Well, here's the news from today's Chelsea acquisition.
Recently, Sky Sports reported that Chelsea's final bidding list has been reduced to four people, and these four consortiums are NBA Celtics owner Stephen Palyuca, Joshua Harris/David Blitzer (76ers & NHL New Jersey Devils owner), Todd Burley (Lakers & MLB Los Angeles Dodgers minority shareholders) and the Ricketts family (MLB Chicago Cubs owners). They will get all the financial data of Chelsea, including the length of the player's contract, the team's operating income, etc., and they will see the senior management of the team.
Of course, it's hard to say who of these four teams will eventually buy Chelsea. However, it is said that who to sell the team to, chelsea executives can decide. And in the process, the team's owner Abu gave a request. Recently, the authoritative media TA reported that Abu put the buyer's renovation plan of Stamford Bridge Stadium in the conditions for acquiring Chelsea, Abu hopes to take this as the last gift to Chelsea fans, and the current renovation plan of Stamford Bridge Stadium has been approved, Abu was going to invest about 1 billion yuan to renovate the stadium, but because of sanctions, it was finally suspended.
Currently, Stamford Bridge can only accommodate 42,000 fans, and Abu wants to transform the stadium into a new, modern stadium with a capacity of 62,500 people. Moreover, Abu's new design originated from the "Westminster Abbey", and he wanted to build Stamford Bridge Stadium into a "football sanctuary". It should be said that chelsea's new stadium plan has not only been approved by ZF, but Abu has convinced the surrounding residents that the new owner can only invest in the transformation. I wonder which owner would be willing to renovate a new stadium?
Finally, there is a merit satire of the news. Sky Sports reported that Burnley was interested in waiving the former Chelsea player Moses, who currently plays for Sparta Moscow, but was stopped by the Premier League. Previously, FIFA said that players in the Russian Premier League can unilaterally terminate their contracts with teams, while other teams can waive these players, but the Premier League believes this is unsportsmanlike. Sportsmanship is in mind at this time, so why didn't they think of this when they sanctioned Abu and Chelsea?
Well, there's so much news from Abu and Chelsea today, see you tomorrow!
