Former Chelsea star says the future of the club is in serious trouble

Former Chelsea football star and pundit Pat Nevin has stated that the club’s future is in serious trouble.

This comes as the UK government sanctioned the Blues because of their Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich.

Nevin, in his statement, said he couldn’t say for sure that everything will remain okay at Stamford Bridge.

He said on the BBC World Football podcast: “Once you start digging down into what this could do – yes they can play their games but will they even be able?

“It’s not hyperbole to say the future of the club is in serious danger.

“You are in different circumstances now. Sanctions can mean a few things and be updated by the government of the day. people who tell you they know exactly what will happen, don’t believe them, because they don’t know.

“I can’t say ‘everything will be ok’. There is a valuable asset there long term. It would be stupid for the government to drive it into administration or liquidation. That doesn’t make any sense.”
