- Sir Martin Broughton & Group
Former British Airways chairman Martin Broughton is also plotting a move to buy Chelsea. Broughton has previously worked with Liverpool, but like Candy, he too is a boyhood Chelsea fan.
- Saudi Media
The Mohamed Alkhereiji-led Saudi Media consortium is also in the mix. The Chelsea fans would be most pleased to see Alkhereiji at helm given that the net worth of his company is head and shoulders above the other competitors, but owing to the volatile global political climate, it will be interesting to see whether the UK government will allow a Saudi Arabian owner to own the London-based club.
