As for picking a side here, if this is true the decision is made for me.

it's a fucking mess.

We lurch from one disaster to another, now it's the fucking owners at it.

What a complete horror show from all the owners, just wish they would sell up and fuck off, they've been a clueless embarrassment the whole time.

[Blue Armour 4,448]

This was likely going to be the case when the club was taken over by a consortium.

Explains everything. First window was filled with overpriced big money signings like Koulibaly, Fofana and Sterling (when Boehly called the shots), and complete reversal in the other direction when Eghbali & Clearlake took over proceedings., halfway through that first season.

It's been a mess both ways. Constant reshuffling, chopping and changing at all levels, from top to bottom. No wonder we don't have a shirt sponsor. Embarrassing for a club at this level. 

Whoever thinks that this was all part of some of grand, well throught-out plan is really drinking the kool-aid.

Not going to go into the forced sale thing itself, but wasn't one of the points of agreeing to pick Clearlake & co that they declared club can't be sold in next 10 years? Any of the partners selling their stake literally changes who is the owner of the club.

Clownlake Egbhali and Feliciano are capitalist moneyball wrongers they are looking only for profit , business while  Meatloaf Boehly is another wronger who love to be celebrity face of the PR happy meal wonderful food we will beat Real Madrid 3:0  both of them are not enough to run this club even alone they have no clue about football they are not Roman they are clowns . Sale the club and get out all of them .

Understand Clearlake Capital remain very relaxed about the situation behind the scenes. The two options for Todd Boehly are very clear: sell his shares or don't. Clearlake won't consider selling 61.5% stake in Chelsea.

Under the terms of the ownership agreement, Boehly cannot sell to a third party without permission from Clearlake.

Why are Chelsea’s owners locked in a civil war?

 

Todd Boehly is unsure about Chelsea’s recruitment strategy (Picture: Getty)

Boehly and Eghbali are believed to have conflicting visions for the future of Chelsea over a number of issues, both on and off the pitch.

According to Sky Sports, Boehly is unsure of the current recruitment strategy being implemented by Eghbali.

Boehly is also thought to have reservations over the fact that no significant progress has been made on redeveloping Stamford Bridge.

 

So neither of them seem interested in the teams terminal decline into mid table mediocrity - its all about the money for them

this enrages me

[Laylabelle 9,536]

This has all gone a bit wrong very quickly!

[Fulham Broadway 17,333]

Chelsea’s civil war has led Clearlake Capital, the US private equity firm that owns a majority shareholding in the club, to consider buying out Todd Boehly or striking a deal with the billionaire that would remove his influence and keep him in little more than a ceremonial role.

 

The atmosphere in Chelsea’s boardroom has deteriorated since the weekend and Boehly, who wants the situation resolved as soon as possible, is confident he has investors ready to provide the £2.5bn that could allow him to buy Clearlake’s 61.5% stake.

What a fucking mess off the pitch. Both side of this new ownership are parasites.

Says a lot when even Boehly is unsure of Eghbali’s recruitment strategy too. A man who apparently presented a 4-4-3 formation to Thomas Tuchel. Shambles.

? What exactly about Boehly is, parisitic lol. If you can’t individually paint separate pictures of them you don’t know what’s going on  

[milka 3,393]

Since they arrived, there is no clear development plan of where the club is going, money is just being thrown for middle class players, 4 coaches in 2 years, the club is an absolute mess and when what happens on the pitch for a club is irrelevant, it only shows that those who run the club have no idea what they are doing . In the second season they can't find a shirt sponsor . When you have no idea about football you appoint the best people, not you to be a sporting director like Boehly was or to appoint two mid sporting directors which club has  two sporting directors .

This power grab is now becoming a PR battle. Boehly talks about the need for a new stadium. Eghbali’s team pump out a story about plans being discussed to move to Earl’s Court. Earl’s Court development team calls bullshit on Eghbali’s team.

We got the dumbest owners possible. Hope Abramovic lets them break that 10 years binding and they sell to some Arabs. Complete wank.

According to Chelsea’s holding company’s official accounts, the club’s debt is now at least £1.2bn.

Furthermore, those figures were taken from the club’s accounts as of June 2023 and the true figure could in fact be significantly higher.
