Out of interest, where do you place the Kroenke's at Arsenal within this paradigm?

Kronke Sports group is slightly different, they are a holding group focused on Sports teams and the ecosystem around it, things like media and real estate. This is their core business model.

Clearlake Capital (Chelsea's real owners) is a Private Equity firm. Their founding strategy -> The strategy was to shift between buyouts and distressed securities depending on economic conditions. This allowed the firm to take advantage of the 2008 financial crisis to acquire distressed securities and then sell them for a profit after recovery. They buy everything from Women's Clothing Brands to industrials, they have zero "interest" in a single industry, it's all about managing assets and return for their investors

Clearlake are owned by Saudi Arabia. It's just a shell entity to obscure multi-club ownership issues re Saudi Sportswashing Machine

Are you saying that the Kroenke Sports Group would be a more acceptable ownership model than the typical American ownership models?

Only partially true

Clearlake was founded in 2006 as a classic American PE firm, it's founders are Iranian and Puerto Rican. They current only have 2 clubs under investment and in terms of their total assets, football is probably 5-8%?

There is a lot of smoke re ME investment into Clearlake and may simply be a way to skip some multi-club ownership rules and swap clubs that are the front to sportswashing (lots of talk re Saudi's wanting out of Saudi Sportswashing Machine and into a club that gives them the ability to spend)
