Raine should disqualify The Ricketts, Woody Johnson, and Vivek Ranadive.

Ricketts family is highly scrutinized by the Cubs fans for being cheap as hell. If they are the head honchos here we’d probably become Spuds or Arse. Very limited spending.

Looks like the Ricketts-Griffin bid is expected to to meet the 3bn asking price.

Whoever it ends up being, the first order of business needs to be ensuring Tuchel is happy and making him feel like the ambition to compete at the very top remains. He should be offered a fresh contract to stave off any sharks that may be circling and give him his top targets this summer.

I hope Rudiger's and Christensen's agents are whispering in their ear to hold off on signing with anyone else until the new owners come and see what they offer.

Making sure Tuchel is settled and getting Rudiger resigned are the two most important things, over any new signings this summer.

If whomever the new owner is can sort those two things as soon as they're in place, I'll be happy to give them time and patience to see what their plans are for the club.

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

1. Tuchel

2. Rudiger

3. Christensen

4. Stadium plans and continuing academy investment.

We have one sports related, Alexander Spanos with 2.4 billion, owner of San Diego Chargers.

 Alex Spanos died in 2018 (his son Dean is now the owner), and that team left San Diego and moved back to Los Angeles after the 2016 season

they share that 5 billion usd new stadium with the LA Rams, who just won the Super Bowl

pretty same colours (shades are different) too, LOLOL

the 2 teams actually have the 2 best looking unis in the NFL IMHO

Yes, but he already made his mind up by refusing to sign an extension.

Because his agent got in his ear. It's never to late to offer what he wants. 

Far as I'm concerned, there is no CB out there bar Marquinhos who I would trust to come and slot right in. If Christensen or Rudiger, or both leave next summer we are going to be weaker.

Not according to Matt Law. In the London is Blue podcast back in September, he stated Christensen was ready to sign until his agent intervened.

Did you forget Christensen recently hired a new agent?
