Chelsea directors Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia will reportedly have a role in selecting the preferred bidders that the Raine Group will shortlist in the Blues' takeover race.
With bids for the Roman Abramovich ran club now in and being dealt with by the Raine Group, all the players like the supporters are anxiously and eagerly anticipating the final decision which could still be someway off yet. The likes of Todd Boehly's consortium, the Ricketts Family's collaboration with Ken Griffin, and Nick Candy are the so called front runners in the race but don't rule out the likes of the Saudi Media Group yet amongst a few others who could make the 3-4 consortia shortlist which could be released anytime soon.
Whilst the Raine Group prepare for the next stage of the whole takeover process, manager Thomas Tuchel and co will be relieved to be on a much needed international break following a tough run of fixtures - something they have answered in emphatic style with six wins on the bounce. On the contrary, Granovskaia and Buck will be having a productive international break if recent reports are to believed amid both futures being up in the air depending on who does eventually complete the takeover of the club.
