Reading today British tycoon willing to pay £2.5 billion plus £1.5 billion on new stadia

Abramovich only put the club on sale last week.

In all the arguments about FSG and new stadia I was told there were no billionaire owners out there. Well apparently there are !

From his comments I believe Abramovich is playing for time.

He initially handed stewardship to Chelsea Trustees Foundation, which basically meant nothing. He got eviscerated by the Ukraine woke pity mob bots on twitter and the NWO globalist press. So he then states he is going to sell the club but it would be a process...meaning lengthy timescale = playing for time.

I cannot see too many Billionaires with £4 Billion to spend on Chelsea, with little chance of return/profit, they are Billionaires for a reason. These are just paper rumours and click bait, most I have heard about being interested are groups of investors, which never works well as we have experienced with 2 owners.

I cannot see Chelsea being the same club after this, they will probably have to live within their means more, I cannot see them getting a sugar daddy like Abramovich willing to fund £100 million on 29 year old strikers on a whim going forward.

It is also suspicious that allot of the prospective buyers including billionaire property developers in the group, I can see Chelsea's new ground being on the edge of the M25 and lots of shiny new £multi-million penthouses on Stamford Bridge!

Well, we can now see why Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale so quickly, Sanctions have been imposed, so they cannot buy/sell players, I guess that includes new contracts, sell merchandise, sell new tickets, this totally hammers their business.

I guess they cannot even give new contracts to the likes of Rüdiger, Christensen & Azpilicueta.

Any buyers now will just low ball to try and get a bargain as they will be a distressed asset.

We can all complain about FSG, but at least we are ran as a self sufficient business, rather than a play thing of an Oligarch or state, where their status can change at anytime causing the business to collapse. Will be interesting to see if the government take more interest in Saudi & Abu Dhabi deals now.........

Vultures are circling Chelsea, over these sanctions. They can't sign or extend contracts of players.

8 players in total contracts expire this summer:
Rudiger
Niguez
Christensen
Azpilicueta
Musonda Jr
Drinkwater
Rahman
Clarke-Salter

I'd also put it that other players in their squad would rather be
elsewhere with all the uncertainty going on and I would love us to go after Kante. He has a year remaining on his contract and is still only 30 and we could get another 4 or 5 good years out of him. Our midfield has been inconsistent and we really need to look for opportunities like this to bolster it.

Who is that British tycoon, cannot be the richest Brit, Sir Ratcliffe who said it was too expensive, especially compared to the price he paid to buy Nice in France, who is well placed to qualify fir CL. And Sir Ratcliffe is a Chelsea fan, I think also a season ticket holder. So who is that tycoon then?
