Cobra Beer founder Lord Karan Bilimoria has announced he's joined the Ricketts family's bid to buy Chelsea.
The Chelsea fan and founding chairman of the UK India Business Council adds political clout to the Chicago Cubs-owning Ricketts' attempt to buy the Blues.
US multi-billionaires Ken Griffin and Dan Gilbert have teamed up with Tom and Laura Ricketts to put together a hefty offer for Chelsea, with the sale expected to reach a sports-franchise record £3billion.
And now Bilimoria has joined the consortium with plans to act as a club ambassador should the Ricketts bid prove successful.
“I founded Cobra Beer just down the road from Stamford Bridge and have been a season ticket holder for many years," said Bilimoria.
“So when Tom Ricketts approached me to discuss a leading role in his bid group, there was no way I could refuse.
“Tom and the wider group have a proven track record of running successful sports teams and a strong vision for both the club and the local community."
