Ricketts family release new 8-point pledge to Chelsea fans

The Ricketts family have launched a new eight-point pledge to Chelsea fans as their bid faces protests.

They have come under fire after leaked emails from the father of Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts saw him say Muslims are 'my natural enemy'.

But now the family have released an eight-point pledge to try and win over the support of the fans.

And among those pledges includes the promise to never join a European Super League.

The full eight-point pledge is as follows:

1) Make no change to the club's name, badge, and crest, or Chelsea blue, without the consent of supporters.

2) Never participate in a European Super League and always protect the integrity and heritage of Chelsea F.C.

3) Commit the resources necessary across all levels of the club to continue winning trophies, including investing in the first team, experienced football leadership and the Academy.

4) Put inclusion and diversity at the heart of the club and fight against any form of discrimination or inequality.

5) Create an Advisory Committee with diverse representation to ensure our decisions are informed by: a former men's and women's first team player, members of the CST and Chelsea Pitch Owners, and influential committee leaders.

6) Explore every option to redevelop Stamford Bridge and do everything in our power to keep playing in this historic stadium.

7) Match the current commitment to Chelsea F.C. Women and increase the number of women's matches played at Stamford Bridge.

8) Continue the vital charitable work of the Chelsea Foundation.
