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?'
But he was removed off the agenda overnight, meaning Parish will now discuss the impacts of the pandemic on football clubs alongside Jean-Paul Petranca of the Boston Consultancy Group and a Financial Times moderator.
