On the evening of March 12, Beijing time, after the British government imposed sanctions, the Premier League board officially issued an announcement to disqualify Romain Abramovich as a director of Chelsea Football Club. The Premier League Board said in the announcement: "As provided for in a special licence issued by the UK Government, the Board's decision will not affect the club's training and competition, which expires on 31 May 2022. ”
According to the British media "Daily Telegraph", the Premier League's move is to disqualify Abu from having Chelsea and not allow him to participate in the operation of Chelsea Club.
Previously, the British government had announced the freezing of all of Abramovich's assets in britain. And with Abu sanctioned, Chelsea clubs have also been greatly affected. Not only was it impossible to sell tickets, but even the transfer and renewal of players was temporarily stranded.
In addition, Chelsea's bank accounts and credit cards have been frozen, the team's funds have encountered great difficulties, and Chelsea Club is now unable to even buy fuel for the team's bus. Arguably, chelsea's operations are in danger of being paralyzed as the British government's sanctions against Abu continue.
There is only one way left for Chelsea and Abu at the moment, and that is for Abu to let Chelsea go directly and not ask the club for the $1.5 billion in debt owed to him. He then commissioned the parties to find a new boss for Chelsea as soon as possible. However, the government's operation of Chelsea only expires on May 31, leaving little time for the Blues and Abu to make decisions.
