Martin Broughton, the man who helped pave the way for FSG to purchase Liverpool Football Club, is now preparing to make a bid of his own - to buy Chelsea.
The 74-year-old former British Airways chairman was installed as a temporary chairman of The Reds back in 2010 to help oversee the sale of the club after the partnership between then owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks collapsed.
Broughton was a key figure during a gruelling courtroom battle with the American owners which eventually helped broker the deal to allowed FSG to purchase the Merseyside club and in doing so reverse their fortunes on and off the pitch.
