What Chelsea Legend John Terry has done on Chelsea takeover deadline day amid Saudi Media’s £2.7billion bid
Chelsea legends John Terry and Claire Rafferty are putting together their own consortium in a bid to buy a 10% stake in the club from the current owners.
With the 9pm deadline fast approaching for new proposals to be submitted before the Raine Group creates and decides on a shortlist of three to four consortia, a couple of these groupings will be scrambling together at the last minute to make their offers.
Whoever is successful in their campaign will have to appease the fans, particularly the Chelsea Supporters Trust, who, like other supporters, want to see more fan representation at the club as the west Londoners prepare for a new era post- Roman Abramovich.
According to football.london, it will be up to the new owners rather than the government to offer the supporters this so-called ‘golden share,’ with Boris Johnson and co intent on staying out of the acquisition process.
With no explicit emphasis on any new owner, with the exception of Nick Candy, to put fans at the heart of their pitch to build on Abramovich’s work, 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.
The pair are doing this because they will be unable to fund a full bid and must instead become involved in a larger deal including UK, US, or Saudi billionaires, according to the story.
If this new consortium set up for the fans’ benefit by Terry, Rafferty, and the other numerous names mentioned in the report is successful, it would cost around £100 to buy a stake in the newly formed consortium, while the legendary centre-half is looking to offer valuable NFT tokens to the club’s players and staff if True Blue is successful in purchasing their 10% share.
