Todd Boehly Thread

[Vesper 30,085]

I am NOT liking what I see coming down the road.

Boehly may well destroy us.

The fans won't allow Bohely and his cronies to destroy this club. There will be riots in the streets. We will not go quietly into the night.

Anything new in particular, or just based on stuff we've seen so far?

We’ve already let him rip out a lot of what made the club successful and work beforehand though.

The footballing structure wasn’t perfect but it was better and worked better than this. The medical staff was better and we didn’t have as many big injuries like we do now.

All good saying we won’t allow Boehly to do X Y or Z but he already has done a lot.

Agreed. Would just add a correlation between the type of player we signed--how physically unprepared they are for the PL, and injuries.

It's not evidently a 1to1 thing, but I'd not be surprised if there is a slight causation in the mix.

Under Roman, you could feel the passion from the owner to win and become one of the best clubs in the world....Clearlake gives you the feeling that the club is just a vehicle for profit and that "it's all business"

This new announcement from Jose Feliciano of $100m in further salary cuts (wtf, are we only going to have a continuous stream of youngsters now, with no veteran players of import?) and then the hiring of some yank bint baseball park designer as the head architect for the SB renovation or tear-down/new build.

Her work is so meh, so not a world class architecture firm. Odds are high the finished stadium may well look like shit. I hope not, but I do not like what I see. I do not want this fucking Americanisation of so much of the club.

I am seriously considering moving towards a Boehly-out stance, not that ANY of our fans, no matter how many come to want him and the rest out, can do fuck-all about it.

We NEVER should have sold to yank billionaires. They are a pox on sport and life in general.

I am in a state of dismay at the moment.

Can’t say I agree with most of the narrative here, it’s a business whether we like it or not and considering we had to self report ourselves, the non existent salary structure and the way the club was run in general was a shambles, financially. Did it work? My God did it, we were blessed, spoilt rotten and unfortunately coupled with the mistakes made by keen new ownership it seems one step forward twelve back. Ultimately it’s a roadmap plan and we can only determine whether it’s a success or not five years or so down the line.

That said, no idea what the sub is in total for the travel as in true cost, but those items are a shame and I cannot see how it’s astronomical.

Whats with all the double postings?

Abramovich transformed us into English football's nouveau riche. Winning five Premier League titles, five FA Cups, three League Cups, two Champions Leagues, two Europa Leagues, two Community Shields, one Super Cup and finally the Club World Cup in February, his investment and oversight helped turn us into a powerhouse of the modern game, shattering the status quo.

Clearlake, Egbali and and Boehly - how's the next chapter going ?

Turning us into Everton under Moshiri when he first started splashing big cash.  They spent what £600-700m in however many years and were utter dross. We’ve spent £1bn in 3 windows and are utter dross. Parallels are similar.

Though Evertons success and silverware cabinet was never anywhere near our levels attained. Clearlake Egbali and Boehly are presiding over the biggest collapse since the Roman Empire. Pun intended.
