Rained rejects Saudi madia group's bid over chelsea
unfortunate moments knocked the doors of Saudi Media Group after being informed by US merchant Bank Raine, of their offer being unsuccessful.
This has left many wondering, as Saudi offer was believed by many to be one of the biggest, Raine is looking at alot of essential factors apart from just the value of the bid.
It's coming out clearly that one of the factors thought to have worked against Saudi bid was the potential difficulty in passing the fit and proper persons test - with Saudi's public investment Fund taking a year to secure approval to buy Newcastle United.
CHELSEA need a quick sale to ensure they can continue to operate, something that couldn't be achieved by Saudi Media Group. One of the forefront personnel involved in the Saudi take over bid, AL khudari- also a chelsea fan confirmed this through a tweet :'we did our best. Disappointed, but we'll continue to bleed blue. '
Al Khudari also confirmed that the group is open and wishing to give financial backing to another successful consortium as long as it 'respects the fans and elevates the legacy of the club.
