It's a convenient work round. Britain plc keeps the PL cash cow going and Abramovich watches his foreign assets from afar in case he becomes non grata in Russia or the sanctions end.Doesn't really mean anything in actuality. He still owns the club
More him taking a, temporary, step away in the hope the brown stuff being lashed in Chelsea's direction as a result of his ownership lessens.So.. this Ukraine/Russia thing isn’t going to be over soon is it? He knows.
