Chelsea have seen a lot of changes in the last 12 months and so and while Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia ensure that continues on the pitch, things are still changing off of it too
The west London side have seen the likes of Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic leave the club as departures reached double figures and could still grow. Of course, Chelsea have been unafraid to bolster their ranks with the likes of Caicedo, Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson and Axel Disasi having joined this summer.
There has at least been a sense that the club are ironing out the creases and that appears to be happening behind the scenes too. On August 14 the notification that Behdad Eghbali and Jose E. Feliciano had each been named as a person with significant control in Blues Partners Limited came through. In turn, that company has significant control in BlueCo 22, the company that invested in Chelsea and RC Strasbourg. Todd Boehly was already named as a figure with significant control in BPL.
The Clearlake Capital duo's introduction to the filing on Companies House appears to be due to the cessation of Blues Investment Midco Limited as having control, with the alteration being registered as occuring on June 30.
BIML saw the appointment of a voluntary liquidator and a special resolution to wind up the company in July. Both Feliciano and Eghbali were directors of the company into fellow Clearlake Capital and Chelsea board member James Pade.
