Chelsea takeover: Gary Neville outlines how Roman Abramovich's sale will affect Premier League

Former Man United defender and now well known pundit Gary Neville believes Roman Abramovich's Chelsea situation will have a wider 'ownership' impact on the Premier League going forward into the future.

Abramovich's soon-to-be 19-year tenure of the west Londoners will be over with the Raine Group finally releasing the list of the four-five groups that made it into the next round of negotiations which could be concluded by the end of April. Todd Boehly and the Ricketts Group are joined on Raine's shortlist with the likes of Sir Martin Broughton's consortium and Stephen Pagliuca.

Whilst all focus has switched from the Russian oligarch to the potential candidates vying for the helm at Stamford Bridge, Abramovich himself has been able to detach from the situation with Raine handling the takeover dealings with senior members of Chelsea like Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskia.
