NICK CANDY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES CHELSEA BID

Nick has improved his British-led bid to buy Chelsea Football Club following the addition of another large international backer to his Blue Football Consortium.

Candy submitted a bid of over £2billion to The Raine Group last Friday but is now known to have increased this significantly after another large Korean financial institution joined his group over the weekend.

Proof of the additional funds has been sent to The Raine Group and is a huge boost to Candy’s bid, which is highly tipped to be one of the few preferred bids to make the shortlist.

The Raine Group is now meeting to draw up a shortlist of the preferred bidders for Chelsea with a decision on the shortlist expected soon.
