Two of the parties bidding to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich are reportedly eager to replicate the approach Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have employed at Liverpool.
Abramovich is in the process of selling the club and a number of bids have been shortlisted, with a new deadline for improved offers set for April 11. Two offers from the United States are among those to clear the first phase, including the Todd Boehly-led consortium and the Ricketts family bid.
The latter of the two offers has caused plenty of controversy, with previous comments from members of the family resurfacing. It has led to Chelsea fans tweeting #NoToRicketts in their thousands in a bid to warn Abramovich away from selling the club to the group.

However, they remain in the running for now. Once the final offers are collected, the preferred bidder will be referred to the government for approval before a sale is completed. Chelsea currently remain under restrictions as a result of Abramovich having his UK assets frozen.
In a report from The Athletic on Monday, further details have emerged of how prospective owners could be expected to run the Blues should they be successful. Both Boehly's consortium and the Ricketts family offer are named as being eager to recreate the model put in place by FSG at Anfield.
Liverpool have enjoyed longevity and success under their stewardship, winning the Champions League, a Carabao Cup and the club's first Premier League title. The two stateside bidders for Chelsea agree with their rival's principles of growing sustainably and using data to take gain an edge on their rivals.
