Chelsea FC's Backers Clearlake and Todd Boehly Weigh Ownership Options.

Chelsea FC's main shareholders, Clearlake Capital and Todd Boehly, are considering their ownership options for the English Premier League football club due to a strained relationship and lack of success on the field. Clearlake, which owns over 60% of the club, and Boehly are exploring the possibility of buying each other out. The disagreement stems from differing opinions on recruitment, underperformance, and the failure to progress on a new stadium. Despite these issues, both parties remain committed to the club. Since taking over from Roman Abramovich, the new owners have spent over £1 billion on players, but the team's success has declined. They have also sold homegrown players and offloaded properties to comply with financial regulations. [Extracted from the article]
