I have always taken decisions with the Club's best interest at heart. I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea's charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC. 执掌切尔西俱乐部近20年的时间里，我一直把自己看作是俱乐部的管理者，我的工作 就是确保我们能取得最大的成功，同时建设未来，在我们的社区内发挥积极作用。做 出决策时，我总是把俱乐部的最大利益放在心上。我仍然坚持这样的价值观，因此今 天我要将要给切尔西俱乐部的管理权赋予慈善基金会受托人。 I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans. 相信目前他们将在最有利的地位照管俱乐部、球员、员工和球迷的利益。 https://www.chelseafc.com/zh/news/2022/02/26/ statement-from-club-owner-roman-abramovich --------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/60540278 It is not known yet if Abramovich will be sanctioned as part of the UK government's measures against Russia. BBC Sport understands Chelsea are not for sale, and the ￡1.5bn loan their owner gave to the club is not being called in. == Analysis == Football finance expert Kieran Maguire, The Price of Football Podcast The words Roman Abramovich has used are not ones we would normally use from a legal perspective. He has said he is handing across control to the club's charitable foundation so he will no longer be the person making the final decisions in regards to the transfer budget, the manager and other key elements of the club. He does own the club. Chelsea FC is owned by a company called Fordstam, and Fordstam has borrowed ￡1.5bn from a company called Camberley International which is based in the British Virgin Islands and that company is controlled by Roman Abramovich, so it is already a fairly convoluted structure. How the Chelsea Foundation will be funded, we are not certain. I think Abramovich will be concerned - if the UK Government try to seize his assets then those assets would include Chelsea Football Club and that could have implications if this conflict drags on for a long period of time in terms of how the club be funded. Clearly, there would be reluctance for it to be funded by the taxpayer. By transferring it to the foundation, which is a charitable arm and he is not one of the trustees - although some people with long business connections are on the foundation - his legal team would be able to say Chelsea could not be seized by the government. -- ＫＴＢＦＦＨ --
