Chelsea's three-month saga surrounding the future of the football club and who would be the next owner of the two-time Champions of Europe came closer to an end on Monday after the UK government approved the sale to Todd Boehly and his consortium.
Hours, days and months of uncertainty, twists and turns will finally come to head when the Blues officially confirm the businessman as the next owner to oversee a new era. The Premier League campaign fizzled out with a whimper as domestic performances were uninspiring, whilst a second penalty shootout defeat to Liverpool in the FA Cup after losing the same way to the same opponents in the Carabao Cup, summed up Chelsea's fortunes - or lack of - in the opening five months of the calendar year.
"It's been difficult at times to get exactly what is going on because there are very different groups involved. The government were briefing then you're going to different parties involved in the takeover process and either confirm that or get the true story on that, so it's not been easy at all," Chelsea correspondent Adam Newson revealed.
