Legend John Terry Leads Coalition to Buy Chelsea

John Terry, the Chelsea legend, along with former Chelsea player Claire Rafferty, is leading a coalition titled "True Blue," with the aim of acquiring a 10% stake in Chelsea Football Club for £250 million. It has been reported that Harley Kisberg, founder of an online media company, and investment banker Stanford Loudon, are among the "Blues" supporters who have become founding members of the coalition. According to a report published by the global website "Goal," the offer will allow fans, former players, and employees to buy shares in the club, granting them the right to vote on the club's future. The newspaper confirmed that former "Blues" captain John Terry cannot fund a full bid to compete for complete ownership of the club, even as Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea, is looking to sell. This comes as the "Blues" are set to close the bidding window for the sale of the club this Friday evening, after which bids will be narrowed down to a shortlist of four potential new owners. "Goal" also noted another figure behind the coalition, David Miller, a donor to the Conservative Party and a Chelsea supporter, who has invested in the idea alongside his son Jonathan. Miller's involvement may raise controversy, having allegedly benefited from the government's VIP fast-track route for friends and donors of the Conservative Party to secure personal protective equipment contracts during the peak of the pandemic, and he was also the president of the Presidents Club, a fundraising group that has since been shut down.
