As potential Chelsea owner Todd Boehly reportedly considers plans to redevelop Stamford Bridge, the American's previous comments about sports stadiums have come to light.
The American, a part-owner of the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers, is part of a consortium interested in buying the Blues as Roman Abramovich looks to sell up. Boehly's group, which also includes Swiss businessman Hansjorg Wyss, was one of the first interested parties and remains in the mix after other candidates dropped out of the running.
The four remaining bids have until April 11 to make their case, with Boehly's consortium going up against bids from Josh Harris and David Blitzer, the Ricketts family, and Stephen Pagliuca. By then, more than a month will have passed since Abramovich - who has owned the Blues since 2003 - announced he planned to sell the club.
