They are hoping to have rejections and approvals ready for Monday morning, allowing three or four bids to proceed to the next stage. 雷恩集团目前正在审查文件，期望在周一早上让三到四份报价进到下一阶段。 Then, the remaining bidders will see their plans presented to the Premier League and assessed by the latter's legal team. Chelsea's senior staff are keen to see any bid go through before the next match against Brentford which takes place on April 2 at Stamford Bridge, in order to smooth a transition into the final weeks of the season. 然後这三到四份报价将会被英超的法律团队评估。俱乐部高层希望在三月底前搞定这 次交易。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/HarryYorke1/status/1505247366781321218 上午2:18 · 2022年3月20日 Candy, now part of a takeover bid for Chelsea, was also heard discussing football and the club with Gove during the evening Gove and Candy categorically reject suggestions they were discussing the potential implications of an invasion for the club + Abramovich. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://news.sky.com/story/sacramento-kings-owner-ranadive-backs-broughton -bid-for-chelsea-fc-12571363 Sacramento Kings owner Ranadive backs Broughton bid for Chelsea FC Mark Kleinman - Sunday 20 March 2022 15:52, UK Sky News has learnt that Vivek Ranadive, who made a fortune from the technology industry, has agreed to make a minority investment in the Premier League side if Sir Martin's bid is successful. 如果布劳顿爵士报价成功的话，沙加缅度国王队老板拉纳戴夫同意入队。 The move adds Mr Ranadive's name to that of Josh Harris, another US-based businessman with an interest in elite professional sport, as a co-investor in the consortium led by Sir Martin. 布劳顿队内另一名美国投资人则是费城76人队老板哈里斯。 Bids for the club were tabled to Raine, the adviser to Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, on Friday, and are expected to be whittled down to several leading contenders or even a single preferred bidder in the coming days. 雷恩集团接下来几天会把报价者减少到几个而已，甚至只剩一个。 A number of parties continue to believe there is at least one more heavyweight bidder whose identity has yet to emerge. 有些队一直认为至少还有一个重量级报价者没浮上台面。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1505575663981535236 上午12:03 · 2022年3月21日 Raine have 'expressed optimism' that they can get a deal in place for the takeover of Chelsea by the end of March.

The London-based asset management firm, Centricus, has teamed up with hedge fund manager Jonathan Lourie of Cheyne Capital, and Talis Capital's Bob Finch, formerly majority shareholder of FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, to submit a bid. Lourie, Finch and Centricus' co-founder Nizar Al-Bassam and CEO Garth Ritchie are all long-standing season-ticket holders at Stamford Bridge and made their proposal on Friday to Raine Group 由英国的季票持有者组的团队也出价了，成员有伦敦资产管理公司 Centricus 的联 合创办人 Nizar Al-Bassam 和首席执行长 Garth Ritchie、对冲基金 Cheyne Capital 的经理 Jonathan Lourie 、 Talis Capital 的 Bob Finch (前丹麦北西兰 大股东)。 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1505682351191429125 Garth Ritchie:“They [Raine] are running an incredibly complex process.

The expectations from the fans, the regulators, be it the FA or Premier League or from the Government, wouldn't be to have a sale of this club in next 5 or 10 years.” “So this'd have to be a very, very long-term commitment.

Despite recent reports, are under impression outgoing owner Roman Abranovich will have no say who buys the club. 里基茨没有增加他们的报价，因为他们很有自信。目前看来阿布不会决定谁是赢家。 As I said on Straight Outta Cobham earlier, it's not necessarily biggest bid wins, but the best overall. Impression is one with a sporting background will be favoured. Boehly and Ricketts tick that box & have a bit of an advantage from doing due diligence when interested before. 出价最高者不一定会赢，综合最优者才是。感觉有体育背景的获胜机率较大，波利和 里基茨已赢在起跑点。 https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12572252/ Tuesday 22 March 2022 07:51, UK Candy also revealed on Monday that he has held initial discussions with tech platform PrimaryBid, with a view to potentially considering a community enfranchisement model for Chelsea as he doubles down on his commitment to involve fans in the future of the club. The PrimaryBid platform would enable all stakeholders of Chelsea - including employees and fans - to have access to buy a stake in the club. Candy commented: "This remains a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give football back to the fans and put them at the heart of the operations and strategy of Chelsea Football Club. We are committed to preserving the incredible legacy of the club and to promoting community involvement, and we can provide the financial stability to ensure the future growth of the club on the world stage." https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1506244149812547584 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1506244151536459780 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1506244153147105280 https://twitter.com/JacobsBen/status/1506244154778599426 下午8:19 · 2022年3月22日 Raine Group will announce Chelsea's preferred bidders this week.

