Chelsea, Abramovich hands over stewardship of club
Chelsea Club Owner Roman Abramovich has handed over 'stewardship and care' of Chelsea to the trustees of Chelsea's charitable foundation.
The Blues' foundation trustees include Bruce Buck, John Devine, Emma Hayes, Piara Power, Paul Ramos & Sir Hugh Robertson.
The official statement read: "During my nearly 20-year ownership of Chelsea FC, I have always viewed my role as a custodian of the Club, whose job it is ensuring that we are as successful as we can be today, as well as build for the future, while also playing a positive role in our communities. 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.
I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the Club, players, staff, and fans."
