Chelsea Supporters' Trust set to grill Ricketts family over Islamophobia controversy in video call

The Chelsea Supporters' Trust will have the opportunity to grill Tom and Laura Ricketts about the Islamophobic emails that have thrown the family’s bid to buy the club in jeopardy.

Representatives of the Ricketts bid are in London as their attempts to takeover at Chelsea accelerate.

The Ricketts’ offer is one of four shortlisted bids, but their offer has been disrupted by major objection from supporters.

Head of the family Joe Ricketts was forced to apologise in 2019 after a series of leaked emails revealed the American businessman had written ‘Muslims are naturally my enemy’.
