London's Stamford Bridge worries

(Baonghean.vn) - It is very likely that Russian owner Abramovich will leave Stamford Bridge after 15 years of association. The trouble started when he encountered difficulties in applying for a VISA in the UK.

In June 2003, the Russian billionaire bought ownership of this London team for 140 million pounds and to date he has poured 1 billion pounds into Chelsea. The billionaire's oil and gas profits have helped transform the London team into a European powerhouse as it is today.

Over the years, Abramovich has devoted all his heart and love to his beloved Chelsea, and he has rarely missed a match. Many times, he has used his private plane to transport the London players.

Visa, the main reason

According to The Times, the main reason for this decision of the Russian billionaire is due to the trouble in applying for a VISA in the UK. Instead, he was forced to change to Israeli citizenship earlier this week due to his Jewish origin.

And with the new passport, Abramovich will only be allowed to stay in the UK for no more than 6 months. This tycoon will not be allowed to hold any position at Chelsea even though he is the legal owner of the club.

Immediately after the British announced this regulation, Abramovich officially postponed indefinitely the plan to build a new stadium for Chelsea. "The Blues" were also granted permission by the London City Council to renovate Stamford Bridge stadium since 2018, costing the London blue team 500 million pounds.

The main people responsible for this new project are two talented architects Herzog and de Meuron - the ones who built the Bird's Nest stadium in China and the Allianz Arena of Bayern Munich. The project will start in 2018 by dismantling ancillary buildings such as restaurants, hotels, parking lots... and will be completed at the beginning of the 2021/22 season.

Accordingly, Chelsea will continue to play at the old stadium until the end of the 2017/18 season, before temporarily leaving Stamford Bridge for 3 years.

In addition, the goal of bringing coach Maurizio Sarri to Stamford Bridge is also frozen, Chelsea is urgently switching to another plan and is expected to announce its new coach next week.

Chelsea will replace Antonio Conte with Luis Enrique and appoint the former Barca tactician as their new manager in the coming days, according to Spanish sources. Negotiations with Napoli to reach a deal for Maurizio Sarri appear to have broken down.

Serie A club president Aurelio De Laurentiis remains adamant that the €8m compensation deal will not be reduced, meaning Chelsea are unlikely to meet the demands.

This time, Abramovich does not want to throw money at a new coach when preparing to sell Chelsea FC.

Sell ​​your darling child

A source from The Times recently confirmed that billionaire Abramovich is planning to sell the London team. According to Forbes, the value of the London team is currently estimated at around 1.44 billion pounds.

However, according to The Times, the price that Abramovich offered to those who wanted to buy was only 1.17 billion pounds. Exactly the same as the total amount that Abramovich had invested in the London team.

Regarding the above information, Abramovich has not yet made an exact statement on this issue. However, with his strong personality, if the application for a VISA extension in the UK continues to encounter obstacles, it is likely that the relationship between him and The Blues will soon come to an end.

And if that becomes true, Chelsea fans have every right to worry about a bleak future for the London team.
