With too many grievances spilling into the open, Clearlake and Boehly are looking for ways to buy each other out
If there is one thing the figures at the heart of the battle for Chelsea’s soul can agree on it is that they do not like each other. A little over two years since they put together the takeover that ended the Roman Abramovich era, neither Clearlake Capital nor Todd Boehly is pretending there is a way to salvage their relationship.
Too many grievances have spilled into the open over the past week. There is talk of cultural differences, of conflicting views over how to run a football club, and a rapprochement is unlikely given that Clearlake, the US private equity firm that owns a majority shareholding, and Boehly are looking for ways to buy each other out.
