BREAKING: Marina Granovskaia set to receive £20m for this ’24 hours job done’
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia and chairman Bruce Buck are expected to be ecstatic once Todd Boehly’s takeover is finalised, according to sources.
Once the sale is finalized, a whopping £50 million has been set aside for bonuses, with Marina apparently taking the lion’s share.
The bonus is part of the £4.25 billion deal, and it will be given to employees who contributed to the deal’s success.
According to The New York Times, Granovskaia and Bruce Buck played key roles in determining the preferred bidder for the takeover and would be handsomely compensated for their work.
According to The Times, the pair will receive “transaction and retention bonuses” for their role in the club’s takeover process, which they handled alongside Raine Group.
According to the article, Granovskaia will receive 40% of the money (£20 million), with the rest going to Bruce Buck and a small group of Chelsea employees who have been working on the deal for the past two months.
According to the article, individuals who are eligible for bonuses worked “24 hours a day for five weeks” to close the deal.
Boehly is believed to be the person in charge of determining the club’s bonus scheme for employees.
