Calpers not interested in Chelsea

The California Public Employees' Retirement System has denied media reports at the weekend that it is interested in buying Chelsea Village.

Calpers has issued a statement saying that it has no plans to bid for Chelsea Village, the controller of the UK Premier League soccer club.
Newspaper reports had claimed that Calpers was considering a £50million ($80m) takeover offer.
"Calpers is not making a bid for this company,'' spokesman Brad Pacheco said. "I have also confirmed that no manager working on our behalf is doing this."
