takes out a loan to buy us then uses the club money to pay the loan, just like the Glazers.

Conor McGregor tells Chelsea he wants to "explore" buying club for £3bn

Self-confessed Manchester United fan Conor McGregor has told Chelsea he wants to "explore" buying the Premier League club.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is looking to sell the European and world champions and has valued the Stamford Bridge club at £3billion.

And UFC star McGregor tweeted: "I wish to explore this, Chelsea" in response to a picture of a WhatsApp message from an unknown contact which read: "Chelsea for sale, £3bn. Let's buy it".

McGregor, who is worth around £135million, has previously shown an interest in buying his beloved United, tweeting last year: "Hey guys, I’m thinking about buying Manchester United! What do you think?"

Russian-Israeli billionaire Abramovich is understood to want to retain his ownership of Chelsea.

But that could effectively prove close to impossible should the UK government impose sanctions on the 55-year-old, who has owned the west London club since 2003.

Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has claimed he has been given the chance to buy Chelsea, and is preparing a consortium to submit an offer.

An American-based merchant bank is understood to have contacted potential buyers, claiming to represent the Blues in a potential sale.

Chelsea have not responded to Wyss’ claims or suggestions that the west London club could now be sold.

The 86-year-old billionaire Wyss has admitted he will look into the details of any possible deal to buy Chelsea.

"Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England, he also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly," Wyss told Swiss newspaper Blick.

“I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich.

Will Roman Abramovich sell Chelsea? Let us know in the comments section below

“I have to wait four to five days now. Abramovich is currently asking far too much.

“You know, Chelsea owe him £2 billion. But Chelsea has no money. As of today, we don’t know the exact selling price."

 

Abramovich attempted to step back from the daily running of Chelsea last weekend, in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Blues boss has tried to hand the "stewardship and care" of Chelsea to the club’s charitable foundation trustees.

That led the Charity Commission to contact the Stamford Bridge club for more detail on Abramovich’s plans, after several of the trustees raised concerns over technicalities.

Official. He's selling. 

[We Hate Scouse 10,261]

Can't help but feel absolutely gutted. He has truly been the dream owner, he's given us everything and more. Thank you Roman. 😭

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Quite a nice statement 

[ZAPHOD2319 3,897]

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