Chelsea's Supporters' Trust have revealed they met with representatives from Ineos in the wake of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's bid for Chelsea but have admitted they have concerns over the group's ability to complete a takeover before May 31st, the current deadline.
Todd Boehly's bid is currently under a period of exclusivity after being selected by Raine Group ahead of rival bids from Martin Broughton and Stephen Pagliuca, with an expectation they will be able to seal a deal for the club. The Blues' special operating licence, which has allowed the club to see out the season despite sanctions placed upon Roman Abramovich, is set to expire at the end of May.
Despite that progress, Ratcliffe and Ineos put in a late bid for ownership of Chelsea, though it appears they have received little in the way of response from Raine. Ratcliffe, however, has proved a determined figure with public statements from the group and a BBC interview after conversations with the Government.
