Chelsea's 2022/23 season could be one of real hope with new ownership or one of real dread with uncertainty over how sustainable their position among the European elite will continue to be.
Thomas Tuchel and his staff are anxiously awaiting to see who the new owners of the club will be with the end of April set to give supporters a clearer picture of where the Blues are set to go post-Roman Abramovich. In the German's mind, whoever the owner is will have the capacity to maintain the club's current status due to the money it would take to purchase the club for the £3billion asking price outright.
"It is a huge amount of money," the head coach said in a press conference before the international break. "That’s why I am also confident because I think if somebody buys a club for this kind of money then it’s about challenging at the highest kind of level, then it’s about trophies, then it’s about winning and it’s about being the best you can. It's not about developing a project, it's not about making money with the club."
