That was first thing this morning when the sanctions were announced. 

Have the players really voiced their concerns amid dressing room 'chaos' within about 15 minutes?!

Depends. Reports they were informed on the coach to Norwich.

I think the bits which have been drip-fed since would suggest things aren't quite as grim as that because a sale is still going to be possible. It just needs sorting asap for the sake of everyone associated with the club.

Can imagine there is panic. Especially now that shirt sponsor backed out

Such drama....at the end of the day everything will go back to normal and we gonna have a owner more terrific than  Abrahimovich....

English media watch out...

It's between the Wyss & Boehly Consortium and what ever Nick Candy forms with the other American investors. 

Time is of the essence here and I think the former will be our new owners.

Can Roman launch any legal action against the UK government to put the sanctions on hold while he works through a sale?

Woody Johnson would be an absolute nightmare. Come on, Boehly, PLEASE!

[MoroccanBlue 5,216]

American billionaire Todd Boehly, together with Hansjorg Wyss and another businessman, have made an official bid for Chelsea between £2billion and £2.5bn, which remains on the table and is being treated as a serious, realistic proposal.

The other two parties who are being treated as the most serious bidders are the Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs baseball team, and the owner of the New York Jets, Woody Johnson.

Duno who Woody Johnson is but his name alone sounds awful....not sure about either but guess where before they had time to be fussy now they really don't.

Or didn't have that many to chose from to start with

Hope it's Boehly or some unknown rich guy others don't inspire any hope.

It'll be the Wyss and Boehly consortium I reckon They've established themselves as serious buyers from the get go, so a relationship has already been built with their intentions known. They have everything in place already for the bid and eventual club tender. 

Just hope it gets done ASAP.

United fans, Liverpool fans, and Arse fans constantly complain about their American owners. But Woody Johnson would be even worse. At least those owners have shown that they can build successful clubs, though perhaps not exactly in the way or as quickly as their supporters want.

Johnson is the owner of one of the worst run, most incompetent franchises in all of American sports.

The sponsor three has also backed away from us and will be removed of shirts and stadium advertising

United and Arsenal fans blame the recruitment more than anything. Arsenal have spent 200 million last season and United continue to be the most expensive squad in the league. 

Only Liverpool have the right to complain about ownership spending, but even then, Liverpool players have insane wage/bonus incentives in their contracts so who knows how much they are paying them.

Our best attacking move was Hutchinson's throw ins - God bless his soul.
