Blues fair go pledge

TOM RICKETTS has made an “absolute commitment” to ensuring that diversity and inclusion is at the heart of his family’s bid for Chelsea.

There are concerns over the Americans’ potential stewardship of the Blues after it emerged patriarch Joe Ricketts was accused of Islamophobia three years ago.

Tom Ricketts said: “Over the past fortnight, our bid team has met with several supporter groups to explain our vision for Chelsea.

“We believe these are far-reaching and include an absolute commitment on the part of the Ricketts family and the bid team to put diversity and inclusion at the heart of the club.”
