OutByEaster? Posted August 31 Moderator Share Posted August 31 4 minutes ago, sne said: Well yeah kinda. If they want Boehly to vote on something football related I'm sure he will vote as they please. They "control" 2 out of 20 PL clubs now that Sheff U were relegated. Doubt that owner would go against MBS. I don't think they're particularly interested in Boehly and I'm not sure they have any influence on the decision making at Chelsea - I think it's one that's completely overblown. If PIF were interested in influencing Chelsea, they'd own Chelsea. When the Saudi's want influence over something they buy it - this I think amounts to no more than a handshake for Chang and Egbhali in the hope they'll add their fund to those involved in The Line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they allowed to directly own 2 clubs in the PL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Sancho on a loan to buy (£290,000k pw) is another utterly baffling bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepDish Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Loving the fact that Chelsea could not get rid of several of their not wanted players. Hope Chilwell sit on his ass with his 200k a week wage in three years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders129 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Chelsea are going to be inconsistent this season. They’ll win some 5-0 and then fail to produce the week after. Also, if they go on a bad run I can see Maresca not having the experience to turn it around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess they've effectively restructured his deal, whatever the numbers, he was on say £200k a week for 5 years and now he's on £170k for 9 years, or he gets say a drop down to £150k for the next 2 years then it bumps up over time, kicks the can down the road The yanks do it all the time in their sports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is like baseball, the contracts are fully guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
