John Terry part of consortium 'poised to announce' Colchester United takeover
- On Monday, former Chelsea captain John Terry was reported to be part of a £14 million consortium finalizing a takeover of League Two club Colchester United, the mid-table Essex outfit.
- Owner Robbie Cowling formally listed the Essex-based club for sale in September after a proposed takeover by the American-based Lightwell Sports Group collapsed last June.
- Terry is set to hold "significant influence" over the footballing side of the club, though the 45-year-old has previously pursued coaching roles without securing a managerial position.
- Negotiations involving former Chelsea striker Alexandre Pato previously collapsed in February, though Pato visited the club as a guest of Cowling before withdrawing from discussions.
- Terry joins a growing list of high-profile figures investing in English football, including A-lister Ryan Reynolds backing Wrexham and rapper Snoop Dogg at Swansea City.
