Nick Candy can push Chelsea a step closer towards pioneering a revolution in the Premier League that follows in the footsteps of the Bundesliga.
The British property tycoon, who has registered interest in buying the west London side as part of a consortium offer, has pledged to give fans a seat on the club's board if his bid is successful, a Candy spokesperson told Sky News.
The 49-year-old's vouch to give Blues fans a voice and a say in how the club operates could trigger a knock-on-effect that encourages other club's in world football to follow suit.
