Chelsea sanctions prompt soul-searching over football finance
Chelsea following sanctions imposed on Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich has sparked fresh debate over the sources of money that fuel Europe's richest league. The Premier League club had their assets frozen after Abramovich was targeted by the British government following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, leaving them to cope with a ban on ticket sales and merchandise. An expedited sale of the European champions will soon bring the curtain down on 19 years of nearly unbroken success under their 55-year-old owner, who has overseen five Premier League titles and two Champions League triumphs. Chelsea's first home game since the sanctions were imposed was against Newcastle, whose own ownership model is also in the spotlight after a controversial takeover in October by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. Rights group Amnesty raised concerns over the purchase, saying it was an attempt to "sportswash" the Gulf kingdom's human rights record.
Manchester, Liverpool mayors want FA Cup semifinal to be moved from London
Manchester and Liverpool have asked the Football Association (FA) to move next month's FA Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Liverpool to be moved from Wembley due to a lack of train services to London that weekend. City and Liverpool will meet over the Easter weekend but the mayors said the match would be difficult for fans to attend as engineering work scheduled for April 16-17 means there will be no direct trains to London from Manchester and Merseyside. "This leaves tens of thousands of fans from all over our region in an unfair position, as supporters' groups from both clubs have made clear today," Mayors Andy Burnham and Steve Rotheram said in a joint letter to the FA Chair Debbie Hewitt. "Without quick, direct trains, many people will be left with no option but to drive, fly, make overly complex rail journeys or book overnight accommodation. "We believe the most obvious solution is to move this game to a more accessible stadium and offer to work constructively with you to make that happen," added the letter sent on Tuesday.
