    Also, don't tell me it's exclusively a mental health issue while also reducing access to affordable mental health and/or not requiring insurance companies to cover it as part of a health insurance plan. Fuck off with that "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" bullshit.

    Easiest way to show how quickly this argument falters is realize that mental health issues are prevalent around the world and the tools used around the world for mental health are often much less than what we have available in the US despite our fucked up healthcare system.

  2. Thomas Tuchel to receive £200m summer war chest as Todd Boehly's Chelsea takeover edges closer

    Quote
    • The Boehly-led consortium want to send a signal that they are serious about eventually catching City and Liverpool in the Premier League

    • Todd Boehly is ready to hand Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel £200million to spend this summer with his takeover on the brink of completion after the Premier League formally announced he had passed its ownership checks.

    • Factoring in some anticipated player sales, Tuchel is expected to have around £200m at his disposal in the transfer market once the UK Government and European Commission rubber stamp the £4.25billion deal.

    • Jules Kounde and Josko Gvardiol both sit near the top of an eight-man list of defensive targets drawn up by Chelsea.

    • Kounde is expected to move to Stamford Bridge 12 months after seeing a transfer to Chelsea fall through after Sevilla moved the goalposts on a deal. He would solve the club’s problem on the right side of Tuchel’s back three.

    • Other than defenders, Tuchel could try to sign a new midfielder and has made it clear he needs to look at his attack but incoming business in both of those positions may be impacted by departures.

    • Romelu Lukaku and his representatives will speak to Tuchel and Chelsea’s new owners about the Belgian’s future, while the German is expected to allow Marcos Alonso to leave if the club’s valuation of the left-back is matched. Barcelona have been linked with a move for Alonso.

    • Other than moving quickly in the transfer window, Chelsea’s new owners will start work on new contract offers for Mason Mount, who won the club’s player of the year award, Reece James and possibly goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

    • Tuchel has made it clear that Chelsea will have to act quickly and decisively once the club are able to trade normally under their new ownership and Boehly, who spoke to the German and the squad after the final-day victory over Watford, is determined to do just that.

     

  3. I guess it all boils down to how the transfer of ownership handles the debt. At no point has Roman suggested he is interested in collecting on the debt accrued.

    If that changes who knows, but if not, with the revenue being produced in the EPL and Champions League, I don't see the money being spent changing as drastically as some see it.

    Quite a bit has changed since Roman joined the league regarding revenues.

    Spurs looking to fill the Chelsea gap.

    What makes people think Todd Boehly won't be spending money? I have no clue honestly, but all the statements have been about continuing to upgrade the squad and stadium while holding onto Tuchel.
