Chelsea's new owners could be revealed this week with Roman Abramovich and the Raine Group set to decide a preferred bidder from the three consortiums left standing at the end of a prolonged process, with the winner likely to be either the Todd Boehly/Jonathan Goldstein group or the Josh Harris/David Blitzer combination.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Chelsea fan, George Osborne, was yesterday revealed as an adviser to the Boehly bid and a potential board member if they win. Osborne is a Chelsea fan and a season-ticket holder at Stamford Bridge.
