It does not look like Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is planning to go anywhere despite talk of the American potentially selling his shares in the club.
In fact, it looks like Todd Boehly wants to increase them, though Behdad Eghbali and Clearlake Capital are unlikely to play along.
It has been claimed that Boehly and Eghbali aren’t getting along at present, hence speculation about the former possibly selling his shares.
However, Boehly appears to be in it for the long haul and does not seem too keen on the idea of departing Chelsea already.
Todd Boehly wants to stay at Chelsea for decades
Instead of selling his Chelsea shares, Boehly could look to buy more with the help of investors.
According to The Telegraph, Boehly has a 20–30-year vision for Chelsea and investors are ready to back the 50-year-old.
The same outlet claims that Boehly’s vision includes a new stadium, but the problem is Clearlake are not willing to sell what they own to Boehly and those who are prepared to aid him in his bid to increase his shares.
With Clearlake also thought to be open to buying out Boehly, civil war could break out at Stamford Bridge at any moment.
Chelsea fans are likely to take Boehly’s side in this potential civil war, with some already taking to social media to make it clear that they prefer him over Clearlake’s Eghbali.
Chelsea stalemate
With The Telegraph reporting that both Boehly and Clearlake are prepared to buy each other out, there could be a bit of a stalemate at the club.
However, it will have to get resolved eventually if Boehly and Eghbali’s relationship really is at breaking point and the two can no longer work together.
It remains to be seen what this means for Chelsea on the pitch. All Enzo Maresca’s side can do is try to win games, which has happened just once in the Premier League so far this season.
