Swiss Tycoon Mulls Chance To Buy Chelsea From Roman Abramovich
Hansjorg Wyss, one of Switzerland's richest men, said Wednesday he had been offered the chance to buy Chelsea, with the English Premier League side's Russian owner Roman Abramovich under growing scrutiny. Wyss, 86 and founder of the medical device manufacturing firm Synthes, told the Swiss newspaper Blick that he had been sounded out on Tuesday, alongside three other people. Abramovich revealed Saturday that he plans to place his ownership of the European champions into the "stewardship and care" of the Chelsea Foundation's trustees.
