Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck says the club will not tolerate what he
deemed as abuse bordering on racism directed by fans at manager
Avram Grant.
Israeli Grant, 52, has succeeded Jose Mourinho as Chelsea boss and
his side drew 0-0 with Fulham on Saturday.
"We welcome constructive points of view but we've had a few which
could be seen as racist and anti-Semitic," said Buck.
"This is one thing we will not tolerate whether written, on
banners, or through singing and it must stop immediately."
Grant's Polish father Meir, 80, is a Holocaust survivor and Buck
continued: "It unfairly smears the reputation of the vast majority
of the Chelsea fans who rightly do not want to be associated with
such activity."
Chelsea supporters were also chanting the name of Mourinho during
the second half of their game with west London rivals Fulham at
Stamford Bridge.
And the club's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich, who sat with
fans in the upper tier of the Shed stand instead of his private
box, was forced to endure their taunts.
