Would love it to be Chelsea’s turn next. The only thing unfounded about it was that Ashley wasn't genuinely interested in selling as the next 11years showed. Had his bluff called on selling then disappeared. Edited April 29, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been fucking excellent for the Dodgers, bank rolled them into one of the most powerful teams in MLB today. I think the have the highest pay roll this season again, sitting at about 263.5 million and built a team of superstars. Be interesting to see what approach he takes at Chelsea but I imagine it similar to throwing money at it like Roman, within spending rules etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztoon Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Net worth he's around the 5bn I think. With him bankrolling the dodgers aswell..that's two huge pay outs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagCA Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) He is backed by huge wealth though, Eldridge ($40bn) and Clearlake Capital ($70bn) to name but a few Edited April 29, 2022 by MagCA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagCA Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 And our owners only had to pay a mere 300m, not 3.5bn! 1 minute ago, Gaztoon said: Still 2nd 😄😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Would rather have Newcastle Utd, just for our fanbase over Chelsea's scumbags any day of the week. I'm still of the mind that our potential massively outweighs Chelsea's long term as well. We'll get there and we'll be glorious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I think some of the problem is if the £1.6b isn't repaid it counts as an owner injection of funds and Chelsea are in breach of FFP and looking at a 12 point penalty and missing out on Top 4.

I maybe wrong but I think it is more serious than FFP. Chelsea owe Roman 1.6 billion or something. If Roman says, I want it back, then Chelsea or the new owners pay it back or the club goes into administration. I maybe misreading the situation.
