LONDON : Chelsea fans arriving on Sunday for the Blues' first home match under government control said they were worried that an era of glittering success might be over after owner Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich was hit with an asset freeze last week.
"I don't think we'll ever have a better owner because he genuinely loved Chelsea. My fear is we get an asset stripper, people who know nothing of football and that emotional commitment who brings us down." The team can continue playing games and pay players and staff but cannot buy or sell players, a major problem for the club as they seek to remain a major force in the game.
"But the amount of good Roman has done, not only for the club but also for the area," you have different feelings."He said the asset freeze decision raised difficult questions for the sport and he pointed to the Saudi Arabia-backed consortium of Newcastle United, Chelsea's opponents on Sunday, which includes the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund.
