UK Government Sanctions Roman Abramovich by Tonymegabush1(op): 10:31am On Mar 10, 2022
Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by UK government which will bar the sale of chelsea with his assets frozen.
However, Chelsea have been given a special licence to continue with football related activities but the sale effectively bars the sale of the club following Roman Abramovich’s sanctioning and moreover Chelsea cannot sell anymore tickets Only season ticket holders are allowed at matches for the foreseeable future.

Abramovich is one of seven high-profile oligarchs who have been sanctioned by the government

The others include Oleg Deripaska, the owner of the EN+ Group, and Igor Sechin, the chairman of Rosneft

Sanctioning Chelsea Football Club effectively places it in limbo. A special licence from the Treasury means that 'football-related activities' such as tonights game against Norwich can go ahead

Roman Abramovich is described as a pro-Kremlin oligarch who has been involved in destabilising Ukraine. He is described as having a close relationship with Vladimir Putin and providing steel for tanks in Russia's war effort.

Why now? He has prepared his mind to sell the club. Why this sanction of not being able to sell and still not getting the usual benefits. It sucks so bad, Very disheartening... #wearewithyouRoman

The sanction includes ban on transfers and contract renewal.

That means Rudiger, Azpilicueta and Christensen will leave at the end of the season without replacements. Chai! This is harsh!
