Gary Neville gives clear instruction to Ricketts family amid Chelsea takeover interest

Gary Neville has instructed the Ricketts family to "move away" from trying to purchase Chelsea Football Club. The Ricketts are one of the four remaining contenders in the bidding process to buy the club from Roman Abramovich.

Some supporters gathered outside Stamford Bridge ahead of the Blues' 4-1 defeat to Brentford to protest against the bid. Tom Ricketts recently released a statement to confirm his family's plans when it comes to Chelsea.
