NICK CANDY is exploring the possibility of forming a SUPER consortium in order to buy his boyhood club Chelsea.
The European champions were put up for sale just before Russian owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government.

Boehly is also interested in buying Chelsea

Wyss is believed to be worth just over £4bn
The club are currently unable to sell home or away match tickets
Abramovich had his assets frozen, which has heavily affected Chelsea.
The Blues are unable to sell home or away match tickets, as well as club merchandise.
Players cannot be bought, sold or have their contract renewed – running the risk of losing three star centre-backs.
Billionaires have been circling but according to Sky Sports, Chelsea fan Candy is looking into the possibility of forming a SUPER consortium to buy the club.

Candy could join forces with fellow interested parties Todd Boehly, Jonathan Goldstein and Hansjorg Wyss – with a combined net worth of more than £9.3BILLION.
Former Liverpool and British Airways chairman Sir Martin Broughton, who’s also a Chelsea fan, has also been spoken to.
The businessman has promised Chelsea fans a seat on its board if he is successful in his attempts to buy the west London side.
Speaking before Sunday’s 1-0 win over newly mega-rich Newcastle, Candy said: “I’ve supported Chelsea since I was the age of four.

“My dad was asked to play for Chelsea. I love Chelsea.
“I don’t mind where it ends up, even if it’s not with me, as long as it’s in safe hands.
“One hundred per cent [the fans need to be included in ownership] and they should be involved. Both on the board and economically.”
Ghanaian gold mine owner Bernard Antwi Boasiako also remains interested in buying the Blues.
Boasiako’s wealth is unknown but figures in his homeland suggest it could be up to £76million – and isn’t deterred by Abramovich’s £3bn price tag.
He would like to bring in the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Vinicius Jr and SELL Romelu Lukaku.
A spokesman for Boasiako told Sportsmail: “Bernard Antwi Boasiako is exploring a potential offer for Chelsea. Discussions with various parties involved in the sale have taken place.
“Chelsea has a lasting legacy in Africa, players like Didier Drogba and Michael Essien are legends of the club; the opportunity to enhance the club’s reputation in Africa is a very tempting prospect.
“Restoring stability and ensuring there are no job losses are among the priorities.”
