The same club that were utter wank for a whole season and yet managed to win the champions League in the favourites own backyard whilst preventing their rivals playing Champions League football...Hold on, you mean Chelsea will actually be alright and continue being successful?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
So a deadline was set for bids to be submitted. But we don't like those bids so we'll wait till our chum has their finances sorted. No change there then.FFS. £4 billion bid. Chums with the government too isn't he. Wonder if they persuaded him to bid?

I don't understand~ there was a deadline~ it passed
All the media happy about a new bidder after said deadline passed
This stinks of dodgy dealings
Corruption of the highest order
The bastards will land on their feet
So what was the point of a deadline?You can’t stop someone bidding for them. It’s whether they will be taken into consideration or not. I still think this has a while to play out despite todays announcements.

Not getting at you 77
Think of it like a deadline for an essay or any kind of application. In theory you can still submit the paper after the deadline but there’s no guarantee anyone will look at it. I suspect that the media courting is a means of trying to ensure the bid isn’t ignored.So what was the point of a deadline?

I would not bet against it mate it's Chelsea and there will an expectation/culture of winning if not Newcastle replace them in a year or two.Decent outcome for us. No American gets involved in sports to lose money.

Does PE not always demand a return? Football club seems like a risky investment.These are the main backers. Private equity.
