Chelsea up for sale but there are already at least 10 parties who have reportedly declared an interest in taking over.One such would-be owner is Nick Candy, a British property tycoon who's been a Blues fan all his life.It's understood that Candy is working on a £2.5billion bid for the London club and is in talks with a number of potential investors to form a consortium.The 49-year-old's bid is still short of the £3billion asking price Abramovich has set, but his prior allegiance to Chelsea could end up swaying the Russian, who wants to sell the club to someone he knows will look after it, rather than to the highest bidder."We are looking at what the art of possible is," Candy told The Telegraph on Wednesday, while a spokesperson for the tycoon insisted that delivering Chelsea's new stadium would be one of his top priorities, especially given his background in real estate.Candy, together with his brother Christian, began renovating small London flats in the 1990s before gradually working his way up the property ladder.By the turn of the millennium, he was selling luxury apartments for nine-figure sums and was soon listing the world's most expensive flat - which sold for £140million in 2014.CHELSEA FANS!

Would you prefer it if a fellow Blues supporters, like Candy, bought the club, even if he isn't as wealthy as other prospective buyers?
