The overall consensus this afternoon seems to be that it’s the three American-led events making an attempt to purchase Chelsea FC who’re main the race, and all bar one in all them, this may be completely disastrous and easily can’t occur.
I’m not even speaking about the truth that each The Ricketts household and Woody Johnson may try and run Chelsea like The Glazers and Manchester United, or Liverpool, the place it’s all about revenue and the ‘franchise’. I used to be ready to attempt to search for positives away from that and hope that neither would function this fashion and each would put our membership’s finest pursuits at coronary heart, extra hope than something. However I used to be ready to hope.
Nevertheless, what I’ve learn this afternoon has even taken away that slight little bit of hope I used to be ready to have, as a result of fairly merely, I don’t need both of them close to our soccer membership, purely for integrity causes.
This tweet from 2019, ought to immediately put to mattress any speak of The Ricketts household proudly owning Chelsea, they’re a shame. They can’t come wherever close to us and there’s no means this might be handed by the Authorities.

And it doesn’t look a lot better for Johnson both, with some historic claims right here…

Chelsea merely can’t afford to place a brand new proprietor in with historical past and political hyperlinks like these two, it isn’t possible and it’s morally flawed. I’d take Todd Boehly, as a result of as a lot as I can see a minimum of he isn’t pulling off any of the nonsense that the above two are pulling on the very least. However these two, no means they are often our house owners and we should voice this in every single place proper now.
Get it proper, Chelsea, Raine Group, and UK Authorities, please!
