Piers Morgan has hit out at what he has described as "weasel words" from Roman Abramovich after the Chelsea owner announced he was handing over the stewardship of the football club.
Abramovich, who has been involved with the Carabao Cup finalists since 2003, issued a statement revealing he would put the "stewardship and care" of the club in the hands of its charitable foundation.
The move from the 55-year-old comes at a time when he continues to be accused of having links with Russian premier Vladimir Putin - something which Abramovich denies - with Russian actions in Ukraine prompting strong statements from a number of individuals and bodies across the footballing spectrum.
