A shocking report by the Telegraph reveals that Chelsea Football Club is on the verge of a “civil war” between its owners, Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
According to sources, Boehly believes his relationship with Clearlake Capital has reached a breaking point, and a resolution must be found to avoid an internal conflict.
The situation has escalated to the point where both parties are considering buying each other out, with Boehly and his partners having the resources to fund a full takeover.
However, Clearlake Capital has insisted that they will not sell any shares, setting the stage for a potential showdown.
Boehly is confident that he can raise over £2.5 billion to make an offer to Clearlake Capital, which would also give them a profit on their initial investment.
Investors are said to be ready to back Boehly in his bid to take full control of the club, according to Matt Law’s report.
The news has sent shockwaves through the football world, with fans and pundits alike wondering what this means for the future of Chelsea FC.
The club’s ownership structure has been a subject of controversy since Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over in 2022.