Told there were less than 10 'serious' bids. 雷恩集团会在今天到周四中午之间公布，巴克有话语权，名单预计是四个。目前认真 报价不到十个。 The Rickets family/Ken Griffin remain extremely confident. They are best-positioned to secure a quick sale due to their relationship with Raine and previous due diligence on Chelsea. 里基茨+格里芬队非常有自信，因为他们跟雷恩集团关系很好，又对俱乐部尽职调查， 看起来最有可能快速交易。 Saudi Media Group, as reported, made a strong offer. Least likely group to facilitate a fast sale. No intel yet as to whether they've made the shortlist but it's been reiterated (as you'd expect from SMG) that CFC aren't put off by (as I put it) 'the optics' of a KSA sale. 沙乌地媒体集团尽管出价不错，但看起来最不可能快速交易。 I think the key point, though, is Chelsea (not Raine) have effectively chosen the preferred bidders so whoever makes the shortlist can assume the club are entirely comfortable with them. The level of club input at this stage is atypical. But then so is the whole sale process… 俱乐部要的是能完全让他们放心的。 https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/bidders-wait-to-find-out-if-they-have -made-shortlist-in-battle-to-buy-chelsea-p2msvv66n Matt Lawton, Chief Sports Correspondent - March 22 2022, 12.01am GMT Sources close to the Todd Boehly-led consortium — which includes Times columnist Lord Finkelstein — remained confident yesterday that they would make the cut, while Sir Martin Broughton — whose consortium is supported by Lord Coe — told Times Radio that he was a man who could deliver after finding new owners for Liverpool back in 2010. 伯利很有自信能进入最终名单，布劳顿爵士有出售利物浦经验，也很有自信。 Broughton said the preferred bidders would be chosen by Bruce Buck, the Chelsea chairman, and directors Eugene Tenenbaum and Marina Granovskaia. 布劳顿说最终名单将被主席巴克、董事特内鲍姆和格拉诺夫斯卡娅决定。 https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1506284983014633480 下午11:01 · 2022年3月22日 It's not only the journalists who are yet to hear anything on the Chelsea bidders shortlist.

The reason: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky advised President Biden in a recent phone call to wait on sanctioning the oligarch, who might prove important as a go-between with Russia in helping to negotiate peace, according to people with knowledge of the call. 知情人透露，白宫国家安全会议要财政部暂缓制裁阿布的原因：最近泽伦斯基建议拜 登，因为阿布可能会是和平会谈的重要角色。 “For the negotiations, and in the interest of them succeeding, it is not helpful commenting on the process nor on Mr. Abramovich's involvement,” a spokesperson for Mr. Abramovich said in a statement. “As previously stated, based on requests, including from Jewish organizations in Ukraine, he has been doing all he can to support efforts aimed at restoring peace as soon as possible.” 阿布的发言人拒绝透露详情，只说阿布会尽力。 Several U.K. and European officials say they have no knowledge of Mr. Zelensky making a specific plea to their leaders not to levy sanctions on Mr. Abramovich. Several Ukrainian officials and officials from other Western governments are also skeptical about how deeply Mr. Abramovich is involved in the peace talks. 几个英国和欧洲官员说不知道泽伦斯基有对他们的领导人提出这种要求，一些乌克兰 和西方国家官员则怀疑阿布参与和平会谈的程度。 The U.S. decision to delay sanctioning Mr. Abramovich is an unexpected twist in the West's strategy to punish rich oligarchs with Kremlin links in an effort to pressure Mr. Putin. While several high profile Russian businessmen have spoken out against the war, Mr. Abramovich is the only oligarch to publicly say he is trying to push Moscow to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. 阿布没跟其他俄国富人一样被美国制裁让人有点意外，一些高调的俄国商人表达反战 的立场，阿布是唯一一个公开声明希望推动和平的。 Mr. Abramovich feels he can try to use his standing in the Russian business community to try to facilitate talks between the two nations, according to a person close to him. It is unclear whether Mr. Abramovich has succeeded in speaking to Mr. Putin or what he has done to mediate. An official at Ukraine's Embassy in Israel said “we have no information that he is or was involved” in peace talks. 阿布觉得可以发挥自己的影响力让两国坐下来谈，但目前不知道他是否跟普亭谈过， 以色列的乌克兰大使馆官员表示他不知道阿布是否参与和平谈判。 People who have spoken to Mr. Abramovich say he is spending a significant amount of time on the process. His private jets have zigzagged between Russia, Turkey and Israel in recent weeks, according to flight tracking data. He was seen in the capital of Belarus in late February during a round of talks, according to one person familiar with the matter. 知情人透露阿布最近花了很多时间在当和平掮客，根据私人班机飞行资料，阿布最近 几周出没在俄罗斯、土耳其和以色列，二月底还有人看到他在白罗斯首都会谈。 https://news.sky.com/story/chelsea-sale-adviser-seeks-binding-commitments -on-future-club-spending-12573565 Mark Kleinman - Thursday 24 March 2022 05:29, UK Sky News has learnt that Raine Group has sought assurances in the last 24 hours about prospective buyers' funding of the Stamford Bridge beyond the price they are prepared to pay to acquire Chelsea's share capital. 雷恩集团过去一天都在寻求潜在买家对斯坦福桥注资的保证。 "They want guarantees about future capital funding for the club and stadium, and cash on the balance sheet, so that they can be certain they are picking the best future owner of Chelsea," said one insider. 雷恩集团希望新老板未来肯对俱乐部和球场花钱，最好的老板就是有钱有心。 The New York-based merchant bank is also said to be focused on selecting a group of respected international charities that would be the recipients of some of the largest individual donations in their history. 雷恩集团也在选择适合的慈善机构，因为他们将收到历史上数一数二多的个人捐款。 https://twitter.com/Matt_Law_DT/status/1506751114728951811 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1506752030316052493 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1506752289297608706 上午5:53 · 2022年3月24日 Chelsea bidders braced to find out which of them have been shortlisted with Todd Boehly's group expected to be among the finalists. It would still be a surprise if The Ricketts Family bid did not make it past the first phase and onto the shortlist to buy Chelsea but the online NoToRicketts protests have damaged their campaign.

