John Terry has vowed to protect Chelsea's "history and heritage" after confirming he has joined the True Blues Consortium. On the last day of Chelsea's own takeover deadline day, the big news aside from the offers being submitted in different forms came with the 41-year-old's decision to make his own move for the club but in a different way.
It was revealed by football.london that it would be down to the new owners instead of the government to give the supporters this so-called 'golden share' with Boris Johnson and co planning on not getting too heavily involved in the takeover process. There has been no explicit emphasis on any new owner (with the exception of Nick Candy) to have the fans at the heart of their pitch to follow on Abramovich's work.
However, Terry and former Chelsea women's player Claire Rafferty are aiming to do something that will ensure that regardless of the new ownership structure, fans will play a big part in future decision making and day to day running of certain operations within the club. As revealed by GOAL, the duo are fronting up a £250million consortium called True Blue in an attempt to buy a 10% stake in the club.
