The Premier League board has disqualified Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich as a director at the English top-flight club, the league said in a statement on Saturday.

Now it will be very interesting to see how this decision will affect the game and the results of Chelsea in the English league and in the Champions League.
I read somewhere that they will now have a very limited budget for travel expenses, salaries and other expenses.
It has even become questionable whether they will have enough money to continue competing in the Champions League.
This will now be a very difficult situation for the club and its players and fans.
Can Chelsea in these circumstances be equal to the competition in the Champions League and the national league?
The end of this season will probably be followed by a big sale of the team.

Previously Roman Abramovich had said that the proceeds from the sale would go entirely to the victims of the war in Ukraine, but after that the British government made a very unfair decision for Chelsea by freezing all income. In fact, Roman Abramovich himself will not receive money from the sale, but why does the British government seem to strongly condemn Chelsea from the war that took place there. It was a very unfair decision because Chelsea is only a football club and not a supplier of weapons, such a decision will certainly greatly disrupt Chelsea's future performance in both the EPL and UCL.
I feel the Uk government are somewhat harsh on Chelsea FC, this seem to be beyond Roman Abramovich right now as person. The club has staffs, they can seize the club till they have a buyer to purchase it but they should allow the club run as it should. It is becoming boring to see how they are literally destabilizing  that club day after day with the stiff laws/sanctions.


All clubs in any competition should have equal conditions, otherwise the question of the regularity of the competition may be raised.
I don't think it's good to mix politics and sports and that Chelsea should be allowed to compete normally in the English Championship and the Champions League, regardless of their current owner.
Chelsea players and fans deserve the same treatment and chance for sporting success as all other clubs.
I think the UK government has gone too far here.
They punished not only the owner of the club but also all employees, players and fans of the club what is not sustainable and fair.
