Every second that I’m not in bed I’m thinking about how badly I wanna be horizontal in bed and whenever I’m horizontal in bed I think yes I love being horizontal in my bed.
Infinite Athlete co-founder Charlie Ebersol on Chelsea's owners and Chelsea FC:
"First of all, Jose [Feliciano] and Behdad [Eghbali] it's difficult to explain how successful they are in their chosen business. The scale of Clearlake, even I didn't understand how that business was.
I've known Todd [Boehly] for a long time. I know how incredibly successful Todd is. Todd is a very rare investor, in that he doesn't have a lot of partners. And now he is an owner in I would argue, three of the seven most important sports franchises in the entire world, like the Dodgers, La Lakers, and now Chelsea. It's exceptional.
Additionally, I have never seen any of those three men go into anything that they don't take very seriously. And one of the things that you see in how they've approached the building of Chelsea is that level of dedication. The thing I think that's going to come out over the next couple of months when you look at Chelsea, is these guys have a very long-term vision on how they build things and when you look at what they're doing, the investment around the stadium, the investment around the hotel, and most importantly the investment around the team.
They went from the oldest team in the Premier League to the youngest team in the Premier League in 12 months. If you look at their wins there are wins above average likelihood, meaning the shots on goal, the pressure, and how much they've done, they are number one in the Premier League over the first four weeks of the season. So their record does not reflect what has been happening on the pitch.
And I think that that speaks volumes about how Jose, Behdad and Todd have approached building this team, in that they're patient and they understand that when you have a team that's built this way they will ultimately play to their respective level and look luck has a little bit to do with it.
And so, I would tell you that I am betting as much on Todd, Behdad and Jose as I am on the players that are on the pitch because I think that they're interlocked in that space.
They just don't miss, like they are playing on a timeline and with a quantum of money that allows them to build it.
I think the funniest misconception about Chelsea over the last six months in the press is that these guys are spending money like willy nilly. And when you actually look at how they've structured the deals, I mean, let's look at the fact that they have the largest Academy of any team, when you look at how they've structured the deals from an asset perspective of the value of the players cetera, they are running this at a level of proficiency. That is unbelievable."
