UK's richest man Ratcliffe tables Chelsea bid
Jim Ratcliffe has tabled a last-minute bid to buy Chelsea, a spokesperson for the Ineos chief has confirmed. Ratcliffe is understood to have held talks with Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck on Thursday and submitted a major offer for the Stamford Bridge club on Friday. The 69-year-old explored in detail a possible bid for the Blues back in 2019, only to buy French club Nice instead.
