  1. Manchester United would be dumb to not monitor the situation around Tuchel. He is a fantastic coach. I certainly could understand why he would choose to move on with the current environment. Hopefully we will have a clear path ahead at the end of the week regarding our new ownership. Either way I wouldn't be shocked if he moved on. Is there really that big of an outcry in London regarding this, or is this just a bunch of manure and bin dipper pundits trying to entertain people? I'll go ahead and put money on the second.

    Although I will add -  I almost always root for you all to win against non Top 6 clubs - It does a club like Southampton no good if Burnley, Norwich and Watford pick up points on y'all.

    Having the teams, Southampton are actually competing against, get beat down is the goal. We are not competing with the Liverpool's, Chelsea's, and City's of the world. 

    It's a messed up way to be a fan, but it's the League we got.

    And honestly with all the appropriate movement of players from Southampton to Liverpool it can't bee too difficult. Hell they both have red in their kits, too.

    Germany has it figured out (for the most part)

    Right? Put all your best players on one team in the league, pretend the season means anything and hope Bayern wins it all.

    The FA ruined the EPL.  They never should have allowed sales to foreign ownership.  EPL teams are now almost universally owned by a laughable collection of the biggest cunts in the world.

    Haven't they been punished enough?

    Kepa has been special for us. But no, we ruined the EPL per Jamie, time to take our lumps.

    tough month for “your boy”

    Hah, no I think Terry is probably a piece of shit outside of soccer. He was a hell of a footballer for Chelsea and I appreciate that about him. That being said, the only reason I'm posting his photo is due to the fact I'm fairly certain he slept with your wife, hence your deep seeded hatred for everything Chelsea.

    This would be like a person who covers college football explaining how Alabama has been winning for 13 years and then explaining how Clemson & Georgia have joined the party. 

    I love this.

    Exactly. Those meant for O&G enjoy risk. Those in O&G wishing there wasn't risk shouldn't be in O&G.

    I'm 3rd generation O&G and have been in it for 15 years. I don't mind risk, but that doesn't mean I can't wish for stability. I have positioned myself to be "boom/bust proof" to mitigate the risk and make sure that if I transition out of the industry that it won't come with a big pay cut. But to say that those wishing there wasn't risk shouldn't be in O&G is quite the broad brush, doctor.

    Right and I wish for patient's who listen to medical advice, yet it isn't going to happen. We both have no control over those metrics in our field.

    This why I love it.  O&G is an industry for those with very high risk tolerance.  Those that can survive the swings and attrition end up being handsomely rewarded, assuming they have positioned themselves correctly (and it takes some luck too).

    I get you’re angry that Chelsea is getting its dick knocked in the dirt

    Honestly most Chelsea fans do not feel that Chelsea is getting its dicked knocked in the dirt. I think most Liverpool fans, specifically here, hope that is true. But nothing up to this point suggests that Chelsea is going anywhere. It really is just who will be writing the checks and are they from the Middle East or US/Europe.

  11. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/03/14/chelsea-tell-suitors-show-money-friday-takeover-deadline-looms/

     

    Summary

    1. Prospective buyers of Chelsea are being told to “show us the money” by the Raine group.

    2. Interested parties (like Candy) are in a race against time to form consortiums and prepare bids.

    3. Interested groups have been given access to Chelsea’s last set of accounts and their enormous wage bill to minimise the chance of the winning bidder stalling on a deal or pulling out

    4. Raine Group hopes a sale could go through by the end of the month.

    5. Due to the sanctions, Chelsea can not afford for the sale to be delayed by any problems over funding, particularly as the prospective buyer also needs government approval before being put through a Premier League owners’ and directors’ test.

    6. Raine wants bids to be submitted by close of business on Friday

    7. Raine also demand evidence of funds to be provided in the form of legally binding commitments. Any individual or group who cannot offer legal guarantees will be dismissed from the process and copies of bank statements will not be enough.

    8. An industry expert told Telegraph Sport: “No matter how wealthy an individual or group is, when you are talking about the figures involved to buy Chelsea, it is not easy to document a legal commitment of funds from a standing start in such a relatively short space of time. This has to be done quickly or there is a risk the club will fall apart and there is too much transaction risk to take.”

