Chelsea Pride, the Blues' official LGBTQ+ supporters group, have stated that whoever the next owners are must enhance the club's anti-discrimination work on all levels amid controversy surrounding the Ricketts Family and Woody Johnson.
Both American consortias have their own issues with members of the Ricketts Family and Johnson facing a social media backlash with the #NoToRicketts and #NoToJohnson hashtags being found regularly at this moment on Twitter.
Tom Ricketts, one of the younger members of the family, is still planning to continue out his London visit despite fears that the backlash could ultimately result in Raine not even shortlisting what were one of the frontrunners a couple of days ago. Despite their endorsement by the Muslim community back in Chicago coupled with their talks with a few Blues fans over the Atlantic recently, Chelsea Pride - just like the official Supporters Trust and Pitch Owners - want to see the club's diversity and anti-discrimination work enhanced.
