Prospective Chelsea owners Ricketts family give European Super League, Stamford Bridge pledge

The Ricketts family has outlined a list of promises should it win the bid to buy Chelsea, saying it would never allow the Premier League club to participate in a European Super League while also exploring the option of redeveloping Stamford Bridge.

The Ricketts, who own the Chicago Cubs, have been included on the shortlist to buy the west London club but came under pressure from the Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST), who said 77% of its members do not support their bid.

The Ricketts said they had met with several Chelsea supporters over the past couple of weeks and listened to their feedback.
