Reaction to Chelsea announcement: 10/03/22
This is all the reaction from the ongoing situation at Chelsea
A story on the BBC website reads:
Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell Chelsea has been halted after the oligarch was sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian put the European champions up for sale after the threat of sanctions was raised in Parliament.
The freezing of Abramovich's assets, which include Chelsea, means the club cannot sell further match tickets.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire told BBC Radio 5 Live: “In the short term, it’s to a large extent business as usual. Chelsea will be able to pay wages due at the end of March and will have other overheads.
"The government will have been working with the Premier League to try to ensure that there is no disruption as far as the remainder of the season. Ultimately it’s a sideshow given what is happening in Ukraine."
The Chelsea Supports Trust released this statement.
The CST implores the Government to conduct a swift process to minimise the uncertainty over Chelsea's future, for supporters and for supporters to be given a golden share as part of a sale of the club.
