The toons have been for sale for a year but they haven't found a buyer yet. Loss making organisations are not bought they are taken over.
what do u think a bum from the street is going to buy chelsea obviously a rich guy is going to buy them and if he douse mony will be sent
This is BS because he has his new yacht, Eclipse, well under construction and it will be the largest privatly owned yacht onced launched at 170m (525ft)valued at 300m. Doesnt sound like he has too many money troubles.
