About this episode

Clearlake Capital have taken “full control” of Chelsea, purchasing Todd Boehly’s minority stake. Kate Mason is joined by Matt Slater, Liam Twomey and Rob Green to get into why Boehly’s four year affiliation with the club has come to an end, and what it means for the Chelsea ‘project’. Plus, Matt explains Clearlake's £5bn valuation of the club - more than double the purchase price back in 2022, and we get into the latest on Chelsea's stalling stadium plans. Host: Kate Mason With: Liam Twomey, Matt Slater and Rob Green Executive Producer: Adam Jones Producer: Jay Beale Videographer: Lara Sinclair Hosted on Acast.
