Chelsea just get one over on Liverpool with SURPRISE new arrival
Chelsea have just struck at the heart of Liverpool owners FSG with their latest arrival. That’s despite the ridiculous turmoil at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea appear to have got one over on Liverpool – or at least, their owners FSG. The Blues’ own ownership, Clearlake Capital, have hired David Beeston as a managing director, per City AM.
Now, you’re likely wondering what on earth that has to do with Liverpool. Well, Beeston was working as a co-head of FSG’s marketing firm.

His work was primarily in the US with FSG’s sport teams over there. In fact, his role at Liverpool was very limited to non-existent, it seems.
But he’s clearly someone who was valued highly – and someone who has instead taken a ‘promotion’ with Clearlake, rather than with FSG. Beeston will be making a move into football here, just not with Liverpool – he’ll be heavily involved with Chelsea.
Perhaps it’s clutching at straws, but it seems fair to believe that Beeston would have climbed the ranks further with FSG. He’d been there for 10 years and is quite clearly valued in a way that coincides with elite-level football.
It’s Chelsea, though, who will benefit from Beeston.
Chelsea’s chaos
This is something of a surprise, given Chelsea’s troubles at the moment. Clearlake own the majority of the Blues (around 61%) with Todd Boehly owning around 12%.
The relationship between the two parties has broken down beyond repair, however. Both are now ‘considering their options’, per the Mirror.
There’s a genuine chance that a sale is on the horizon – and that makes a significant hire a surprising move. Beeston will be working closely with Chelsea but for how long? Are Clearlake actually in it for the long haul?
There are a lot of questions to answer at Stamford Bridge, and now there’s at least one to answer at FSG.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
