Chelsea: Runners and riders to take over at Chelsea and replace Roman Abramovich

Chelsea supporters are waiting with bated breath as they prepare to enter a new era along with their club. Four shortlisted bidders remain in the £3billion race to replace Roman Abramovich, with the deadline for final offers now up.

That means that there are just days remaining before the future owners at Stamford Bridge are put forward to the Government and the Premier League. From there, the most expensive sale of a sports team in history will be hurried through.

There are understood to be no issues from Downing Street, who would be willing to hand over the reins to any of the parties tussling for control at Stamford Bridge.
