Sir Jim Ratcliffe has refused to rule out a future bid to buy Chelsea.
Britain’s richest man appeared to laugh off suggestions he was interested in the Blues at the launch of Team Ineos, the rebranded Team Sky, following his takeover of the cycling giant in March.

“You never say no, but I don’t know where those conversations will finish,” Ratcliffe said.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reportedly turned down Ratcliffe’s £2billion offer for the club last summer.
The Manchester United fan, 66, bought Swiss club Lausanne through his chemical company, Ineos, in 2017.
Earlier this year, an Ineos spokesperson confirmed the company had expressed an interest in buying Ligue 1 club Nice.
