Chelsea’s possession rumours proceed as we see increasingly more names linked with being taken with shopping for the membership from Roman Abramovich, who introduced he was promoting up final week.
It’s been a loopy rollercoaster trip since then and we’ve got heard all kinds of names talked about as eager to grow to be the brand new homeowners. There are lots of potential American consumers linked and plenty of imagine that’s the more than likely consequence.
Nevertheless, we’ve got been reliably linked with two UK businessmen this week, each are long-time Chelsea followers, and for me, that is the way in which we should always go.
Nick Sweet, a UK property developer, and Jamie Reuben, who’s paradoxically at the moment a part-owner of Newcastle United, are each reportedly eager on shopping for Chelsea and are each Blues followers.
Nick Sweet emerges as one other bidder on Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea, with a stadium redevelopment thought a part of the pitch.

I get the negatives round this and the truth that some say that the fervour they’ve for his or her golf equipment may cloud their judgements and related claims like that. However for me I can’t see that. I can solely see positives. These are businessmen at the start so regardless of it being the membership they assist, Chelsea WILL primarily be a enterprise first to them and they’re going to should be skilled while working membership operations, I believe that goes with out saying and that gained’t be a problem.
Crucial factor although is that they are going to genuinely care about the way forward for Chelsea FC, and they’re going to have a real ardour for ensuring it’s a success and that the golf equipment’ finest pursuits are stored at coronary heart, and the followers can be listened to. What number of different of those linked potential new homeowners are you able to say would really try this?
I believe that might be the final word consequence, having a billionaire in cost who’s used to working a profitable enterprise and completely loves the membership and has been supporting them since a child. What extra would you like?
Sweet doesn’t have an enormous web price and would wish a consortium, however Reuben, though he must promote his shares in Newcastle first, has a reported household web price of £21.5bn, which might be a really secure begin to purchase Chelsea with.
It’s fascinating instances and I get the arguments, however for me, having a Chelsea fan as our subsequent proprietor must be the precedence so long as all the things else checks in and so they have the wealth to do it.
Sweet and Reuben collectively? Who says no?
