LaticMark Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Suzanne Geldard, in today's Oldham Times, is reporting that the paper asked the club for an update on AL's plans to sell the club, and a club spokesman said: "All we can comment on the situation is that conversations are continuing with serious bidders."

League one forever Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 3 hours ago, LaticMark said: Suzanne Geldard, in today's Oldham Times, is reporting that the paper asked the club for an update on AL's plans to sell the club, and a club spokesman said: "All we can comment on the situation is that conversations are continuing with serious bidders." That’s interesting- because when AL made the statement that he was willing sell, he said he would talk to any serious bidders- and line above implies people have come forward to buy the club.

Still well above the 7,000 mark. There is no longer any real logic to the western markets i.e. with Brexit, Covid AND a European war, many would have expected it to plummet to around the 5,500 mark. Quoted Russian companies (and those with strong ties) have, of course, suffered disproportionately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FTSE 100 isn't especially relevant for the very wealthy given it is a relatively small part of global market cap. It is an obsolete index which give no great guide to anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let not forget that some of those quoted to be interested in Chelsea probably have a few billion in their bank account without stocks and shares etc and could afford it outright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ultra wealthy don't carry that sort of cash and they certainly don't make purchases in the billions with it. Countries might be a different matter.
