Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss is driven to buy Premier League side Chelsea by his lack of respect for Vladimir Putin-linked Russian owner Roman Abramovich - despite not having a footballing background.
Wyss and LA Dodgers owner Todd Boehly are preparing to table a bid after forming a consortium aiming to buy the club, but the group are not willing to meet Abramovich's £3billion asking price.
Reports for his native country Switzerland are suggesting that Wyss's interest in the Blues has come as a surprise, with no real interest in football, but instead driven by being able to oust Abramovich from Stamford Bridge.
