Buck: Chelsea are not hypocrites

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck insists the club are not hypocrites for supporting skipper John Terry and at the same time lodging a complaint against referee Mark Clattenburg.

Buck says Chelsea have a “duty of care” for Terry even if he has done something wrong – he was banned for four matches for racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand – and that the club would have been “crucified” if they had not reported to the FA allegations that Clattenburg used inappropriate language interpreted as racist towards John Obi Mikel.
