The legend of Stamford Bridge continued to write Twitter : ” Chelsea has been such an important part of my life for 22 years.

“Having met with the True Blues consortium and heard what it’s all about, I know they get it. They are a group of lifelong Chelsea fans and season ticket holders who have created a concept that complements and supports each preferred bidder running the club by adding fan connection and engagement with the board.
