EPL: Chelsea’s bank accounts frozen following Abramovich’s sanctions

Chelsea’s bank accounts have been frozen, after the UK government sanctioned owner Roman Abramovich, the UK Times reports.

The Blues have been given a special licence to continue with football related activities, but a proposed sale of the club has been put on hold.

The special license expires on May 31 2022, but HM Treasury may vary, revoke or suspend this license at any time.

However, the club’s bank accounts have now been frozen, leaving the club facing ‘financial paralysis’.

Despite the license allowing Chelsea’s day-to-day activities to continue, several of the club’s corporate accounts, including credit cards’ have been frozen.

This is due to banks being ‘risk-averse’.

A source said: “The licence allows the club to continue with day-to-day activities but the banks don’t have the risk appetite for it.

“They’ve frozen some of the corporate credit cards. It puts a lot more pressure on the club.”

But if you rule a country for 70 years, you’re never going to make everyone happy, and while she was certainly beloved by millions, she inspired her fair share of critics and detractors, too. That much is clear just by looking at the music inspired by the long-running ruler of the royal family. For every positive or neutral tune about the Queen (such as the Beatles’ quickie “Her Majesty,” where Paul McCartney sings, “Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl but she doesn’t have a lot to say”), there’s a sneering “God Save the Queen” from Sex Pistols or a hostile “The Queen Is Dead” by the Smiths (both all-time rock classics). Primal Scream’s “Insect Royalty” is, unsurprisingly, not terribly flattering; The Stone Roses’ “Elizabeth My Dear” may sound mor...

Pa Ayo Adebanjo, the Afenifere leader has criticized former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan for welcoming the idea that he should contest for the next president after President Muhammadu Buhari's administration. According to him, it is unfortunate that Goodluck Jonathan allowed himself to be disgraced by saying that he is considering and consulting whether to become President or not. Pa Ayo Adebanjo's words were, "The unfortunate thing is that President Goodluck Jonathan allowed himself to be disgraced by mentioning the fact that, 'I'm considering whether to be President'; for what? Whom are you consulting?"
