Technical director Petr Cech even admitted he “didn’t have the answers” about whether the side would be able to pay staff.The club are operating but only under a special licence from the government that makes them functional as a sports team rather than as an enterprise.What do you think the future holds for Chelsea? Let us know in the comments section.The club’s oligarch owner is looking to sell the club amid the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

Thomas Tuchel could leave the club. The UK Government this week froze the assets of Blues owner Roman Abramovich due to his association to Russian president Vladimir Putin, who launched an invasion of Ukraine two weeks ago.

Chelsea could still be sold should Roman Abramovich hand control of the process to UK Government officials - and there is still interest in the west London outfit.Abramovich was one of seven Russian oligarchs to have their assets frozen by the government on Thursday (March 10) morning, which means that his plans to sell the club are currently blocked.However, the sale could still go ahead during this period should he stand to make no financial gain from the deal - having previously promised to donate the net profits.The Russian would have to apply for a special licence to sell the club now, declaring that he will not benefit from the sale.It has now been reported that there is still plenty of interest in taking control of the club despite the current uncertainty at Stamford Bridge.The Telegraph report that prospective buyers have not been put off by the latest update, meaning a deal worth in the region of £2billion could go ahead.Their report adds that 'special dispensation' will be given if the sale of Chelsea is seen in the best interests of the football club.Will Thomas Tuchel be Chelsea manager next season?

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!
