Many close to the process, believe that ￡2.5bn is the minimum the
Stamford Bridge club could go for with preferred bidders being encouraged
to raise their offers.

許多知情人都覺得這次交易不會低於25億英鎊，四組人馬被鼓勵提高價格。

Chelsea: Stamford Bridge renovation central to takeover race as bidders
given new deadline for final offers

By James Robson - 29 Mar 2022


Stamford Bridge is set to be key in the race to buy Chelsea, with bidders
now fine-tuning their moves for the European champions.

對斯坦福橋的計劃將是四組人馬競購的關鍵。


Plans for the stadium and a guarantee of ￡1billion worth of investment
in the club are being demanded by US merchant bank Raine Group, who have
drawn up a shortlist of four contenders.

雷恩集團要求買家要有球場計劃並保證對俱樂部投入10億英鎊。


Sir Martin Broughton, the Ricketts family, Todd Boehly and Stephen
Pagliuca have all been given a deadline of April 11 to come up with their
final offer to buy out Roman Abramovich.

四組人馬在4月11日前要交出最後的報價。


And it is understood their vision for the Bridge, which is long overdue a
rebuild, is seen as a potentially decisive factor in the selection
process.

對斯坦福橋的展望將是潛在的決定性因素。


That would hand an advantage to the Ricketts family, who made renovation
of the stadium a central point of their original proposal.

里基茨家族將會佔據優勢，球場改建是他們原始提案的核心。


They have the huge financial might of US hedge fund manager Ken Griffin,
who is worth around ￡20bn, behind their bid. And they also have the
proven track record of having renovated the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field
stadium.

球場改建他們可說是有錢又有經驗。


The plans of Broughton, Boehly or Pagliuca regarding the Bridge are not
yet clear, but the new deadline gives them the opportunity to formulate
their visions for the ground.

其他三組的球場改建計劃仍不明朗。
