Chelsea Football Club has been purchased by an investor group led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
He made the following remarks after the takeover.
"We are honoured to become the new custodians of Chelsea Football Club," Boehly stated in a statement released by the club. Every minute of every match, we're all in – 100 percent.
"As owners, we have a clear vision: we want to make the fans proud. Our plan of action is to invest in the Club for the long-term and build on Chelsea's remarkable history of success, in addition to our commitment to developing the youth squad and acquiring the best talent.
I'd want to express my gratitude to British government ministers and officials, as well as the Premier League, for their efforts in making this possible.
According to a report in The Sun earlier this month, Boehly and his partners are worth a total of £10.86 billion.
According to the Times, this makes them significantly wealthier than Abramovich, who is estimated to be worth £6 billion.
