Sister No wants to fight and not sell the team within the specified time limit. Ukrainian side has privately urged the UK not to sanction Abd

June 10th News Recently, a new book that revealed the inside story of Chelsea's sales, "Sanctions: The inside story of Chelsea Football Club's sales", was released. The Daily Mail excerpted some of the contents in the book.

The British government asked Abu to sell the club before May 31 in 2022, leaving only three months for the club. The then-team director Granovskaya (hereinafter referred to as Sister No) thought this was ridiculous because the sale of this scale usually takes 12 months.

Sister No was originally planning to fight hard, ignoring the government's sale deadline, but her willingness to take risks was not recognized by team executives, who believed that this might lead to the club's closure. So the team had to work rush, and working 20 hours a day became the norm.

in the book tells an incident before Abu announced the sale of the team. It is said that Abu was mediating between Russia and Ukraine at the time. When he returned to the apartment and ate something, he suddenly felt severe pain and lost consciousness. On the way to the hospital, Abu developed symptoms of skin and hair loss. When he woke up, he was completely blind, and his vision could not be restored to its original state. When the poisoning incident occurred, Chelsea was playing the FA Cup, and Abram suddenly issued a statement announcing the sale of the team. The draft for sale was promptly drafted by two Abu's assistants within 30 minutes. After landing in the UK, they set up a temporary office at Heathrow Airport, which included donating the proceeds of the team sold to victims of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Chelsea coaches and players received no prior notice, and they interrupted pre-match preparations in shock. Cech, who was an executive in the team at the time, had to speak in the locker room to stabilize the player's mentality.

Due to government restrictions, Chelsea only had 20,000 pounds of funding when traveling to away games, which is half the standard for Premier League teams away travel.

The then-Ukrainian President Zelensky allegedly urged the British government not to sanction Abu and explained how he acted as a middleman between Russia and Ukraine. The book also mentioned that the representative of Ukraine praised Abu for establishing a humanitarian corridor that saved the lives of thousands of civilians.
