Nick Candy pledges he will keep spending at Chelsea if his takeover bid is accepted.
The London property developer made a £2.5bn proposal - through his Blue Football Consortium - to buy the club off Roman Abramovich as prospective buyers scrambled to get their offers in before Friday's 9pm deadline.
Other bidders include Hansjorg Wyss and Todd Boehley, who lead a Swiss-American consortium, the Ricketts family who own the Chicago Cubs and a group led by Martin Broughton and Lord Seb Coe. There was also an offer from a Saudi-led group.
