Berkshire u picking up anything on rangers becoming part of Chelsea group,
18 May 2024 10:51:57
Sorry John part of Chelsea group! So are they buying us out? Can they own another club in uk.
18 May 2024 10:55:54
Gut feeling John, is this good or bad.
18 May 2024 11:03:57
John do you mean Chelsea FC group or The Chelsea Group. The Chelsea Group are a group of companies in various fields worldwide.
18 May 2024 11:06:56
One Walter it’s allowed hibs run by Bournemouth, Dundee about to link with epl.
Tjbb imo a disaster, we would be a puppet on a string.
18 May 2024 11:09:02
If this was to go ahead it would probably have to be a minority share in the club, otherwise any chance of us ever playing in Europe again is gone. Similar to the city group this season with Man City and Girona.
Overall would not be a fan of this anyhow, all up for more investment but don’t like the idea of us being part of these groups that serve to feed one club.
18 May 2024 11:28:50
John are you meaning in the same sense that Girona are part of city etc?
If so then that's a disaster as we are a massive club and should not be feeder to a club like Chelsea, unless we are allowed to operate independently and just receive financial backing. Even then still a disaster.
18 May 2024 11:52:55
We should be fully independent, I really hope there is nothing too this. Investment is great but I'd rather struggle for another 10 years than be a puppet to another club.
18 May 2024 11:58:37
Might turn out to be a right kick in the Sandy Shaws.
18 May 2024 12:24:22
Anything that risks out participation in Europe will never happen, if it's a "friendship" where we get opportunity to maybe get a high quality loan player and they have first choice of any of our players for sale and some investment then maybe, Interested to see what that means.
18 May 2024 12:39:58
30% they can own of the club that’s what the city group need to get down to with grooms so they can compete in Europe.
18 May 2024 13:31:14
See tbh Scotland is miles behind now wouldn’t be the worst idea.
18 May 2024 14:08:17
That is an insult to our club and the fans. i'd be angry with that.
18 May 2024 14:34:47
Nothing on the Chelsea Group, John. I believe that Clearlake Capital, Pamplona Capital Management, (Halstead), and John Bennett's previous Group know each other through their trading operations and Gibson may have links from the past from California, (Santa Monica / San Francisco. That is where rumours might have started.
I'm still hearing that Gibson interested in further investment / Board seat. (I don't believe that Hong Kong Politics would detract from this.
Names from Scotland and SA (whisky link), still rumoured to be interest in acquiring shares.
Also heard Dublin links but this could be through the various Capital management operations of above Companies.

Girona not grooms.
18 May 2024 15:28:26
Cheers Berkshire, seems to be something stirring,
I mean Chelsea fc,
18 May 2024 16:43:51
Look at Troyes being part of the city group. An absolute DISASTER.
18 May 2024 17:15:56
Borna you can flip it and say look at girona tho.
18 May 2024 18:51:28
Something needs to change, that is for sure, but nothing changes until something changes.
18 May 2024 19:32:47
I'm not against anything different these days. We are currently going nowhere fast.
