Clearlake

Did Clearlake do any DD on the rules of the game itself? £600m of capex and they didn’t buy a striker - would love to know if anyone there had even watched a game let alone understands how to build a winning team. Am not familiar with them on other things as I am London based, are they generally considered to be a good fund?

I’d get having a donut or two in the portfolio because you were caught on the wrong side of some macro moves, but this seems to be entirely their own fault
