The Ricketts family reportedly hold a valuable advantage in their bid to buy Chelsea from Roman Abramovich as next week's deadline for final bids approaches.
Four bidders remain in the running to takeover from the Russian following his 19-year run at the helm of the Blues. Alongside the Ricketts family, Todd Boehly's consortium, Sir Martin Broughton's consortium and Steve Pagliuca's remain in contention for the ownership.
But anger has been sparked among Chelsea fans after Islamophobic comments from Joe Ricketts emerged. Joe is not involved in the bids or in the current ownership of the Chicago Cubs but that is viewed as irrelevant by a significant number of fans who want to see the club moved into the right hands.
