With the bids for the ownership of Chelsea FC whittled down to three, all Chelsea supporters will be hoping that the process can be completed as quickly as possible. The bidding process seems to have taken an age and has compounded an already heightened emotional state.
Since the beginning of March, supporters have endured Roman Abramovich deciding to relinquish control and then being forced to sell the club. And then the bidding process, which for the main part has appeared as unseemly as a bunch of licentious, old rich men eyeing up girls in a seedy nightclub.
It has felt tacky and shaming, but there has been little we as supporters can do. We might see ourselves as the most important cog in the football wheel, but we have been left on the outside, looking in; noses pressed against the shop window watching in bewilderment at the goings on inside.
