Chelsea FC News: Full explanation of Roman Abramovich's statement

Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich released a statement on Chelsea FC's ownership last night via the club's official website. In the latest Chelsea FC News, we will go through every detail of that statement and how that will affect the club's ownership.

So here are some questions that might arise after the statement made by the Russian owner.

Is Roman Abramovich still the owner of Chelsea FC?

Yes, Roman Abramovich is still the owner of the football club from West London. Roman will be continuing as the owner of the Chelsea Football club.

But, who is in charge now?

Though Roman still holds the ownership of the club he stepped away from all the leadership duties he held previously. Hence, he will not be involved in any kind of internal decision or operations within the club that he owns since 2003.

In that case, the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation now holds all the authority to manage all the operations and internal duties.

Who are the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation?

Bruce Buck, JOhn Devine, Emma Hayes, Piara Power, Paul Ramos and Sir Hugh Robertson are the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation. They will now resolve all the issues that they used to solve earlier in Roman's absence.

Although, they will not be running Chelsea's day-to-day operations. Club director Marina Granovskaia will continue to look after the football operations of the club. Meanwhile, Peter Cech will continue his position as the technical advisor. Along with them Bruce Buck, Guy Lawrence and Eugene Tenenbaum will continue to run the business of the club.

Why Roman Abramovich has decided this?

This is just to maintain the club's image and reputation from the club's association to the Russian businessman during the ongoing situation of Russia and Ukraine.

Will this affect Chelsea financially?

Since Roman bought the club back in 2003, Chelsea has found financial stability. Moreover, with the revenue, they generate through player transfer, matchday revenue, TV rights and merchandise sales, Roman does not have to pump any of his personal wealth into Chelsea.

Though he has already contributed 1.5 billion Euros to Chelsea from his personal wealth Chelsea should pay him back as a loan. However, as per reports by Goal, the Russian businessman "won't look to have those debts repaid in the near future."

Will this stop Roman from being sanctioned by the UK Goverment?

The UK Government might look to punish a group of wealthy Russian nationals to stop Putin from the invasion of Ukraine. In that case, Roman can be the target. Although, with that inline Roman is not looking to sell the club yet.

How does that affect the players and stuff before the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool?

The timing of everything has been very tough for all the Chelsea players and management. Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel feels this can be a distraction to all of them before the final.

"The situation in general, for me and for my staff and for everybody here at Cobham, for the players, is horrible," Tuchel told reporters on Friday afternoon," Tuchel said in the press conference ahead of their clash against Liverpool.

"To a certain degree I can understand it to such a degree the opinions and the critical opinions towards the club, towards us who represent that club. I can understand that and we cannot fully free ourselves from it," Tuchel went on to add.

The Carabao Cup Final will start at 10 pm IST tonight.

Premier League: History

The Football League First Division was the top-tier football league in England from 1888. But in the post-1970s and early 1980s, the league started to reach a low point with incidents like the 1985 Heysel Stadium disaster, which banned them from UEFA Competitions for five years. 

But after England reached the 1990 FIFA World Cup semi-finals, the downward trend started to reverse. The stadium started to get filled, and the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards also helped clubs to create better standard stadiums. 

After a dispute over TV rights and maximising the club revenue, the big five clubs, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, and Arsenal, opted to come out of the Football League First Division and create another league. 

At the close of the 1990-91 season, the FA Premier League was formed, and from 1992-93 the Premier League era started with 22 teams. Manchester United were the first Premier League champions and went on to win seven of the first nine trophies.

Who has won the most Premier League titles?

Manchester United, with 13 Premier League titles since 1992, are the most successful club in the Premier League era.
