Todd Boehly has been the fan favourite to take over Chelsea football club, and they have now taken their claim to ownership one step further. In the eyes of many, the race is now his to lose. The powerful voices of the fans and Chelsea community have forced the Ricketts family to withdraw their bid leaving just three in the running to become Chelsea's new owner.
Todd Boehly is in tough competition with Sir Martin Broughton and Steve Pagliuca. Being a fan favourite may not be enough to secure the sale, so he has made magnificent strides in gaining the help of former chancellor George Osbourne.
