Man Utd has not yet won the Premier League since coach Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The post-Ferguson team has not been able to shape its direction after nine years.

After Ferguson retired from Man Utd, CEO David Gill and his assistant coaches also left.

In any case, Abramovich’s departure will affect the psychology of Chelsea staff and players.

Abramovich’s team at Chelsea is also doing a good job, including Director Marina Granovskaia.

Under Abramovich, Chelsea worked with 13 different coaches.

There are three employees who have been with Abramovich since the early days, including president Bruce Buck.

Granovskaia moved from Moscow to London in the summer of 2003, after Abramovich bought Chelsea.

After Chelsea is sold, it is likely that Buck, Tenenbaum and Granovskaia will follow Abramovich.

Ferguson leaving Man Utd was a planned farewell, when he was over 70 years old. But his decision was made just a few months before the end of the season, and Man Utd could not find a suitable replacement.

The change of ownership at Chelsea could even be completed in a few weeks.

Abramovich said that the deal will not take place quickly, but will comply with legal procedures.

In theory, Chelsea is owned by Fordstam Limited.

The current way of operating Chelsea will only be guaranteed if the new owner is also rich and passionate.

Another major concern for buyers will be the planned renovation of Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea also just reported a loss of 197 million USD in the 2020-2021 season, despite winning the Champions League.

Chelsea’s future also depends on the new owner’s control.

Man Utd is trying to find someone like Ferguson.

When Chelsea was sold, it was very difficult for the team to find a new owner similar to Abramovich.

But 141 people richer than Abramovich may not care about this deal and not even pay attention to this sport.
