Bidders were also told in the communication from Raine on Friday that the "successful closing of the sale of Chelsea FC will require a special licence to be approved by UKGI, approving both the source and use of funds".

"Mr Candy cares hugely about the future of the club and believes that the fans and the community are central to its continued success. A spokesperson for Mr Candy told Sky News on Sunday: "We welcome the news that the sale of the club will be conducted quickly.

Chelsea takeover bid: Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta latest ... (Sky News)

Chelsea's Premier League rivals quizzed Bruce Buck, the club's chairman, about the impending sale of the Champions League-holders on a specially convened ...

The many remaining questions about the sale of Chelsea now concern the price that a buyer will have to pay and the destination of the proceeds, with the government adamant that Mr Abramovich will not see any financial return after owning the club for nearly 20 years. A rapid sale is seen as essential if Chelsea is to remain solvent and therefore retain the nucleus of a playing squad which has become established as one of Europe's most successful under Mr Abramovich's ownership. The field of prospective bidders for Chelsea has continued to grow even since the government announced that Mr Abramovich was being sanctioned, cutting off the club's principal source of financing for the last two decades. The cluster of American sports billionaires circling Chelsea underlines the extent to which the English Premier League has become a magnet for financiers from across the Atlantic during the last 20 years. Mr Fertitta would in many respects be a logical bidder for Chelsea given his ownership of the Houston Rockets NBA side and his extensive interests in the hospitality and entertainment sectors. The owner of the Houston Rockets basketball team has joined the ranks of American sports billionaires exploring a takeover bid for Chelsea Football Club ahead of a deadline for offers.

Three lessons learnt in Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle: Calm and cool (The Pride of London)

Chelsea defeated Newcastle, 1-0, at Stamford Bridge on Sunday thanks to Kai Havertz's winner. Here are three lessons we learnt in the match.

However, the boys in blue played the game to their best of the abilities and came out with a deserved victory. In the end, Chelsea dealt with all of Newcastle’s pressure tactics expertly and even controlled most aspects of the game. It could have been comfortable to pass for passing sake, but the Blues only had one objective: get the ball into the other half of the pitch quickly. However, he chose the most difficult of actions: control the ball with delicacy and immediately finish with a pinpoint accurate touch. When Jorginho sent the ball into the box, Havertz made the run in behind the defense, and he had a couple of options to finish the chance. The Blues were focused, despite everything going on around the club lately, and delivered something positive for the fans in attendance at Stamford Bridge.

Jamie Carragher hit back at Chelsea fans on Monday Night Football; follow Chelseas Champions League last-16 second leg at Lille on Wednesday via a dedicated ...

"The Premier League only reacted after the government had sanctioned Chelsea and removed Roman Abramovich as a director. I can't see how a £3 billion sale can go through in the next 15, 16 days, which is apparently the amount of time Chelsea have. That's the way it may be for Chelsea and you have to accept that. "I agree with what Jamie said, there's no way Chelsea can go bust," he said. "The first thing they did was go to Manchester United and take Peter Kenyon as their CEO. 'We'll go to Liverpool and take the best midfielder in Europe and destabilise that club for two summers' - they didn't get him. No, we want him as Chelsea manager.
