‘I don’t think we should end up like Man Utd’ – Nick Candy wants to retain Chelsea transfer model – and keep spending

NICK CANDY has pledged to keep spending if he wins the race to buy Chelsea.

The London property developer made his Blue Football Consortium’s £2bn-plus offer for Roman Abramovich’s club before Friday night's 9pm deadline.

Candy promised his “global consortium”, backed by cash from the USA, Europe and South Korean, was serious about delivering a “new model” of ownership.

He also vowed to put his fellow Blues fans “heart and centre” of the club, with a role in the board and decision-making process.

But for doubtful supporters questioning whether Candy would be willing to replicate the Abramovich approach which has brought 19 major trophies – plus two Community Shields – in 19 years, he told SunSport: “On the pitch and in the transfer market, it’s simple  – follow the model. 

“It's not failed us and it's done really well.

“The last 20 years have been brilliant on the pitch. We’ve played glorious football, won everything, and Roman has done an incredible job with his team. 

“If I got hold of the club I wouldn't change Bruce Buck and Marina Granovskaia.

“And if they want to stay I would love them to stay. Why change something that is brilliant?

“But I don't think we should end up like Manchester United where we have one rich family that owns Chelsea and there should be a new benchmark of owning football clubs.
