Chelsea fans have reacted with shock after reports that Chicago Cubs owner Joe Ricketts is preparing a 'blockbuster' offer for the club after he came under fire for saying 'muslims are my enemy' in 2012.
The Blues are continuing their scramble for new ownership as Roman Abramovich looks to secure the club's future after being sanctioned by the UK government amid his ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin, and Chelsea have been inundated with interest from around the world.
The latest names to be linked with purchasing Chelsea are American tycoon Ken Griffin and Ricketts, who are understood to be readying a huge bid - with Griffin alone having a fortune worth around £20billion ($26.
