Todd Boehly is now confident investors will help him with full Chelsea takeover | OneFootball

Chelsea part-owner Todd Boehly is now confident that investors will help him with enough money to buyout Clearlake Capital and gain full control of Chelsea Football Club.

Boehly has a minority stake at Chelsea at the moment but he is hoping to gain a full takeover of the club after relationships have broken down between him and Clearlake’s people, namely Behdad Eghbali who is heading up that company.

The problems occur with too many cooks in the kitchen, and it seems that there has been so many disagreements recently that the working relationship has become untenable and is now being described as a n ownership civil war at the club.

Boehly confident of a full takeover

Boehly vs Clearlake

According to The Guardian, Todd Boehly has lost faith in his working relationship with Clearlake Capital, the US private equity firm that owns a majority shareholding in Chelsea, and wants to find a resolution that would prevent civil war breaking out at Stamford Bridge.

The report says Boehly is confident that investors are ready to provide him with sufficient capital to complete a full takeover. There have been strong denials that the American billionaire is hoping to sell his 38.5% stake, which is split equally between him, Hansjörg Wyss and Mark Walter.

Clearlake though apparently do not want to sell their stake, but I am sure that money talks and if they get offered enough then they might be willing to accept it, especially if Chelsea fans make it clear they want Boehly and not Clearlake, which appears to be the case right now.
