The four contenders for the takeover of Chelsea have until April 11 to submit their final offers to the American bank, Raine, who will then choose the best one. One of the potential buyers, the Rickett family, which also owns the Chicago Cubs, has been in turmoil since leaked emails in which Muslim people were cited as the family’s “enemies”. The supporter group, Chelsea Supporter Trust had published a press release during the week rejecting the Americans’ offer.
After conducting a survey, they are able to say that “72% of those who responded do not currently trust the Ricketts family to run an inclusive and successful club, while 5% of those surveyed believe the opposite.” So, according to The Sunthis Saturday afternoon, before the reception of Brentford, a hundred Blues supporters were present in front of Stamford Bridge to demonstrate against the potential takeover of the Rickets with songs and signs “No to Ricketts, no to racism” or “Take off the Ricketts, you’re not welcome here.” To see now if this event will have an impact when choosing the new owners.
