Chelsea bidder Todd Ricketts has become the latest member of the Ricketts family to be embroiled in a racism storm, after comments he allegedly made about Covid and American 'concentration camps' resurfaced.
The Ricketts family publicly declared their interest in submitting an offer to buy control of Chelsea from exiled owner Roman Abramovich before last week’s deadline. The Russian billionaire, who put the west London club up for sale earlier this month, remains under sanctions imposed by the UK government.
It is understood there are six interested parties who have submitted an offer which is under consideration by Raine, the U.S financial firm handling the sale of Chelsea. And the Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs baseball team in the United States, are included in that group.
