Todd Boehly seeks bid for National World, publisher of Scotsman

Todd Boehly, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, is contemplating a bid for National World, the publisher of The Scotsman and Yorkshire Post, shortly after shareholders approved a £65.1 million acquisition by Media Concierge. National World confirmed that it is considering a proposal from Boehly's Eldridge Media Holdings that could offer superior value compared to the current takeover deal. Despite this interest, there is no certainty of a formal offer being made. Boehly's potential acquisition is speculated to be a strategic move towards acquiring The Telegraph, which has been on the market for nearly two years. National World has recently recorded significant profits and was previously an underbidder in the Telegraph auction. The ongoing complexities surrounding the sale of The Telegraph, including regulatory challenges, continue to influence the media landscape.
