John Terry and Claire Rafferty are reportedly joining the race to acquire a share of Chelsea, and with two club legends potentially at the helm, the Blues could unlock doors that money can’t.
John Terry and Claire Rafferty are ‘fronting up’ a £250 consortium called ‘True Blue’ in a bid to secure a 10 per cent stake in Chelsea, according to Goal.
A deadline for bids were set for this March 18 at 9 pm UK time, when a list of prospective bidders will be shaved down to just three suitors before deciding the best offer to be accepted.
Goal adds that the Chelsea and England all-timers face stern competition from as many as 27 different bids for the west London side, but only ten could be substantial enough to consider.
A consortium led by Hansjörg Wyss, Todd Boehly and Jonathan Goldstein has reportedly submitted an offer in the region of £2bln meanwhile there is also interest from Woody Johnson, the owner of the NFL’s New York Jets, the Ricketts family, who own the MLB’s Chicago Cubs, British property tycoon Nick Candy and Saudi Media.
Despite not having the billions to compete for undisputed ownership, Terry and Rafferty’s prospective offer could have the minerals which unlock doors that money can not.
So, we Carefree Chelsea at football.london, explored the four things that would definitely happen to the west London side if they took the helm at Stamford Bridge.
