In the days and weeks to come there is sure to be a lot of recognition and debate over what Roman Abramovich's Chelsea legacy will be.
From the 'Chelski' moniker and one of the hottest seats in elite world football, to a vast amount of success over nearly two decades at Stamford Bridge - whether the Blues owner's contributions are tantamount to sportswashing or if he had genuine affection for the club, Chelsea have benefitted and been elevated to the top of the world stage.
In announcing his intention to sell, Abramovich has left a great deal of uncertainty. The 55-year-old noted that: "The sale of the club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid."
