I am not even totally sure that the BlueCo Out slogan really hits the right mark.

For much of the Clearlake investment base I would imagine that the trade name of BlueCo means very little.

Clearlake Out getting social media and national news coverage would surely damage the image more than some made up trading vehicle name to cover up this money laundering pyramid scheme.

Excellent point

Fantastic point!

100% correct as well.

They are probably laughing at us fans for chanting about a name they made up while drunk on champagne!

Clearlake Out would be much more damaging to the brand.

I’m wondering if anyone on here knows anyone organising any part of the protest and could get them to possibly make new banners targeting Clearlake instead or targeting the individual people.

Or even somehow reaching out to Chelsea twitter people like Chelsea Fan TV, George Benson etc… and getting them onboard with targeting the real brand name instead.

Hurting the real company or the real names behind them will carry more weight than a made up name IMO.

Well done @WhiteWall for bringing this up!

Clearlake : Eghbali, Feliciano

BlueCo : Eghbali, Feliciano, Boehly, Wyss, Walter

I think you need both groups in there for completeness.

Clearlake/BlueCo OUT

Clearlake have a London Office, 45 Old Bond Street Mayfair.

Too late.

Protest is not going to do f**k all. BlueCo are not leaving so deal with that, any change that’s going to come is via monetary consequences that’s the only thing they understand.

Simpler to just say everyone out, except Billy McCulloch of course.

Ideally somebody in the media needs to be digging into that story about their Cayman Islands fund that Clearlake set up as mentioned on the main thread about the owners. That ought to be getting scrutiny from the SEC.

Whilst the blueco/clearlake out protests are great I think there should be a concerted effort in the ground to make it known that they shouldn't pick f**king Marco Silva as our manager. As that's clearly what we are sleepwalking into.

I can't stand that guy. He's so cringy, spouting his catchphrases every 30 seconds.

No idea who this bloke is but being double badged sat in your own living room chatting to a camera is pretty much why football is so f**ked in this country.

Regardless of what you might think of him, it does seem awfully coincidental that they are trying to shut his channel down a few days after they posted some potentially damaging information about Clearlake's investment in Chelsea.

Have to put the man aside and still take on the message.

It like Johnny's passion for Chelsea. He has been spot on about what blueco have done, and continue to do, to our club.

while my gut feeling, in addition to who Clearlake are, were my reasons for being against this ownership from the get go, Johnny did the digging, he found out straight facts on what Clearlake are doing, all this pr bs they spin and the certainly immoral and possibly illegal stuff they have done.

This is 100% Clearlake pulling in favours to take his channel. We have seen how thy have bought the media.

He does come across a bit nuts at times, but his heart is in the right place and he does love the club. I can't watch too much of him though for the reasons you listed. I don't really watch too much Chelsea content on Youtube anyway, it's basically just reading Twitter news which I can do myself.

The worst of the lot is the official Chelsea Youtube channel. I can't stand watching our players act like clowns in some sh*tty cooking challenge after we have taken another beaten on the pitch. I just find the state of the club to be a complete embarrassment to be honest.

This is only true if you think of BlueCo as a billion-dollar business. There is a chasm between a billion-dollar business and a $95bn private equity fund that basically trades billion-dollar businesses. There is no monetary consequence for Clearlake specifically, they can write off their ~2bn stake in Chelsea tomorrow as a footnote in their books and offset it against money they made with other ventures.

Protest is the one thing that is affecting these clowns. Only protest led to them having to make statements to the media. It's protest that has led to a forensic examination of their finances, laid their fraud bare, and damaged their reputation with their investors and lenders. Protest is the only way to ensure financial consequences for a corporation of this size.

And perhaps one day our club will have a soul again.

Anyone can get a copyright strike issued. There are botfarms dedicated to scanning videos for alleged unauthorised use of footage or music and pinging the creator with a strike. YouTube's 'process' makes any proceeding practically impossible for creators outside the US to defend or respond, as it can involve court-ordered arbitration in the US. It's been a big topic in the music/music gear space for a few years, where some really big teaching and audio production channels have had copyright strikes levied against them by the big record companies using third parties.
