Turkish billionaire Muhsin Bayrak is said to be 'very upset' after a bizarre error led to him missing the deadline to submit a bid for Chelsea, with Roman Abramovich looking to sell the European Champions.
Abramovich confirmed he was putting the club up for sale before he was sanctioned by the UK government. While the sanctions limit money that can go into the club through means such as ticket sales, it does not mean a takeover cannot be completed.
It now has to be overseen by the government and interested parties were told to get their final offers in by 9pm on Friday, March 18. Most managed this task but Bayrak did not, despite previously claiming he had a 90% chance of being successful in his venture.
