Almost three months of speculation was lifted within one statemen, on Wednesday morning as the UK Government approved the sale of Chelsea Football Club to the Todd Boehly and Clearlake consortium after receiving legal assurances that the £4.24bn deal will not benefit Roman Abramovich after the Russian was sanctioned in March.
And with Tuesday evening's statement from the Premier League confirming they had approved the new owners too, all that is left now is for the club's official announcement and for the club shop to reopen, if Todd can find the keys.
Given how the sanctions have impacted the club since March, a lot of business and movement is likely to take place very quickly as the new hierarchy hopes to make a positive impression early and put Chelsea back on the right path before the start of next season.
