Chelsea Supporters' Trust have paid tribute to Roman Abramovich's tenure at Stamford Bridge and appealed to prospective new owners to not simply see the club as an investment opportunity.
The Russian owner announced his intention to sell the club on Wednesday evening, in advance of Chelsea's FA Cup clash with Luton Town.
Abramovich's statement followed speculation that a consortium including Todd Boehly and Hanjorg Wyss were preparing a move after the latter had been offered the club, while characters as far reaching as Conor McGregor even declared their interest.
