Roman's had enough

New owners can mean they have access to more money. But with a transfer ban and EL footie again it might not be the most lucrative purchase for the New owners.
No way, we want someone buying them at 2.5B on a fat loan, with the club servicing that debt. we want a Hicks and Gillette mark II, ideally.
2.5 Billion.. no way that club are worth that much...

Billion mate. And the fee is stupid because he's owed £1.25 bill by the club. So £1.25b for the club itself and then they other £1.25b for what he's owed
£2.5bn seems reasonable to me, they own prime london real estate. They won the prem 5 times, the most recent only 2 seasons ago. Red Sox despite having smaller turnover than LFC is worth over $3bn.
Ideally, we want Hicks and Gilette back owning Chelsea.

We don't make top 50

Would rather have Roman continue to hire and fire managers, keep a dysfunctional hierarchy, and generally be both difficult and disinterested. Can't run the risk of them finding their FSG.
Those guys must be dead, surely? Hicks deffo has had some spades in the ground by now.
There can't be many people or organisations who've got the two and a half billion needed to buy the thing, the billion they'd need to buy a few players and cashflow everything, on the basis that they may or may not win the odd trophy. It's ten times what the lizards paid for us. Maybe I'm naive but I just don't see it.
On the flip side, that Forbes thing had them worth one and a half billion last year. If they're worth a billion more a year later despite no CL and being shit, maybe some sovereign wealth fund will just see exponential growth as the norm. It has been for the past decade and I always think it's peaked, but it never does.

They've won 5 Prem titles under his tenure, the last one coming in 2017. Only the Glaziers can claim to be more successful.
You know that list is bullshit when you see that the Cleveland Browns are worth more than us.
They are dysfunctional and richer, more attentive ownership would be bad for us.
