Amazing how many people on here do not understand this.

I don’t think Boehly is involved (or trusted to be involved by the people with real power) in the sporting side anymore. He is lucky to still have a job and probably got a serious dressing down a few times over his performance in that role.

I don't think it's they don't understand anymore, it now feels like it's an agenda against the club by our own fans on purpose

Egbali and Boehly will be our new CB pair soon.

Wait, I’m going to create a twitter account until the end of the day and write a twit, claiming that I have an info about how Chelsea is selling Stamford Bridge to Leyton Orient. 
 

Can you please repost it here with some new irracional Boehly and Egbaly accusations, since that is all you do 0/24 !?

wrong Barca target

I do not want Kessie anyway

Ronald Araújo 
Alejandro Balde 
Frenkie de Jong    
Ousmane Dembélé 

Depends on his price / salary. If he is cheap, would add experience / depth to the midfield. Kessie is already excellent at pressing from midfield and pushing up to press in the attacking line, has a rock solid injury record, in general just a solid player. Could play in a 2 or a 3 midfield. We need numbers so I'm not averse to it tbh, although obviously wouldn't be the most exciting signing in history.

Sarr to just about anywhere to get him out

Boehly is still the owner right? He’s made himself the face of the club and will have to bear the brunt of the discontent if things don’t go well. Even if he’s stepped down from being directly involved in transfers , the new person or people were presumably hired by him and answer to him. If they aren’t good enough for their job it’s on him too. He’s single handedly more responsible for our current plight than anyone.

How about you stop being so sensitive and take a joke? The report is also from a legit reporter not some itk guy, whenever that's true or not is another case.

He was the public face of a consortium that bought and now own the club. He himself owns a %, but Clearlake Capital (cofounded by Eghbali) are the main owners and (real) decision makers.

Ah I see

Sounds like Pulisic is close to the exit, small amount between clubs apparently but expected to happen

I am not worried

What the hell’s going on with our shirt deal, btw? As awful as this deal with Stake sounds, how have we STILL not formalized something yet? Having new signings holding up last season’s shirt is some amateur hour shit.

Clearlake own 60% of the club. The rest of the shares belong to Boehly, Walter, Wyss and some smaller investors together. Of this 40% group Boehly has by far the largest personal stake (rumored to be around 20%) as well as the right to represent these 'silent partners' in any decision making process.

According to multiple reliable reports the voting rights between Clearlake and Boehly's group are split 50/50, despite the shares being 60/40 in favor of Clearlake.

So whichever way you put it Boehly has a massive say in what happens around the club and is not just a 'public face'. Which is okay, as long as he's learnt (and continues to learn) from previous mistakes. I for one think it's a sign of some decent progress that he's taken a step back and is trusting people with more football knowledge to do stuff in his stead, but of course the jury is still out.

Boehly is NOT doing the transfers

It's bad enough having to tell opposition fans this.
