The Ricketts family will fly to London to meet Chelsea Pitch Owners and club supporters

The Ricketts family will fly to London in hopes of leveling out the growing tensions over their bid to buy Chelsea, despite not receiving any confirmation that they had done so on the list of preferred deals at all.

Bidders were still awaiting news of what deals had gone down Tuesday night, nonetheless, representatives of the Ricketts family – whose bids will be co-financed by hedge fund manager Ken Griffin – will fly to England due to objections from Blues supporters about their proposed takeover .

Once in the capital, they are expected to meet Chelsea Pitch Owners and the club’s supporters.

But they can be exposed to unpleasant questions from fans who do not want the Ricketts family at the helm because of concerns about their cultural beliefs.

Family patriarch Joe Ricketts was forced to apologize for describing Muslims as an ‘enemy’ in leaked emails dating back to 2012.

Since making the comments, Ricketts has apologized for his words and insisted that they ‘did not reflect his value system’.

‘I deeply regret and apologize for some of the exchanges I had in my emails. “Sometimes I received emails that I should have condemned,” he said in a statement.

‘Other times I have said things that do not reflect my value system. I’m convinced big ideas are wrong. ‘

Chelsea fans have been shocked by the news that the Ricketts family is preparing an offer for the club, years after their father (pictured) said “Muslims are my enemy” in leaked emails

Sportsmail revealed last week that Chelsea’s Muslim players, including Antonio Rudiger, N’Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech and Malang Sarr, would feel compromised if Ricketts’ bid succeeds – another problem they will have to navigate if they are elected as the club’s new owners.

Sources close to the Ricketts consortium say Joe is not part of the proposed Chelsea takeover.

But it remains a problem for fans as Paul Canoville, Chelsea’s first black player, took to social media contrary to Rickett’s bid.

“So I have seen and heard enough,” he wrote. ‘I support the Chelsea Supporters Trust and say a big fat anti-racism NO to Ricketts’ bid !! Can you not mention it. ‘
