Uncertainty currently rules at Chelsea. And it will do for some time. Even the sale of the club by Roman Abramovich will not lead to any guarantees. Questions will need to be answered by the new owners. Actions will need to be taken to back-up statements made in the bidding process. Only time will reveal all.
The hope among supporters is that on the football side of things, there is little change. Thomas Tuchel must remain in charge and be given the support he requires to ensure Chelsea remain a Premier League and European heavyweight. Competing for the Champions League must not become a thing of the past for the Blues.
To that end, the summer transfer window remains an important one for the Blues. Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the series of events that led to Abramovich deciding to sell – and being sanctioned by both the UK government and EU – big-money additions were mooted and high-profile departures speculated upon.
