Chelsea Legend John Terry confirms he has entered Chelsea ownership race by confirming he is fronting up a £250million consortium looking to buy supporters a 10% share in the club. According to Daily mail.
The report continued to state that the former defender is leading the “True Blues Consortium” which plans to allow fans to buy a stake in the club for as little as £100.
Terry is working with the former Chelsea women’s player Claire Rafferty to actualize this dream and they have put their names to the consortium which has won the backing of Stamford Bridge freeholders, Chelsea Pitch Owners, and the club’s supporters’ trust.
‘Chelsea has been such an important part of my life for 22 years,’ said Terry.
‘I want to see the club’s history and heritage protected as we go into a new era with like-minded people who have the same long-term vision of building the best football club in the world and understand how important our DNA is.’
The consortium would elect one representative to sit on Chelsea’s board while fans who buy into the scheme would also get voting rights.
