After the rapid escalation of the "Russian-Ukrainian conflict", the sanctions imposed on Russia by European countries have gradually extended to various fields. On March 3, Beijing time, Premier League CEO Masters confirmed in an interview that the Premier League is considering suspending and terminating its broadcast contract in Russia. This also means that the Russian people will not be able to watch the Premier League, which is known as the "world's first league" through formal channels in the future.
Masters explained about the plans to terminate the broadcast contract: "We will consider the suspension and termination very seriously, we are now studying the contract, and I want the Russian people to see the power of emotion in other countries!" ”
In addition, the Premier League CEO also said that Chelsea boss Abramovich's sale of the club was an extremely competitive decision: "Because his ownership is not sustainable. The sooner the sale process is completed, the sooner everyone will have a good idea of the club's prospects! “
But while Abu would rather give up his beloved club for years, the British government and media don't seem willing to let him go. Well-known British host Pierce Morgan suggested to the FA on his personal social media account that Chelsea be expelled from the top four of the Premier League this season. Morgan said the harsh penalty against Chelsea was part of a punishment imposed by its owners in connection with Russia.
In addition, the British celebrity also said that Chelsea fans should condemn Abu rather than praise, "Chelsea fans desperately proved that the reason they defended Abramovich was that Abu was not involved in current affairs, but this was not the case!" ”
Currently, Chelsea are temporarily 3rd in the Premier League table, behind Manchester City and Liverpool, with the top four solid. And if Chelsea are expelled from the top four, Arsenal supported by Pierce Morgan, as well as Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams, are expected to become the beneficiaries.
