Raine sources denying there is an extra 'stage' to the Chelsea sale. They
did consider ruling out one of the three bids when final offers first came
in but decided against it. The plan remains to pick a preferred bidder
from three rather than rule out a group first.
Sources close to Steve Pagliuca say he's baffled at suggestions his bid
will be rejected first. But his group have had to provide more detail on
the redevelopment of Stamford Bridge than any other group.
What makes the Boehly bid strong is Jonathan Goldstein (and other
development-specific consultants) have provided a clear roadmap and cost.
Broughton bid believe they have offered the most sustainable plan but it's
still not as specific (yet) as Boehly's pitch.
Raine deny any significant delays and still expect to name a preferred
bidder by the end of the month.
Meanwhile, DCMS again deny Rishi Sunak or any gov. member will pick or
influence the preferred bidder. As expected, they reiterate their role is
to license the sale. They are expected to agree a deal with Abramovich to
turn the 1.5bn debt he's prepared to write off into equity.
