Chelsea are in crisis but there is no will to leave club on their knees (The Guardian)

Premier League teams and the UK government do not want sanctions on Roman Abramovich to destroy club but swift sale is required.

If Chelsea were to finish third in the league, it would be worth about £34m. Then there are the sums that Abramovich would be permitted to invest within the parameters of the profit and sustainability rules – £105m over a rolling three-year period. That, plainly, has stopped and so, to repeat, it is imperative that the transfer of ownership happens with a degree of speed. The Three deal is worth £40m a year, although it is unclear how much more, if anything, was due to Chelsea before the end of the season. Chelsea continue to try to process the sanctions and argue against some of them. A part of the nervousness at Chelsea involves whether any more sponsors will follow the telecommunications and internet service provider Three in withdrawing support, at least temporarily. The integrity of the competition would not be compromised and it was a theme picked up by Thomas Tuchel. “As long as we have enough shirts and as long as the bus is full of fuel we will arrive and we will be competitive,” the Chelsea manager said.
