Roman Abramovich has been found by the UK government to have “received preferential treatment and concessions” from Putin's murderous Russian regime and through his business links been “involved in destabilising Ukraine, and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence” of the eastern European country.

The Foreign Office has said he was implicated through the steel manufacturing and mining company Evraz plc, in which he had a significant shareholding and over which he exercised effective control. It said the firm may have supplied steel to the Russian military for the production of tanks.

PM Boris Johnson said, “We will be ruthless in pursuing those who ENABLE the killing of civilians, destruction of hospitals and illegal occupation of sovereign allies.”

Abramovich is one of those enablers. 

As a result of these findings, Abramovich’s assets in the UK have now been frozen,one of which is Chelsea FC, which he has funded with billions of pounds since 2003, money which has now been found to have clear links to illicit and illegal actions.  

On that basis and given the gravity of the slaughter of the innocents that continues each day in Ukraine, we demand that the Football Association, The Premier League and the UK Government immediately strip Chelsea FC of all trophies won under Abramovich's regime since it began in 2003.  

A few second tier trophies aside, this will leave Chelsea FC with having won one league title, two second division titles and two Full Members Cups, which they paraded around a muddy old speedway track at Stamford Bridge, 60 metres away from the pitch. 

Abramovich and Chelsea FC have been the Dick Dastardly and Muttley of English football for almost 20 years, one of them hiding in the shadows behind his cape, the other as the flea riddled scruffy dog that sniggered, as Putin's money continued to pull the strings and pay the massive salaries and bonuses.

They have now both run out of road and stripping them of their sports washed gained pots of silver, is simply the only moral road the authorities now have left to take. 

Please sign our petition and share with all of those that care about the murder of innocent people and their right to democracy. If you tolerate this.......
