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. 執掌切爾西俱樂部近20年的時間裡，我一直把自己看作是俱樂部的管理者，我的工作 就是確保我們能取得最大的成功，同時建設未來，在我們的社區內發揮積極作用。做 出決策時，我總是把俱樂部的最大利益放在心上。我仍然堅持這樣的價值觀，因此今 天我要將要給切爾西俱樂部的管理權賦予慈善基金會受託人。 I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans. 相信目前他們將在最有利的地位照管俱樂部、球員、員工和球迷的利益。 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 --
