Its like when FSG came in and only really had experience of baseball… except instead of looking for experts in the field to manage the club Boehly just assumed it must work the same as America.
He’ll be absolutely stunned this summer when he learns he can’t just cut guys and void their contracts.
They could buy it back from him in a years time at a loss, he can write off the loss as a tax refund, and he can then buy it back from chelsea, so on and so forth.
Jackson’s shot conversation stats are padded by his tendency to contrive to find a way to fail to even get a shot off when presented with a good opportunity. His 1-1 was officially recorded as a 0.0 xG for exactly that reason
They are sooo bad these days, aren’t they… and among others, they were sunk by Havertz, a player they had in their ranks and then gave up on. Just like with Salah.

One of the popular ways VCs have stripped money out of once successful US businesses to bring them to their knees is over dodgy real estate deals like this.
Step 1 - Acquire a business with lots of store fronts that are owned by the business (primarily stores and chain restaurants)
Step 2 - set up a separate company and use it to buy the land and property
Step 3 - collect dividends on the back of a large increase in revenue for the businesses
Step 4 - lease the properties back to the businesses at WAY above market rate
Step 5 - Collect the risk free rent from the business and stand back and watch as they struggle to remain profitable with such massively increased operational costs
Step 6 - Eventually put the business into administration, walk away from the massive debts they accrued and then sell the real estate holdings from the other company
