Agreed. Chelsea are owned by a crowd who made their money in Private Equity (PE) and what they are doing now is straight out of the PE play book. My money is on them using every trick in the book and then in 3 or 4 years time when all the **** is about to hit the fan they will list Chelsea on the stock market, after tarting them up to make them look appealing, and then leave all the mugs who buy shares (probably Chelsea fans) to eat the huge **** sandwich that club will be.
I will have no sympathy with Chelsea fans, they are a hateful horrible shower, but I don't like to see PE boys get away with **** like that time and time again. They, PE, are the evil side of capitalism.
