Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has labelled Roman Abramovich "one of the worst things to happen to English football" following his decision to sell Chelsea.
Abramovich is set to part company with the Stamford Bridge club after Russia's invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, triggering a bloody war in eastern Europe.
The Russian oligarch has overseen the most successful period in Chelsea's history, winning 21 trophies - including five Premier League titles and the Champions League twice.
