Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia have been locked in talks with Chelsea bidders this week ahead of final offers being made for the club.
They have already met with the Ricketts family, and Todd Boehly will head to Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
Sir Martin Broughton and Stephen Pagliuca have also been granted access to key figures as the sale of the European champions gathers pace.
Director Eugene Tenenbaum has been made available for interview, while bidders are also expected to be granted access to first-team manager Thomas Tuchel if required.
Final offers for Chelsea have to be in place by April 11, with US merchant bank Raine Group hoping to put forward their preferred bidder to the Treasury by April 18.
The four shortlisted candidates have already been given access to Chelsea’s ‘data room’, which contains up-to-the-minute financial details, including the current wage bill.
American hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin, who is backing the Ricketts bid, was among their party to meet key figures. Other members of the family’s consortium, who own the Chicago Cubs, have since returned to the US for the start of the baseball season tomorrow.
Chairman Buck and directors Granovskaia and Tenenbaum are not only being questioned by bidders over the state of Chelsea and its future prospects, but also liaising with Raine over the process.
Bidders’ commitment to on-field success, development of all areas of the club and plans to rebuild the stadium are all seen as key factors in the decision over who will be put forward for approval by the Government.
They must also pass the Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test.
Chelsea, the Premier League and the Government want the sale to go through as smoothly as possible following the sanctioning of Roman Abramovich.
