Roman Abramovich gives trustees Chelsea 'stewardship'

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has announced that he is handing stewardship of the club to trustees of its charitable foundation.

Roman Abramovich will no longer be involved in club matters on a day to day basis and long term strategic decision making powers will instead be handed over to the Chelsea Foundation.


In a statement, the Russian billionaire said: "During my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC, I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities.

"I have always taken decisions with the club's best interest at heart. I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.

 

To be honest I'm not happy with the wording of this, stewardship?

Will there be guarantees in place that he will receive no benefits from the club while in that stewardship or while any future sanctions remain in place. Also can we be sure no Russians, friends, business partners or family will be no benficiary to anything regarding Chelsea FC. If these guarantees are not forthwith, the club should be ceased.

Edit: I meant to say seized, but thinking about it ceased would be better.

 

@brb please move this to the appropriate thread.

Which is titled the breakup of boyband fc


If onky just to piss off pinkie

 

oh yeah, you've already created a thread for this, that is true.

 

Smart way to protect his asset. I don't think it'll work though, expect it to be seized and sold to a friend of Boris for a fiver.

 

Putin the **** of it bro

 

Unlucky boys. Our lovely benevolent owner has done the best for the club as always and as current champions of the world and cl champs things are bluer than ever

 

Has he? Seems like hes given partial control of it to the people who sort out his tax evasion, whilst keeping 100% of the asset. Which means he's trying to do the best thing for him.

 

I forgot about that too

Sucky's one must have been too forgettable

 

Dunno, sounds good for chelsea though so i will take it.

Not sure why roman being mates with putin has come to this. Ponce andrew is mates and shagged a trafficked girl and we the tax payer are paying for him to be happy

 

Yeah it was a terrible thread. I only skim read it and didnt even post there

 

BobbyD

 

Sucky really should put some effort into these threads tbh.

 

Tom Hicks is still on the lookout for a club, as is Mike Ashley.

 

For now.

 

The Pozzos need a feeder club for Watford

 

Not read into the nitty gritty but what does this mean?

the money going into the club…where will it come from or isn’t that what it’s about? I mean it ought to be about that but we talking about a weak government here easily swayed by money themselves.

 

Roman will still have his finger in whatever pie he wants imo

Shady manoeuvres
