Raine sources denying there is an extra 'stage' to the Chelsea sale. They
did consider ruling out one of the three bids when final offers first came
in but decided against it. The plan remains to pick a preferred bidder
from three rather than rule out a group first.
Sources close to Steve Pagliuca say he's baffled at suggestions his bid
will be rejected first. But his group have had to provide more detail on
the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge than any other group.
What makes the Boehly bid strong is Jonathan Goldstein (and other
development-specific consultants) have provided a clear roadmap and cost.
Broughton bid believe they have offered the most sustainable plan but it's
still not as specific (yet) as Boehly's pitch.
Raine deny any significant delays and still expect to name a preferred
bidder by the end of the month.
Meanwhile, DCMS again deny Rishi Sunak or any gov. member will pick or
influence the preferred bidder. As expected, they reiterate their role is
to license the sale. They are expected to agree a deal with Abramovich to
turn the 1.5bn debt he's prepared to write off into equity.

Chelsea FC bidders handed demand to guarantee ownership until 2032
Mark Kleinman - Monday 25 April 2022 11:41, UK
Sky News has learnt that Raine Group, the merchant bank handling the
auction, has asked the three shortlisted bidders in the last few days to
provide commitments that they will retain control of the Blues until at
least 2032.
A source at one of the bidding groups said they had been told that the
10-year ownership demand would apply only to the controlling parties in
each consortium, with the new owners also able to raise money by issuing
additional shares to provide new funding for the club. The ownership
guarantee would be incorporated in the sale contract, making it legally
enforceable, they added.
All three bidders are understood to have indicated that they would pay
well over ￡2bn to buy the club, with a minimum further investment of
￡1bn committed to its stadium, academy and women's team.
