Under-fire Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been backed by controversial political figure Nigel Farage amidst the uncertainty surrounding his now-precarious Stamford Bridge future.
Abramovich announced his intentions to sell the club last week in a statement, saying it was ‘in the best interests of the public’ to do so.
The Russian oligarch has come under intense criticism in recent weeks after his position became untenable due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with reports claiming he had close ties with President Vladimir Putin.
He told the club’s official website that he wished to sell the European champions after a 19-year stint, with no intention for the new potential owner to repay the £1.5billion loan he had lent the club in that time.
