If you are The Ricketts Family right now and you are still thinking that it is a good idea to try and buy Chelsea Football Club, I have one question for you, are you totally stupid?
READ THE ROOM!
Fans collectively do not want you lot anywhere near this club. In fact, apart from the Super League, I have NEVER seen Chelsea fans so passionately and so collectively all pulling in the same direction for the same thing ever before.
If you don’t think that is a big deal, just go and look how we shut the roads down outside Stamford Bridge and forced Petr Cech to come out and diffuse the situation when the club tried to join the Super League. Then what happened? the club changed their minds and rightfully heard us. We WILL get our voices heard and we WILL make a difference.
Because fan power is HUGE and should never be underestimated. Chelsea have a massive fanbase all over the world, you really want to still now come and buy a club where it’s entire fanbase collectively hate you? You think some PR can spin this on its head? News for you, it cannot, and it will not. Blues fans have made their minds up and The Ricketts Family are not welcome here.
Look at the #NoToRicketts campaign and how that made Sky Sports News this week as a topic of debate. That’s WITHOUT even forming a protest. What do you think will happen if we start protesting? And that WILL come next, I assure you.
Back out now and save face, there is zero point in you buying a football club with zero fan backing. Fans MAKE a football club, and Chelsea fans in particular, are VERY powerful. This isn’t the Chicago Cubs anymore guys, this is one of THE biggest sports teams in the world with fans all around.
Go home now.