As we stand (could change within seconds/minutes) nobody in the process has received a confirmed shortlist of bids from Raine. And the farce very much lies with Raine, not cfc - let me be clear on that. 谣言满天飞，雷恩集团让今晚变成了一出闹剧，目前没有人知道自己在最终名单上。 And no this does not mean the Saudis are still in - as reported by others, they are out. The point is the FINAL SHORTLIST has not been confirmed to any group yet. Those being told they are out, are out. 不过收到淘汰信的沙乌地媒体集团确实被淘汰了。 https://twitter.com/NickPurewal/status/1506735184263233538 上午4:50 · 2022年3月24日 Muslim community leaders in Chicago have urged ChelseaFC CFC fans not to cancel “decent man” Tom Ricketts, insisting the Chicago Cubs owners are committed to diversity and inclusion 昨天芝加哥的穆斯林领袖请球迷不要拒绝好人汤姆˙里基茨。 (讲干话的是他爸，乔) https://twitter.com/ArashMassoudi/status/1507270297891872768 下午4:16 · 2022年3月25日 Vladimir Putin personally approved Roman Abramovich's role in Russia-Ukraine talks.

Otherwise, I think they've done a really excellent job. 目前四组人马，一组被球迷抵制 (里基茨) ，一组可能通不过英超那关 (布劳顿队伍 里哈里斯有水晶宫股份) ，一组可能通不过UEFA那关 (帕柳卡有亚特兰大股份) ，除 此之外他们表现还不错。 (酸) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10653207/ By Sami Mokbel and Matt Hughes - Updated: 01:27 GMT, 26 March 2022 Sources have indicated that Boehly's offer is just south of ￡2.5bn, while the Broughton and Coe bid is said to be just below that. 伯利和布劳顿爵士的出价都少於25亿英镑。 ... on the final shortlist while there were suggestions of a fifth mystery bidder on Friday night. 有谣传说有神秘第五方。 https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/-b990593.html By James Robson - 下午4:51 · 2022年3月26日 Information about the next stage will come over the weekend, with bidders granted access to the “data room” which will give them an insight into Chelsea's full financial situation, including an up-to-the-minute wage bill. 进入最终名单的买家现在可以查看俱乐部的全部财务资料，包括薪水明细。 Boehly and the Ricketts family have already carried out much of the due diligence required after unsuccessful attempts to buy out Abramovich in the past. 伯利和里基茨之前想收购但没成功时已做过这方面的调查。 Broughton's bid, which includes Seb Coe, is seen as a particularly strong contender – and it was no surprise that it was shortlisted. The former chairman of Liverpool and British Airways has experience running a Premier League football club and is credited with guiding the Merseysiders through the much-maligned era of George Gillet and Tom Hicks before the takeover of Fenway Sports Group. 布劳顿爵士这队被视为特别强力的竞争者，因为他之前经手过利物浦的交易案。 Lord Coe is the man who delivered the 2012 Olympic Games for London and both are life-long Chelsea fans. One doubt has been the identity of their backers, widely believed to be Josh Harris and David Blitzer, who are shareholders in Crystal Palace. But sources close to the bid insist Broughton consortium is made up of global backers. Raine have clearly been sufficiently convinced to advancethe bid. 科伊勋爵则有2012伦敦奥运的经验，他们两个都是死忠却尔西球迷。而隐忧是他们背 後的资金，哈里斯和布利泽都有水晶宫的股份，但消息源说布劳顿爵士这队是由全球 资金组成的，雷恩集团显然被说服了。 Property tycoon Nick Candy has not been shortlisted, but spent Friday discussing the possibility of joining another bid. A spokesperson said: “We continue to evaluate and participate in meaningful conversations with the bidding process. Nick has always made it clear that the fans and safeguarding the future of the club are his only interests in this process.” 糖果哥虽然被淘汰了但不排除加入别队，他唯一关心的是球迷和俱乐部未来的安全。 