Chelsea legends John Terry and Claire Rafferty are in the process of constructing their own consortium in an attempt to purchase a 10 per cent share from the new owners of the club.
With the 9pm deadline fast approaching for new bids to be submitted before a shortlist compromising of three to four consortia is made and decided by the Raine Group, a few of these groups will be scrambling together at the eleventh hour to try and submit their offers.
Whoever is to prove successful in their bid will have to appease to the fans, especially the Chelsea Supporters Trust, who are demanding like other supporters to see more fan representation at the club as the west Londoners prepare for a new era post-Roman Abramovich.
