"For me, the noise that's been coming out if it - the club is not in jeopardy, is it?" Middlesborough head coach Chris Wilder said at a press conference about Chelsea's situation ahead of the FA Cup showdown.
"It's not a situation like a Macclesfield or a Bury in the football pyramid, what happened and shouldn't really have happened,' the Boro boss added.
"It will go up for sale and it will be bought by a billionaire, who will possibly invest more money into it, they'll possibly invest in the stadium, invest in the facilities.
"So I don't think there's, in the football world, an incredible amount of sympathy over what's happening, really, and I don't think Chelsea supporters would expect that as well.
"It will be a short period before the takeover and Chelsea will go again and they'll go on from strength to strength."
This is certainly the most tumultuous time in Chelsea's history since 2003 when Roman Abramovich bought the club.
However, the Russian oligarch was sanctioned for his close links with Vladimir Putin after the latter started the war in Ukraine.
Given that Chelsea benefitted from Abramovich's money for almost two decades, it's no wonder there's little sympathy for their situation right now.
