More Than Half Of Britons Think Roman Abramovich Should Have Chelsea Seized From Him

Russia President Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine on Thursday morning, causing mass outrage at Putin from across much of the world.

His actions have led to sanctions from the British government on Russia, and certain Russians in the UK, but many believe they haven't gone far enough so far.

And now it seems that the British public agree with Labour MP Chris Bryant that the club shouldn't be in the Russian's possession, with over 61% of those polled saying it should be removed, or that sanction doesn't go far enough.

The 55-year-old no longer lives in the UK, and hasn't had citizenship since 2018, and has rarely been seen at Stamford Bridge since moving to Israel.

Abramovich won a lawsuit against publisher HarperCollins last year when a book about Putin claimed the Russian president had ordered the billionaire to buy the Blues in 2003.

Since buying the west London club, Abramovich has seen incredible success at Stamford Bridge and the club have won literally every title.

Five of the club's six league titles have been won since 2003, as well as five FA Cups and two League Cups, and success hasn't been limited to domestic titles.

On Sunday they could add another League Cup victory, as they are set to meet Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
