In the past 2 weeks, Serena and Hamilton have negotiated many times with Sir Martin. The story of these legendary athletes is not the amount of money to co-own Chelsea, it is their influence in the world of sports. Sir Martin will not be as famous as this couple in the field of sports, with a famous sports team like Chelsea.
