Roman Abramovich’s key points on the sales of the London club have touched fans’ hearts. The owner of the club, who is a Russian, has been under pressure.
The United Kingdom has already barred him from staying in the country. This is despite the fact that he owns a big club in England. He has finally decided to sell the club.
He specifically said that he did make decisions for the best interests of Chelsea. He made it clear that nothing was personal in his handling of the club.
The Russian billionaire, of course, explained that he would sell the club for the interest of the players, fans, employees and sponsors.
In the speech, the owner revealed that the sales won’t be fast. And he explained how the proceedings would be spent.
He told pressmen, “The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.”
He made it very clear that it was a very difficult situation for him. He had passion for the club. But he said, it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.”
The western media have mounted so much pressure on the rich man. The ongoing crisis between Ukraine and Russia has further fuelled the attacks on him.
For a long period of time, he was unable to go to England. He could only watch his club play on the television.
Now he has to surrender and hand over the UEFA Champions League winners to another person.
Emotional Abramovich said that he would like to say his goodbye. But he wants to do it in person. He unveiled, “I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person.”
He ended his statement by saying, “Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.” And the Abramovich’s key points would resonate in people’s minds for long.
