As we all know, Todd Boehly wants to acquire the entire Chelsea football club. But Clearlake Capital have not been willing to sell their majority shares at the club. This was the main story everyone was hearing.
Now things have changed drastically, and it might surprise the Chelsea fans. Although the fans have supported Boehly in this feud, they have been uncertain about the club’s future.
Till now, there is no official statement from the club. This indicates that this ownership dilemma is still going on behind the scenes. All the Blues fans are eager to know about their club’s future. In the upcoming press conference, new Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca might face some questions regarding this situation.
What is this unexpected twist?
According to the Chelsea Chronicle, Clearlake Capital is thinking about selling their shares to Todd Boehly. In a recent meeting between the two sides, it was being said that Clearlake Capital is completely focusing on player trade and business. They are not thinking about the club.
Previously, we saw some bizarre transfer activities from Chelsea. The Chelsea fans were blaming Todd Boehly for these activities. Now, we are getting a hint of the real entity who was behind all of these things.
From banishing Mauricio Pochettino to selling Conor Gallagher, everything was done with a business mindset. It is being said that Todd Boehly was against the sacking of Pochettino. It was Eghbali and Clearlake Capital who orchestrated the sacking of the Argentine manager.
Eghbali works in shadows
Most of the fans are against Clearlake Capital being the owners at their club. They want them out and it seems to be happening now, in the near future.
The fans have got to know the reality of Clearlake Capital. Now, everything is crystal clear in front of their eyes. We all know that fans play a massive role in football and for a club. During the announcement of the Super League, football fans proved their worth. European giants like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, cancelled their dream projects because of the large scale protests from the fans.
We feel that Clearlake Capital’s decision is partly influenced by the Chelsea fans. In modern-day football, these things are quite natural. No fan will want an owner who always sees their own profit instead of improving the club’s condition.
Todd Boehly has a background in running a sporting club. He also owns an American baseball team called the LA Dodgers.
Boehly-clearlake feud should not affect the players
At this point, the Blues are in a transition period. The owners need to focus on improving the club even more. During the takeover, the Blues have gone through a massive dilemma. At that time, Russian owner, Roman Abramovich, was forced to sell the club due to the Russia-Ukraine war. When these things happen behind the scenes, it affects the players and the fans a lot. Such things create uncertainty about the future of the club. Therefore, this issue has to be resolved as soon as possible.
After a long period of time, Chelsea fans are seeing some glimpse of redemption. Recently, their team defeated Wolves in a thumping 6-2 win. All the players will try to maintain this quality throughout the entire season. These feuds should not affect the performance of the team. The players should give their best for the batch at any cost.
If the ownership issue lingers for a long time, it will send a wrong message to the fans and the players. Recently, the Blues Co. appointed former Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca. Last season, the Italians helped the Foxes lift the championship title and promote back in the Premier League. Since coming to Chelsea, the Italian manager has aimed to bring a winning mentality along with a distinct identity to the players and the club.
