Since Todd Boehly took over Chelsea they have spent almost £1 billion on player transfers with the wage bill also increasing steadily with new signings.

“I think what we are trying to do is reduce the salary and essentially the opex [operating expenses] of the business by over $100m (£80.6m) per year,” said Clearlake’s co-founder Jose Feliciano at the IPEM private equity conference in Paris.
