Chelsea Football Club is currently in a very unenviable position and the battle for a new owner is still ongoing the problem will certainly not be resolved soon.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is also making somewhat ambiguous statements, but it is inevitable that there has been a narrow circle of candidates who could become the new face of the “Blues”.
The rich Ricketts family will travel to London to talk to the people in charge of the club (Raine Group), in order to find out if they are the first candidates on the list of buyout offers. The wealth of the Ricketts is estimated at around 4.5 billion dollars, and their main and first representative was the businessman Joe Ricketts, who in 1995 merged his two smaller companies into one, and thus formed the company known today as “Ameritrade”. His son is in a high political position in the state of Nebraska. Also, the majority of owners of the baseball club are from Chicago.
The race is in full swing, but the English media report that the whole saga will last another month at most and that the club will change owners within that period and find themselves in completely different hands. However, not everyone has words of praise for Ricketts. The president of the association of Chelsea fans from Chicago, who wrote a public letter in which he addressed the public, alluded to the fact that family is not the right solution for Chelsea, and that the goals of the club completely deviate from the goals and ambitions of Ricketts.
What is also known is that the last official offer, made by Nick Candy, a British businessman, was around 2 billion dollars. According to what is written on the Island, it seems that the Ricketts have a small advantage over the others.
