On Saturday, she posted a message about the exclusion of Abramowicz. However, it was added that this decision does not significantly affect the functioning of the club. “Following sanctions by the UK government, the Premier League board has removed Roman Abramovich from his position as Chelsea Football Club director. The board’s decision does not affect the club’s ability to train and play matches under the terms of the government-issued license that expires on May 31, 2022.” – we read in the announcement.
Chelsea in great trouble. It may even go bankrupt
found herself in serious trouble due to the sanctions imposed on the club’s owner, Roman Abramowicz. The British government froze the Russian oligarch’s fortune, preventing him from selling The Blues. The club also faces further problems in everyday functioning. He cannot sell players or even tickets for the next games. In addition, he has a limited travel budget, which means that he may have problems reaching the 1/8 final match against LOSC Lille.
“They won the Champions League a year ago, now they do not know how they will go to the next game. Sanctions against Roman Abramovich left Chelsea in limbo. Club businesses are frozen, sponsors have started to withdraw, possibly Chelsea will lose players as well. The monthly cost of maintaining the club is 50 million pounds, and the black scenario assumes that the money will last a few months “- According to the latest information, Abramowicz instructed the commercial bank Raine to continue selling the club, and the offers are to be considered by the end of next week. However, consent must be given by the national authorities.
Abramovich took Chelsea to the top, but his money stinks
In 2003, Abramovich bought Chelsea for 140 million euros and became one of the first billionaires to play football. During his presidency, the club won 21 titles, winning the Premier League five times, the Champions League twice and once. This season, the club also won the European Super Cup and the club world championship. However, it is hard to resist the impression that the Russian in part simply wanted to improve his image thanks to sports investments. The English refer to this mechanism as “sportswashing”.
The more it is worth considering when reading the reports of the “Daily Mail”.
