Chelsea have tonight confirmed the long awaited news that terms have been agreed on a deal to sell the club to a consortium lead by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
Boehly has been the front-runner in the race since the very start, and from the moment he was chosen as the “preferred bidder” and entered into exclusive talks with the current ownership, this moment has seemed inevitable.
The club statement outlines various details of the deal, including promises of major investment. The £2.5bn being spent on the club will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account and then spent on charitable causes as is Roman Abramovich’s wish.
An additional £1.75bn has been committed to investment in the club, stadium, academy, Women’s team and Chelsea Foundation.
Subject to approval from the Premier League and the UK government, the statement claims the deal is expected to be completed later this month.
At long last the UK government has achieved the agender they had been pursuing to see to the end of Roman Abramovich at Chelsea. What has Abramovich or Chelsea got to do with the war in Ukraine. Why politicize sports. It’s a shame that Britain cannot muster its own decision.
Hm government are a bunch of two faced idiots . Persecute Amravich for not coming out against Putin, while turning a blind eye to the Arabs and there appoling record of human rights ! .Why because it’s worth billions in arms and trade and could see them take there money to the Americans if we upset them !
I just wanted to say thanks for everything yuh have been working with us as the blues Roma
CHELSEA NOW IN A MOUNTAIN OF DEBT JUST LIKE MAN U THEY WILL JUST BE PAYING THE INTREST TO THE BANK JUST LIKE THE GLAZERS WELCOME TO A GUY WHO WILL NOT SPEND HIS OWN MONEY LIKE ROMAIN RATHER LIKE ASHLEY.
