The Chelsea Supporters' Trust (CST) has set out five demands for the club's future owner – or ownership group – that it believes should be included in negotiations for the purchase of the Blues.
It was confirmed on Wednesday that Roman Abramovich intends to sell Chelsea after 19 years as owner. The Russian released a statement in which he claimed that a sale was in the best interest of the club.
Abramovich said that he will not be seeking any repayment loans he has given Chelsea – which are in excess of £1.5billion – and has stated net proceeds from the sale will be donated to a charitable foundation created to benefit victims of the war in Ukraine.
