Bruce Buck pulls out of summit after Roman Abramovich puts Chelsea up for sale

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has pulled out of a scheduled discussion at the Financial Times' Business of Football Summit this afternoon (Thursday) as the club braces itself for a change of ownership.

Buck was expected to speak alongside Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish in a 40-minute talk entitled 'View From The Top: What will be the shape of the recovery?'
