Chelsea supporters can be forgiven for losing track of what is actually going on during the process of their club's sale in the past week.
As Raine suddenly pushed the deadline for improved bids back, the shortlisted bidders added new faces and finance to their offers, whilst the pressing concern over the club's sanctions by the UK Government created a ticking clock, each passing tick adding more tension.
There at times, has been a farcical tone to a process that is truly seismic in proportion for the future of Chelsea. Whoever wins the billionaire auction will define the next era in west London. A feeling that fans have been forced to sit through some bizarre football version of 'The Price is Right' as each owner has come on down and sold their vision.
