Abramovich Decides Enough Is Enough

Posted on January 18th, 2009 by Chelsea D

From the minute Abramovich arrived at Chelsea there’s always been the odd bit of speculation around his level of commitment to the club.

Naturally then, in the current financial climate and with recent managers failing to deliver our Russian owner what we’re told he demands, it was pretty much expected that these rumours would increase. However, with speculation gathering even more pace lately and just about every headline informing us he’s ready to sell up, at long last Roman Abramovich has decided it’s time to put these stories to bed.

In a statement on the official Chelsea website today, we’re told:

“Defamation proceedings will be commenced tomorrow (Monday) in London by Roman Abramovich against the publishers of The Sunday Times.

This follows the publication by them of false claims that he wants to sell his interest in Chelsea FC. Mr Abramovich has already made quite clear, through the directors of Chelsea, that he has no intention of doing so and that neither he nor anyone upon his behalf has been pursuing any such course of action.”

It’s about time this happened. Fair play to him.

    I knew from the beginning that these stories about Abramovic wanting to sell Chelsea were just rubbish.

    Well done. At last it looks like we are taking a stance. Scolari played Mr. Nice Guy for too long now, its about time to call the spade a spade and shut those who are trying to unsettle our team as a whole and the individual players. I don’t belive Roman is a quitter after all he’s still the second richest man in the UK, he knows that a club like Chelsea is a valuable asset and by the looks of thing we might actualy start recording profits. Even thou it will not be much at first as long as we don’t have to use or owner money for our day to day expenses only maybe when we have to by a player or possibly upgrade the Bridge. Chelsea4life.
