Todd Boehly speaks out on ownership ‘drama’ with stadium decision set to make or break relationship

Todd Boehly has spoken to the media once again, albeit in America again and not to the British press, where he was asked about Chelsea FC amongst other topics.

In an Interview with Bloomberg, Boehly suggested that the stories of a cival war between himself and majority stakeholder Clearlake Capital are dramatised, but did concede that the stadium decision could swing things into a sale on either side

Boehly said : “We have been aligned on what we are trying to do and build. It’s a team that’s young. It’s a team that’s got long contracts. And all these things were new, and to do all these things we have done it’s obviously because we are aligned.

“So if you look at what is actually happening and don’t follow the shiny lights you will see there is core stability and there has been a long-time theme. And I think we are executing on a plan that ultimately will have Chelsea where it belongs. I mean we are sitting top four right now.

“I think the status quo is just fine. We have learned from each other and I think we are going to be able to work it out any which way”.

“We have to think about long term what we are trying to accomplish. We have a big stadium development opportunity that we have to flesh out, and I think that’s where we either align or ultimately decide to go our different ways”

“But what has been written and talked about has much more drama than what has actually happened.”#

It is understood that Boehly wants to build a new stadium at Earls Court.
