I am not the only Chelsea supporter who is already exhausted by the takeover process. I'm not sure if it's the seismic nature of events that have unravelled over the past month all pilling up on top of each other, making it a blur to rattle through.

The latest update on Tuesday revealed that Tom and Laura Ricketts, along with American hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, met with the club ahead of next Monday's deadline for improved offers.
