Chelsea, 'President of Business' Report: Tom Glick will depart as a new CEO will be appointed.
In the near future, Chelsea plan to name a new CEO. Chris Jurasek, a partner at Clearlake Capital, is apparently joining the team to reorganise things behind the scenes, particularly in terms of business.
However, those stories from a few weeks ago didn't provide any information about what would happen to Tom Glick, our current CEO and 'President of Business', who was appointed and given that absurd title just last summer (in fact, he was the first appointee of the Boehly-Eghbali government).
Glick isn't going to play second fiddle; instead, he's going to depart, according to the most recent exclusive from The Times, which probably won't surprise anyone else but those in charge of the headlines.
While this is going on, The Guardian reports that Glick's departure is a "unrelated development" to the independent investigation that looked into and recently delivered their findings about Glick's handling of the Katrina Kim case last September — which led to the almost immediate firing of Damian Willoughby, his first hire, though only after initially dismissing Kim's complaints.
The alteration at the top of our "Business" probably has more to do with the club's finances and relationships in any event, like the fact that there aren't any significant shirt sponsors set up for the upcoming season on the front or sleeves.
