Thomas Tuchel doesn’t want to meet potential Chelsea owners
Thomas Tuchel is eager to ignore the ongoing situation as four potential new owners try to take over West Londoners.
What did Thomas Tuchel say?
The Chelsea manager is hopeful he can be left out of any talks with potential new owners to focus on the Blues’ run-in at the end of the season. There is an April 11 deadline for four billionaire-led bids to make a final offer to buy Chelsea with the winning owner to be decided shortly after. In preparation for a future takeover, various parties have access to the Blues’ accounts and are able to talk to senior staff, with the Chelsea coach rumored to be talking about who they can talk to.
Thomas Tuchel, answering a question from journalists, said that it is better not to participate, because he thinks what makes Chelsea strong is that everyone knows his role, and everyone knows that his role is to play to the limit and push himself to the limit. According to Tuchel it is also to understand where your limits are and where your responsibilities lie. Thomas doesn’t think this will suit him or help any ongoing sales process. That’s why Thomas thinks it doesn’t help.
Tuchel talks about Ricketts proposal
The Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are one of four options to take the club away from sanctioned owner Abramovich. However, they have proven unpopular with Chelsea supporters due to their recent track record of leading cubes and conflicting views within their family. This despite meeting with the Blue Supporters Trust (CST) and the club’s first black player, Paul Canoville. Speaking of the disputed possible owner, Thomas didn’t feel empowered to speak out. Thomas Tuchel added that he could not change anything. According to Thomas, some things in life cannot be changed, so you need to let it go and do what you can influence, and this is what they are doing at the moment.
