Chelsea have reportedly denied rumours that Roman Abramovich has put up for sale.
News
broke on Sunday morning that the Blues had been listed on the market,
with mega-rich foreign investors being alerted to the situation.
Abramovich was thought to be hoping to secure a world-record sale for
the football club he has owned since 2003.
Naturally, this news
was met with concern from Chelsea fans. Abramovich loves the club and
has proven both the affection and respect he has for the supporters
throughout his 15-year tenure. A new owner couldn’t guarantee that.
Our
fears may have been premature. Simon Johnson has reported that he has
been informed by the club that Abramovich has no intention of selling
and there is no truth to the speculation.
We may never know the full
story. Abramovich is an incredibly private man and will not speak out
about any reports in the press. For now, we’ll assume that he remains
fully committed to the task at hand at Stamford Bridge.
