If you had money invested in a football club, wouldn't you want the club to do well?
At the expense of Saudi Sportswashing Machine? No.
If the deal is of benefit to both clubs then what's the problem?

The saudis don't own clearlake. They just have money invested with them. Boehly runs the club not clearlake. The saudis would have zero say in how chelsea is run. We also don't know who else has money invested in clearlake. For all we know lewis might have.
I know people love a conspiracy theory but Saudi Sportswashing Machine loaning a player from chelsea isn't corruption. It's just football.
Sorry mate you are delusional on this one
A fit, motivated and mobile lukaku would suit the system
But that’s about as likely as Kane rejoining now
It's actually kind of similar to insider trading.The saudis don't own clearlake. They just have money invested with them. Boehly runs the club not clearlake.

A minister in the Norwegian government was recently kicked out for owning shares in a company that was awarded a huge contract by the government, even though he wasn't involved in awarding the contract.
It's certainly borderline.
Do the saudis have a seat on the board of clearlake or chelsea?
They don't really need one. They're just conveniently buying players Chelsea no longer need.
Villa have picked up Zaniolo. Will be interesting to see how he works out in the PL

Don't think it's a coincidence that Chelsea have sold a bunch of players to Saudi - this deal with Saudi Sportswashing Machine isn't particularly out of the ordinary, we done similar to help out Sporting with Porro reportedly and there was something similar going on with the Kulu & Romero deals maybe? However when there are links with ownership of the clubs involved it calls it in to question.
Those sales to Saudi stink though, sold at way over market rate
It's all abit messy. Saudi Sportswashing Machine misled the PL on the ownership, that was, maybe still is under investigation too. Footballs been murky for a while now, hard not to be suspicious of intentions when people have fingers I many pies, regardless its its the tip of the finger or the whole effing thumb
