Saw an apparent “leak of fixtures”. Says Saudi Sportswashing Machine at home. We’ve played them a bunch of times first game recently haven’t we? Could be flimflam.

"Sources at Chelsea are adamant Saudi Arabia's PIF has "zero interest, financial or otherwise" in the club. It has never been denied PIF have an involvement in Clearlake but it has been stressed the US private equity vehicle has 400 different investors across six continents and it is thought no shareholder is allowed to own more than 5% of the organisation"

Surely the number of shareholders and their stake is irrelevant, if they are using that network of ownership as a source of pushing through over inflated deals in order to raise funds, its a problem. Its not about the level of stake its how and by how much those relationships are benefitting the club and lets be clear, they are an investment company, they will do all they can to increase the potential for their investment.

I think the fact that half of their unwanted players have already been done and dusted to Saudi sides before other teams even realised it was a viable option shows they had a heads up.

Its a a clear issue, its a footballing equivalent of insider trading to manipulate the market and gain an advantage. It also moves the post from having an owner who is rich to needing one with more than one club to compete. People always say they find ways to navigate FFP and the finances and its proven right. Needs dealing with IMO
