"I can report the vast majority of opinion has been of universal disdain." Those were the pointed words of Brian Wolff, head of Chelsea's Chicago Supporters Club and Chelsea Fans' Forum Overseas Representative.
Wolff's words encapsulated a lot of the concerns shared by fans online since reports emerged of the Ricketts family's interest to buy the club from Roman Abramovich in a statement released from his Twitter account on Monday evening.
The statement went on to list a number of those concerns. Citing their "political donations, fundraising and support for candidates who do not share the inclusive views of Chelsea Football Club and its supporters". Also mentioning the 19 years of work done by the club and Chelsea Foundation, becoming "a leader in committing to a Living Wage, and efforts to protect and promote equality for the BAME and LGBTQ+ communities."
