According to Sky News, the owners of NBA franchise, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have teamed up with one of the four remaining bidders for Chelsea. The report claims that Rock Entertainment Group (REG) is set to join forces with the Ricketts family.
The Ricketts family are the most controversial of the remaining bidders, with many Chelsea supporters vocal about their dislike of the interested party. The Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) released a statement in the week, saying: "Last week, the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust stated that the Ricketts family must urgently and publicly address supporter concerns — especially with regard to inclusivity, given both past and recent statements by members of the family.
"We also committed to surveying our members as to their confidence and support in the Ricketts family's bid for Chelsea FC. Yesterday we conducted a snap survey of our membership.
