INEOS can confirm that we have made a bid for the acquisition of Chelsea FC.   We do not know at this stage whether we will be successful  but we would like to reassure everyone involved with OGC Nice that this in no way diminishes our commitment to Le Gym.   I live close by and I remain totally immersed and committed to the success of the club and I am delighted that, under Christophe’s leadership, we have made the Cup Final.    I will be there and I want us to lift that trophy.
We brought Christophe to OGC Nice to win and that has not changed.  I want to see us playing in UEFA competitions next season and I want to assure you that we will look after the club and its future.

Jim Ratcliffe
