    Did he really pay $33mil or did he just give them washed up John Wall?

    ....an interesting read - I'm not hip to why a person would do this but I assume it was determined that even with losing $33mil he would still come out way ahead by keeping his company private a while longer.

    Speaking of, did anyone have "one of the premier soccer clubs in the world being sold as a consequence to the Russian invasion in 2022" on their bingo cards?

    Fake news.

    Tillman even can’t afford to hire a legit Head Coach for Rockets.

    I hope Chelsea players love Landry's gift certificates in lieu of bonuses. It's real money.

    "Yes, Mr Fertitta, we are looking at a valuation of about $3B for the Chelsea team."

    "Well hot dang. Do you take credit cards?"

    He tried to look like he had a little bit of money
    A grifter with a southern drawl
    Well I could tell right away by the the way he was runnin'
    That the boy was just a beggin' to crawl
    At least a junkie knows what he needs
    You get a man all strung out on greed
    And he'll give up everything he's got for just one shot of having it all

    Politics and actual human concerns aside. This Chelsea bidding process seems to have become a billionaire ego platform. Regardless if you have the money or not, you have to be seen as one of the 150+ members club that has contemplated bidding.

    But but according to clutchfans he’s broke! Which has always been the dumbest take I have ever read on clutchfans. Good debt is how rich people multiply wealth. Same with the Donald trump is not really rich. These are mind numbingly stupid takes …..

    Hope Tillman knows that gutting salary in Premer league gets you relegated, not top draft picks, right?

    I don't think creditors look at ambition as a sign of financial status, haha. When you get a mortgage you have to provide proof of income and assets. So imagine what you have to provide to secure and service billion dollar loans.

    Creditors most likely reaction to this news will probably be raising an eyebrow.

    I say, I'm sure the good stodgy people of Britain are quite chuffed that there's a four-way American* rat race to buy one of their largest teams! (One of the four parties does involve a "Sir", dont you know.)
