對俱樂部的報價即將截止、True Blue想收購10%股份 - 切爾西足球俱樂部 Chelsea Football Club

https://bbs.hupu.com/52547774.html

虎撲03月17日訊


芝加哥小熊老闆里基茨和億萬富翁肯˙格里芬近日準備向切爾西開出一份“重磅”
報價，但由於此前里基茨的父親喬˙里基茨在2012年曾表示“穆斯林是我的敵人”後
受到抨擊。


里基茨夫婦在2012年被洩露的電子郵件中發表了一系列有爭議的種族言論 —
“穆斯林是我的敵人”，並且將伊斯蘭教描述為“邪教”，切爾西的支持者對里基茨
夫婦的參與感到擔憂。


一名狂熱切爾西球迷聲稱，如果里基茨接管球隊，他將不再支持俱樂部。另一位
支持者在社群媒體寫道：“里基茨一家不能靠近切爾西俱樂部。”


還有人擔心，如果里基茨接手，球隊裡的穆斯林足球運動員齊耶奇、坎特和魯迪
格很快就會離開。他寫道：“如果里基茨家族接管了這家公司，你就可以從那一刻開
始就跟魯迪格、坎特和齊耶奇說再見了。”


另一條貼文寫道：“看到這些評論後，我根本不想讓里基茨家族收購切爾西足球
俱樂部。”還有一位球迷寫道：“他們甚至不應該被考慮成為切爾西的所有者。”

Sources have said, in response to questions regarding a possible Premier
League's owners' and directors' test, that Saudi Media has no direct links
to the Saudi government. This week, the UK's sports minister, Nigel
Huddlestone, said: “Saudi Arabia is an important partner of the UK in
investment, intelligence and culture. We welcome Saudi Arabian investment.”

根據每日電訊報著名記者 Matt Law 的最新報導，想要競購切爾西的資方必須在
週五晚上九點之前提交最終報價。


總部位於紐約的商業銀行雷恩集團將在美國東部標準時間 (比英國時間晚4小時)
結束競標，並預計將繼續挑選出1-3個最合適的報價。


儘管在競標過程中可能會有不止一方勝出，但切爾西急切地想要盡快完成出售，
這意味著相關資方已經被警告說，他們的第一個報價可能會被當作最後一個報價。雷
恩集團已經明確告知所有人，由於阿布拉莫維奇被制裁，出售必須盡快完成。


三家以美國人為首的財團可能會接近最有利的位置，而週三，切爾西球迷塞巴斯
蒂安˙科勳爵和馬丁˙布勞頓爵士聯合組建的財團的進一步細節浮出水面。


科－布勞頓競購的具體資金來源尚不清楚，但兩人正在與投資銀行家邁克爾˙
克萊因 (Michael Klein) 以及經紀機構 Creative Artists agency 和 Evolution
Media Capital 合作，克萊因負責整合資金。CAA的介入可能會給切爾西競爭對手可
能提出的利益衝突指控打上問號，因為CAA負責打理英超聯賽和歐洲的一些頂級足球
運動員和教練的經濟事務。


洛杉磯道奇的合夥人托德˙伯利 (Todd Boehly)、瑞士億萬富翁漢斯約爾格˙
懷斯 (Hansjorg Wyss) 和喬納森˙戈爾斯坦 (Jonathan Goldstein) 已經提出了20
億至25億英鎊的報價。


里基茨家族本週確認了他們將會報價，並證實了他們與身價200億英鎊的肯˙格
里芬 (Ken Griffin) 合作的事實。


紐約噴氣機老闆伍迪˙約翰遜 (Woody Johnson) 預計將出價，而科勳爵 (Lord
Coe) 和布勞頓 (Broughton) 已表示，他們的團隊將在週五的截止日前報價。


英國商人尼克˙坎迪 (Nick Candy) 正在與前切爾西前鋒吉安盧卡˙維亞利合作
爭取在週五的截止日前獲得投標資金。同時有報導稱，沙烏地媒體集團也與雷恩集團
進行了談判。

"pioneers" for supporter involvement with promise of at least two fans on
the Chelsea board if their bid is successful. @Dannythefink was on the

John Terry-led 'True Blue' consortium attempts to secure 10% stake in
Chelsea for ￡250m

Nizaar Kinsella - Mar 18, 2022 16:17+08:00


Chelsea legend John Terry and former women's football star Claire Rafferty
are fronting up a ￡250 million ($329m) consortium called True Blue in an
attempt to buy a 10 percent stake in the club.


With Terry having delved into the world of NFTs recently, the bid promises
a high tech approach, allowing supporters, players and former staff to buy
fan tokens for upwards of ￡100 in exchange for voting rights.


However, they won't be able to fund a full bid so must insert themselves
into a wider deal involving UK, US or Saudi billionaires.


˙Who is behind True Blue?


Although the True Blue consortium is headed up by two high profile former
footballers, there are several other people driving the bid. In documents
seen by GOAL, one figure behind it is Chelsea supporter and prominent Tory
party donor David Meller, alongside his son Jonathan.


Harley Kisberg, founder of iTech Media, and Stanford Loudon, an investment
banker, are also among fellow fans and founding members. These connections
have allowed them to speak with senior staff at the club before launching
their bid.


Mellor, whose wealth comes from his luxury property and family beauty
business, could attract some criticism to the group. He was awarded a
lucrative ￡164m PPE contract during the coronavirus pandemic after
supporting Michael Gove's MP's leadership bid, with documents claiming he
benefited from a controversial 'VIP lane' that allowed influential
individuals an opportunity to circumvent the usual procurement process.


Furthermore, he was the chairman of the President's Club, a high-class
men-only charity event, which became embroiled in a sexual harassment
scandal.


After the scandal, MPs subsequently lobbied for him to step down from a
senior position in the Department for Education (DfE) after a report was
released by the Financial Times. Meller is also said to have previously
worked with Chelsea in a charitable capacity.


The plans, which have been seen by GOAL, suggest they will offer tokens to
Kai Havertz for scoring a Champions League-winning goal, and club captain
Cesar Azpilicueta. It would effectively offer current players shares for
their impact on the pitch.


˙Will fans support it?


The plans have already been presented to prominent fans ahead of the
announcement, in an attempt to begin a charm offensive.


It comes after the Chelsea Supporters Trust (CST), the west Londoners'
most influential fan group, called for several measures including a
'golden share' to be issued.


That golden share would allow Blues fans veto power over matters relating
to the club's identity including the club badge, kit or stadium, or
playing in a different league.


The last point is important after Chelsea were involved in the Super
League project which was widely derided by the vast majority of the
British public.


They went on to make six further requests but neither the UK Government
nor Raine Group, who are conducting the sale, will enforce any such
measures.


It remains on the negotiating parties to choose to bring in any fans
through either the golden share or the True Blue consortium. However, for
the True Blue consortium to even be considered, it will need considerable
momentum from supporters.


The principal consortium partners now have until Friday at 9pm UK time
(5pm EST) to make their offers. The list will then be whittled down to
three or four bids for further discussions and negotiations before a
decision is finally made.


The Government is not involved in any of the decision-making but is simply
there to ensure Roman Abramovich doesn't take any of the money while he is
sanctioned. The money will either be frozen or given to some sort of
charity.
