…meanwhile
It gets worse.
Sounds to me like an illegal approach and tapping up a player under contract

Did Boehly take him to Blackpool too early?
They will have to overpay, or the deal might all fall apart now.

More interested in where all this money is coming from.
FFP rules have shifted so I’m not 100% sure, but I thought a recent(ish) change allowed for a short period of external investment after a change of ownership.

To be fair, Boehly though tapping up was the same as laying up.
It doesn’t seem right to me. They appear to have got away with all the money Abramovich pumped in - did the club pay that back?
And now the new owner is spending like a drunken sailor on shore leave, on the back of multiple seasons of heavy spending at Chelsea.
Football financial accountability needs massive reform.

‘We need to go away and regroup’
FT: Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea
Chelsea
Chelsea boss Graham Potter, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a tough game for us. Losing Ruben and Aspi at half-time. You can see in the two teams the different schedules. Newcastle have one game a week and we have a tough schedule. That showed. But there were also too many enforced errors. We got through a few times but we didn’t have enough quality.
"In a game of few chances, they got a winner. We changed things but we didn’t have enough. You could see in the first half they were pushing us back. We could not get out of the defensive third as much as we like. So we put on an extra man in the middle of the pitch. Conor had a good shot but then our defensive line was a bit off and we conceded a good finish.
"For different reasons, you have 13 matches in six weeks, a lot of those games away from home. It is what it is and it has been tough challenging. We have a break now and we need to re-energise. For us in terms of what we’ve had with an incredibly intense period, it is what it is. We need to take the positives. A lot of the boys will be away but we can get away, regroup and go again when we come back."
Another manager coming up with some lame excuse…
He never said a word when he was at Brighton and used to play LFC in the middle of their gruelling schedule - Way out of his depth at Chelsea
He may just not have realised how gruelling it actually is.
