The lengthy saga that is Chelsea's pursuit of new owners appears to be reaching its finale as all four of the final bidders have been informed they must submit their final proposals by the end of this week.
From that point onwards, American investment bank the Raine Group will mull over all of the proposals that have been submitted and determine who is the most suitable candidate to take the Blues forward as they adjust to life without previous owner Roman Abramovich. The Russian oligarch will receive no money made from the sale as a result of the sanctions placed on by him the UK government due to his ties with Vladimir Putin.
The last month or so has seen plenty of questions raised over Chelsea's future given the uncertainty that shrouds them - particularly at boardroom level. The future of director Marina Granovskaia has been up in the air, with some expecting her to also depart the club given her close working relationship with Abramovich.
