CHELSEA chairman Bruce Buck has accused some of the club s fans of racist abuse since Avram Grant replaced Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge. Buck s revelations arrived as Chelsea s season showed no signs of improving, held to a 0-0 draw at home to neighbours Fulham. Buck said, We welcome all constructive points of view, but there have been a few which could be viewed as racist and anti-Semitic and that must stop immediately.
This is one thing we will not tolerate, whether in written correspondence, on the chat pages, on posters or banners, or through singing and chanting. The anti-Semitic comments were aimed at Grant whose Polish father Meir, 80, is a holocaust survivor. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Grant s problems were compounded with a serious injury to captain John Terry and a red card for Didier Drogba.
Terry had an operation on a depressed fracture of the cheek after he was elbowed by Fulham s Clint Dempsey and could miss England s Euro 2008 qualifiers against Estonia and Russia.
