Beyond the victory that the Chelsea got before Norwich City within the framework of Date 30 of the premier leagueand that the fans blues showed their support for the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich on the visit to Carrow RoadThese are not easy days at a club that will beg the British Government this Friday to ease restrictions to avoid a financial disaster, because without income the future has become dark in Stamford Bridge.
As reported by the Daily Mailthe Blues are heading for bankruptcy and could be left on the verge of bankruptcy in just over 15 dayswhich has led the ministers of the government British to seriously consider the option of force the sale of the club for close to $4 billion without Roman Abramovich have to give permission or get some benefit.
The Chelsea achieved another victory in the premier leaguethis time 3-1 against Norwich with goals from Chalobah, Mount and Havertzsome of the stars that cost him a fortune to maintain for their astronomical salaries.

With the penalty to Abramovich prevents the London entity from raising money from ticket sales and merchandisethe picture is bleak.
As if that were not enough, the company Three has suspended its sponsorship agreement on the shirt, while other sponsors such as Nike,Hyundai and Zapp they also evaluate the option of breaking their contracts. In this context, British ministers could take control of the sale process to divert any profit from Abramovich’s hands and give it to an independent charity.

chris philpMinister of Technology, criticized fans of the Chelsea who chanted the name Roman Abramovich on his trip to Carrow Road. “I’m a football fan too, I’m a fan of Crystal Palace, South London. So I understand why fans are very attached to their football clubs. But Roman Abramovich is someone who has been sanctioned for his very close ties to Vladimir Putin. I just respectfully say to the Chelsea fans, I know he has done a lot for the club, but the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and what the Russian regime is doing to civiliansbombing maternity hospitals and shooting civilians fleeing humanitarian corridors, that’s more important than football”, he said in dialogue with TimesRadio.
The Daily Mail notes that ministers are going to stand firm on the restrictions and could even force the sale, effectively leaving Abramovich with two options: accept the conditions of the Government and lose the club for nothingor let the Chelsea walk slowly towards bankruptcy.
