Buck hits out at Chelsea fans

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has hit out at a small section of Chelsea fans who have sent racist messages to the club after the appointment of Israeli Avram Grant.

"We welcome all constructive points of view," he said. "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.

"It unfairly smears the reputation of the vast majority of the Chelsea fans who rightly do not want to be associated with such activity."
