Roman Abramovich sanctioned by British government and cannot sell Chelsea

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, who is in the process of trying to sell the club, has been officially sanctioned by the British government as they take action against Russian Oligarchs

The British government has officially added Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to the list of sanctioned individuals.

Chelsea have been given a sporting licence to continue trading whilst Abramovich's assets have been frozen, but he will now be blocked from selling the club.

Abramovich, who purchased Chelsea back in 2003, announced he was looking to sell in a statement on March 2 in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Various interested parties have since come forward with up to 10 serious buyers putting themselves in the mix.

However, the measures put in place now block a sale - and the club are also set to be impacted in numerous ways, including being unable to sell tickets with only season ticket holders able to attend games.

A government statement confirmed: "Given the significant impact that today’s sanctions would have on Chelsea football club and the potential knock on effects of this, the Government has this morning published a licence which authorises a number of football-related activities to continue at Chelsea."

Hmm

The funniest thing is Russia will not still back down. Who gave USA World Power ? They found earth ? I back Russia with full force.

A lot of things have not been put to check since the beginning of civilization. Common we are all humans, no one should be greater than one. USA knows how to intimidate people ehn, I’m pretty sure they’re the Romans of those days.

Making some humans as kings and some as slaves. Is that how it is supposed to be ?

No one owns natural resources and it should be shared evenly and equally among every citizens of planet Earth be it born or yet to be.

May God Hear Our Positive Prayers. Amen
