Chelsea's cashflow fears have eased after the government amended the terms of the club's special licence so the Roman Abramovich-owned parent company Fordstam can transfer £30million to cover operating costs.
Last night the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sports (DCMS) released a statement saying that rules around ticket sales would be relaxed, allowing away fans to attend Stamford Bridge and for Chelsea supporters to attend away games, but omitted another change within the licence that specifies Fordstam can "pay the club up to £30,000,000 in respect of cashflow or liquidity issues."
That will ease concerns within the club as they await an update from the Raine Group around the selling process. Several prospective buyers were expecting to hear an update from the New York-based bank on Monday but as of Wednesday night were still in the dark. An update could arrive today.
