Lord Sebastian Coe is reportedly ready to team up with Sir Martin Broughton in staking a claim at Chelsea following Roman Abramovich’s sanction.
“I am certain that Sir Martin is the right man to lead Chelsea Football Club into its next chapter. He has an exceptional track record in British business, as well as unrivalled experience in shepherding Liverpool out of a very difficult situation,” Coe told the PA news agency.
“He has the vision, acumen and financial backing to ensure our club’s future success, keeping Chelsea Football Club at the top of European football and challenging for trophies. But most importantly, like me, he is a lifelong Chelsea supporter and Shed End season-ticket holder. I know that this bid is for millions of Chelsea fans around the world. We love our club and will always put the fans first,” he added.
