If (and it's a huge if) Abramovic's assets were seized by the UK government then I suspect they'd write off the debt and sell Chelsea to the highest bidder.

True but they should be stripped of all trophies won in the abramovich era. If we took this step I am sure uefa and fifa would happily join in by removing the europa league, champions league, super cups and fifa club cup wins.
All runners up should be awarded the trophies.
This means we are 2015 league cup winners and 2017 premier league winners.

What a load of bs. Chelsea now run by a charity and not a russian oligarch so you can't sanction them. Lol. Nothing has changed. He still owns the club and tells them what to do.
