Former Chelsea captain John Terry has
offered to help pay for a new banner
of Roman Abramovich to be displayed at
Stamford Bridge.
Terry won 17 trophies during his Chelsea
career. All but one of those triumphs
occurred after Abramovich purchased the
club in 2003.
In total, the Blues have won 21 team
trophies since the Russian arrived. That haul
includes five Premier League titles, five FA
Cups, two Champions Leagues, two Europa
Leagues and one FIFA Club World Cup.
But Abramovich is expected to part ways
with Chelsea soon as the club is the subject
of an ongoing bidding war.
Chelsea owner Abramovich was sanctioned
by UK government in March in response to
Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It was alleged that Abramovich had been an
ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin,
though the sanctioned Chelsea owner
denied this and has since attempted to
assist in peace talks between the warring
nations.
Days before he was sanctioned, Abramovich
announced his intention to sell Chelsea after
almost two decades of ownership.
In a statement, Abramovich had vowed to
pass on "all net proceeds" from the sale to a
new charitable foundation to help "all
victims of the war in Ukraine".
Reacting to that statement in March, Terry
tweeted a picture of himself and
Abramovich, along with the words: "The
Best".
Terry was criticized by politician Chris Bryant
at the time.
Labour Party MP Bryant said of Terry: "He
has posted a photo with Abramovich, who
is one of Putin's cronies. What will the
people of Ukraine think of the former
England football captain?"
Bryant told Terry to delete his tweet but the
ex-Chelsea skipper hit back at Bryant by
bringing up his voting record and expenses
history.
And Terry has now doubled down in his
defense of Abramovich by pledging to fund
a tribute to the 55-year-old.
A Twitter user representing the 'cfcuk
Fanzine' wrote on Friday: "I don't usually ask
for contributions but I'm looking to raise
£3200 for a 100ft x 50ft crowd surfer to
thank Mr Abramovich for all he's done for
Chelsea.
"I'll put £500 towards it. If you feel you can
contribute, please PayPal fanzine@cfcuk.net.
Any money over will go to charity."
Terry replied: "I'm in. The best owner."
Should this Terry-backed plan come to
fruition, it would not be the first time that a
banner showing support for Abramovich
has been flown at Stamford Bridge.
A Russian flag reading "THE ROMAN EMPIRE"
has been displayed at the stadium for more
than a decade and was still present at
Chelsea's most recent home game.

Abeg I never pass 30 oh... This has nothing to do with Bet9ja oh.

It is morally bad to recruit a person to hate somebody that you hate. Abramovich has done a lot for Chelsea Football Club. John Terry can not be recruited into hating somebody that brought him to limelight.
