In an incredible outburst in the Daily Mail, Bates said "The question of Chelsea's shareholders was first looked into when we went public in 1996 and it was accepted by the Stock Exchange.

"The FSA then held an inquiry about a year ago and found nothing wrong. I am now fed up with this innuendo. I want to know what evidence they are supposed to have received and who is the source.

"I challenge the little worms at the FSA in the most robust way to come out from under their stone and justify their action. If they don't have the facts then they can explain their attitude to everyone in the High Court because I am determined to get to the bottom of this."

It's been said before and it'll be said again- don't mess with Ken Bates!
