Gary Neville has told Chelsea's prospective new owners that they need to 'stabilise' the club in the near future if the Blues are to be successful in 2022/23 after a sale.

As we approach the April 18 deadline for new bids and proposals to be submitted, each of the four consortiums are now doing all they can to make the best pitch to senior officials at the club and fans alike. Todd Boehly attended the first leg of the Real Madrid Champions League quarter-final defeat last week whilst Stephen Pagliuca was present at the Southampton thrashing at the weekend as his big automatically grew stronger earlier on Monday with the news that he was to seek further backing in his bid from NBA chairman Larry Tanenbaum and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin.

For the Ricketts, alongside major backers, Ken Grifin and Dan Gilbert have been in the English capital in the last week or so to try and hold talks with the supporters' group and in particular, Paul Canoville, to calm down the social media storm that has followed their campaign from the start regarding controversial discriminatory comments against minority groups.