https://news.sky.com/story/bidders-told-to-commit-1bn-to-future-of-chelsea -as-four-way-shootout-looms-12575355 Mark Kleinman - Saturday 26 March 2022 13:26, UK Sky News can exclusively reveal that the quartet of bidders which were this week approved by bankers to proceed to formal offers will have to give contractual guarantees that at least ￡1bn of additional funding will be available for the Blues' Stamford Bridge stadium, playing squad and other areas of development. 四组买家被要求将来至少要投入10亿镑，用在改建球场、增强阵容和其它发展。 All four of the remaining bidders have significant experience in sports stadium infrastructure. Between them, the final bidders either control or own stakes in US teams including the Boston Celtics, the Chicago Cubs, the LA Dodgers, the Philadelphia 76ers and the Sacramento Kings. 这四组人马都有体育球场基础设施的经验，也都是美国职业球队的股东 (波士顿塞尔 提克、芝加哥小熊、洛杉矶道奇、费城76人和沙加缅度国王)。 Sources said that Raine would assess the four bids against a set of criteria including the level of equity and debt funding; price; future investment commitments; speed and certainty of execution; and the claims each party has to being an appropriate steward of a prestigious sporting brand. 雷恩集团会用以下标准审核这四组：股东权益和债权等级、价格、未来投资保证、执 行速度和确实度、管理顶级运动品牌的适合度。 Among the bidders who were eliminated from the process this week were offers fronted by the London-based property developer and lifelong Chelsea fan Nick Candy; the former US ambassador to the UK, Woody Johnson; Centricus, an asset manager; and Saudi Media Group, whose bid is said to have been largely debt-financed. 本周被淘汰的有伦敦地产开发商兼死忠球迷坎迪、前美国驻英国大使强森、资产管理 兼季票持有人团队 Centricus 以及沙乌地媒体集团，後者据说大部分是债权融资。 City sources said that Liberty Media Acquisition Corp (LMAC), a New York-listed special purpose acquisition company - or SPAC - was among the parties which was eliminated from the auction, largely because of the complexity of finalising a deal on a timetable which was truncated by Mr Abramovich's sanctioning. 马龙的特殊目的收购公司LMAC也有出价，不过因为时间的关系被淘汰了。 Raine is expected to set a deadline for a second round of bids by mid-April, after which it anticipates signing a formal deal and approaching the government for a special licence to approve the transaction by the end of next month. 雷恩集团对下一阶段的时间点大概会设在四月中，然後四月底政府发出特别执照完成 交易。 Bidders and bankers also dismissed suggestions that some parties were frustrated by the pace of the transaction's progress. By the standards of conventional takeover processes, the Chelsea auction has moved at breakneck speed, with executives at other major investment banks suggesting that such a complex sale would typically have taken at least six months. 本周据传某些买家对审核速度过慢感到不满，这点被否认了，考量到这种等级的交易 通常都至少需要六个月，目前的速度根本是飞快。 When contacted, Raine dismissed a report in The Daily Telegraph suggesting it was in line to be paid a fee worth 1.5pc of the transaction value, which would have been equivalent to ￡45m if Chelsea is sold for ￡3bn. 之前电讯报说雷恩集团会抽1.5% (30亿抽4500万) 也被雷恩集团否认了。 (其实马特 劳是说20亿抽3000万) https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1507747188742438920 https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1507747190172786697 下午11:51 · 2022年3月26日 Raine Group spokesperson: "Our commission is tied to both proceeds and the capital contributed to build and run the club for its future success. The process is moving along as we anticipated and will accelerate from here, with robust bidding as we seek an optimal outcome for the club and the fans." [via @TeleFootball] https://twitter.com/AbsoluteChelsea/status/1507771793293119495 上午1:29 · 2022年3月27日 Chelsea and Raine will examine the relationship between fans and the Ricketts family in greater detail during the final stage of the sale process.