    9. Over 150 individuals and groups have made contact with Raine, the New York-based merchant bank, and a bid between £2billion and £2.5bn has been made by the Todd Boehly-led group. It is also understood there has been firm interest from the Ricketts family and Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets.

    10. Nick Candy, who was at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to watch Chelsea beat Newcastle United, is still planning to make an offer of his own before the deadline that was pushed back from the original date of Tuesday.

    11. Sources close to Candy claim he has been approached by a number of investors keen to partner with him and that there will be no shortage of capital from which he can make a bid. On Monday, the 49-year-old was said to be working out who the best partners would be to commit to working with.

    12. While Antony Ressler is not expected to make his own offer for Chelsea, his investment company, Ares Management, has offered to provide some funding for groups bidding for the European champions.

    13. Chelsea’s need for a quick deal, among other things, places doubt over a claim that a £2.7billion bid has been tabled by the Saudi Media Group, involving a private consortium fronted by Mohamed Al-khereiji who claims to have no Government links despite being pictured on several occasions with crown prince Mohammed bin Salman.

    14. Quickly picking through any Saudi-based consortium is rated by those close to the Chelsea sale as being extremely difficult with any bidder needing approval from Raine, the UK Government and the Premier League.

    15. The Ricketts family have come under fire in Chicago, where they own the Cubs baseball team, for their reported interest in buying Chelsea. An article in the Chicago Sun-Times, the second biggest newspaper in Chicago, hit out at the Ricketts family, accusing them of making excuses for failing to invest in the Cubs.

    16. Chelsea on Monday updated supporters that the club are pushing the Government to amend their operating licence to allow them to sell tickets, with fans who had not already done so by last Thursday still waiting to find out if they can buy a ticket for Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough.

    I know people are piling on re: your oligarch overlord, but you owe it to yourself to learn more about the Hillsborough disaster. That's a disgusting thing to say about a horrific, preventable tragedy and you're pissing on the graves of 97 innocent people, many of them children.

    You wanna talk shit about Liverpool, there's plenty. Stevie's slip. Any number of Luis Suarez incidents and the club's embarrassing handling of them. Shit, we employed Roy fucking Hodgson for awhile.

    But don't parrot ignorant, abhorrent vile about the people who lost their lives due to police incompetence. 

    Hillsborough is Liverpool's Bonfire. If you ever want a cheap low blow, it's there. It, however, never feels right after you say it.

     

    re: Chelsea Owners

    One Fireman's Wife must've been fucked by John Terry.

    Second, I have no desire to have Middle East overlords, granted I have zero fucking control over who is picked. I might adjust my fandom based on whom they hire, hell maybe I go fly fishing more often on Sat/Sun AM.

    Third, fuck the fans that chanted Roman's name. They need to know their place. Try not to make gross assumptions that the vast majority of Chelsea fans would prefer Roman to stay after what has transpired in Ukraine.

    I personally was hoping Boehly and Wyss made it happen, but who know.

    Let broader society squawk to their hearts' content. They benefited from almost a decade of depressed prices while trying to tear the whole industry down without any meaningful effort towards replacing it with a viable alternative, viable jobs with similar pay for those displaced, and looked the other way when hundreds, if not thousands of small towns in plays across the nation had their economies gutted.

     

    That last sentence aptly describes Midland in the 1980s. Not so much Midland 2010s. I guess there was a slow down of houses being built in Pecos f'n Texas and a swath of O&G workers had to hold off on their next Raptor/Tahoe Denali purchase.

    My pops in the 80s was lucky enough to find a job at the country club while I watched all my friends move away. I have a hard time providing much sympathy to an O&G industry that has become dependent on a barrel landing at 100 to feel their industry is running smoothly. Anyone with any knowledge of O&G historically is asinine to think the industry will have long term stability. It never has and never will. That is one of the main reason's I went into medicine. I have no desire to be in an industry that relies on a metric that I have little to no control over.
