Chelsea Co Owner Todd Boehly has finally opened up on Chelsea ownership fallout with the Clearlake after just 2 years of acquiring the London club.
It’s said that the American consortium are exploring options for how to move forward after just two years in charge.
The consortium, lead by Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly, took over from Roman Abramovich in 2022.
Boehly, who has prior experience in sport through his involvement at MLB side LA Dodgers, is part of Guggenheim Partners and also has the backing of Swiss businessman Hansjorg Wyss.
Clearlake were co-founded by Behdad Eghbali and Jose E Feliciano and are an American private equity firm.
According to close sources, it’s said that….
All major decisions have to be signed off by Eghbali, Feliciano and Boehly, which possibly explains why there has been no significant progress on the plans for Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge stadium…
To this effect a major outburst has emerge among the Chelsea owners, Todd Boehly believes his working relationship with Chelsea co-owners Clearlake Capital is at breaking point and that a resolution must be found to avoid a Stamford Bridge civil war.
However, Boehly believes he can quickly raise over £2.5 billion to make an offer to Clearlake that would also give Chelsea’s majority shareholder a profit on their initial investment.
Investors are said to be ready to back Boehly, who is believed to have a 20 to 30-year vision in Chelsea, which would include a new stadium.
