There is no shortage of unrest at London’s Chelsea club, despite the fact that club football is currently on hold.

Business reported that one of the main owners of Chelsea, Todd Boehly, is dissatisfied with the decisions made by the people from Clearlake Capital at the club, particularly those related to transfers. Clearlake Capital, along with T. Boehly, manages the London club.

The Telegraph journalist Matt Law described it as a "civil war."

At Chelsea, the issue of shares is currently being resolved. Ideally, T. Boehly would like to buy out all the shares from Clearlake Capital. Otherwise, he might even withdraw from the club himself. It is currently difficult to understand how this situation will end, as there is a lot of tension within the club.

Theoretically, everything could end with yet another squad revolution, according to certain sources in the English media.

The most prominent face of Clearlake Capital is Behdad Eghbali, who has a significant say in the club's transfers.

At the beginning of the season, a notable moment was when Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly ostentatiously left the first match of the Premier League season, where his team was trailing 0-2 against the champions Manchester City.
