- before the second bankruptcy, the wife of Michael Essien bought the club via auction
- Dennis Wise (a name I haven't heard in many years) has been a key figure as CEO over the last few years, while Thierry Henry is also a stakeholder in the club
- they've been promoted three times over the last six years
- Cesc Fabregas, who was an assistant coach there last year, has today been promoted to head coach
- the squad features names like Pepe Reina and Alberto Moreno, but also former top talent Patrick Cutrone and Andrea Belotti, with Raphael Varane apparently also joining

weird stuff.

Is this the same club that DAZN had a short-lived series on a few years ago? I watched that and I think it was them?
