- According to Goal, the True Blue consortium is directed by John Terry and former women’s international Claire Rafferty.
- Chelsea fans would allegedly be able to purchase fan tokens for more than £100 in exchange for voting privileges.
- The former Blues captain is unable to fund a complete offer to compete for full control of the club.
- David Meller, a Conservative party contributor, is said to be another person behind the group, according to Goal.
Supporters, players, and ex-staff would be able to purchase fan tokens for more than £100 in exchange for voting rights.
Terry has been quite active in recent months in advertising his ‘Ape Kids Football Club’ Non-Fungible Tokens collection, despite the fact that its value is claimed to have plunged by 90%.
Despite Roman Abramovich’s desire to sell, the ex-Blues captain is unable to bankroll a complete bid to fight for entire ownership of the club.
The news comes as the Blues’ bidding window for ownership of the club closes at 9 p.m. on Friday, following which proposals will be pared down to a shortlist of four prospective new owners.

David Meller Is A Possible Partner
Conservative party contributor David Meller, a Chelsea supporter who is investing in the proposal alongside his son Jonathan, is another person behind the partnership.
Meller’s role, however, may spark controversy after it was revealed that he benefited from the government’s fast-track VIP lane for Conservative Party cronies and contributors to win PPE contracts during the height of the pandemic.
He was also the chairman of the President’s Club, a fundraising organisation that was shut down in 2018 after an inquiry into sexual harassment claims during an event. Goal claims he has already volunteered with the club in a philanthropic role.

Terry led Chelsea to 16 trophies during Abramovich’s tenure, including five Premier League crowns, and thanked Abramovich on social media. ‘The World’s Best Owner.’ He was highly critised for this tweet.
The need of a speedy sale has been emphasised to all parties involved in the process, considering the financial challenges Chelsea has faced since Abramovich’s ban last week.
