A group of Chelsea supporters are planning to protest against Clearlake Capital, the club’s ownership group, ahead of this month’s Premier League match with Southampton at Stamford Bridge.
The blues take on the Saints in the Premier League on February 25 – the west Londoners’ next home game – and some fans have planned a protest. There is growing unrest amongst fans with the club’s model coming into question clearlake capital, the consortium that bought Chelsea back in May 2022 alongside Todd boehly, and the two sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley have come under the spotlight in recent weeks
The protest is about change and hopefully causing the owners to have pressure applied on them by their investors as it will hurt their public image.
The endgame is change the model or sell up. Also, their terrible treatment of staff, players and stripping of all of the club’s former assets.”
They continued: “The protest will be a peaceful one with lots of fans and a few banners so that the fans can have their voices heard by the club. As of this moment, the protest will not continue inside the ground. There are already a few hundred fans on board but we expect these numbers to rise considerably before Monday. We want to highlight what the American ownership is doing to kill football here in the UK with exploitation and money being their priority.
