Prospective Chelsea owner Nick Candy explains why doesn't want to follow Manchester United model

Prospective Chelsea owner Nick Candy has confirmed that he wants to run the club differently to Manchester United if he is successful in his attempts to purchase the west London outfit.

Candy, who is a London property developer, made his Blue Football Consortium's £2bn-plus offer for the club ahead of Friday evening's 9pm deadline. The Blues are in desperate need of a new owner following the wealth of sanctions that were placed on Roman Abramovich by the UK government a little over a week ago.

Abramovich was heavily sanctioned following Russia's invasion of Ukraine last month. The sanctions imposed on him means that Chelsea are currently unable to sell tickets, merchandise, sign new players, sell players and offer new contracts to players and staff.
