Live bar May 7 , Today, Chelsea officially announced that a consortium led by Todd Burleigh has reached an agreement with the club to complete the acquisition of Chelsea. Chelsea's official announcement at 1:37 a.m. local time in the UK has confused many Blues fans.
Fan 1: Club announces (crying) at 1:37am
FAN 2: Why did you announce this at 1:37 a.m., it reminds me of the official announcement of The Transfer of Drickwater.
FAN 3: So why did the Chelsea acquisition go to the official announcement at 2am London time?
In addition, some Chelsea fans said: The club's official announcement at 1:30 a.m. on Saturday is a bit strange. （Chelsea announcing the sale of the club at 1:30am on a Saturday sure is a thing）
There are also fans who combine the identity of the new owner, American, and say: Ok, I guess, this will happen to the club under the hands of the American owner. （Well guess that's what we get under American ownership）
In addition to the confusion about the timing of the official announcement, many Blues fans expressed their reluctance and gratitude to Abu, believing that the team's past achievements were inseparable from Abu's support.
In the official announcement, Chelsea confirmed that the £2.5 billion of the Burleigh consortium's acquisition of Chelsea shares would be donated entirely to charity and £1.75 billion would be invested in the club's subsequent development. At present, premier league officials are reviewing the plans of burley-led consortium to buy Chelsea, and all parties are confident that the British government will issue a sale license.
