Football pundit and former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has continued to criticise Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich for relinquishing ‘stewardship and care’ of the Blues to the club’s charitable foundation.

The decision came after calls for the 55-year-old to be banned from owning the Stamford Bridge outfit due to his links to the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, who is behind their invasion of Ukraine.

Abramovich has not made it clear whether he is in support of Putin’s decisions or not, though his silence is leading many to believe that draw their own conclusions.

Chelsea released a statement on Saturday outlining the ‘changes’ in ownership, but Neville has been vocal in how he does not think the change is fair on the trustees, nor does he believe Abramovich will step away for the foreseeable future.

He tweeted on Monday morning: “The Trustees didn’t sign up to be used as a shield! They wanted to assist Chelsea’s efforts in the community. Poor from Abramovich and whoever was advising him.”

Neville was then asked what he should do and whether he should just sacrifice the club, to which he responded: “No. Say I own the club, I’m Russian and I’m proud of it. Don’t try and bluff us with some trustee rubbish. He’s the sole owner of Chelsea and nothing changed with the statement he made.
