Roman Abramovich hit with fresh £330million worry as Todd Boehly's Chelsea era kicks off

Former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich still has multiple problems to contend with despite the Blues sale being done.

The Russian oligarch, whose 19-year ownership ended in such a controversial fashion a few weeks ago, was set to sue the European Union Council for how they have treated him due to his supposed links to Vladimir Putin and the sanctions that followed. Boris Johnson and his government also took matters into their own hands and asset-stripped him of his beloved Blues.

Something that resulted in in the club being operated under a 'special license' which prohibited money being generated in any form. After many months of stress, Todd Boehly was able to conclude his £4.25billion takeover. A deal that finally gave the fan base some clarity after the 2021/22 campaign had been tumultuous emotionally for everyone associated to the west London giants.
