We're gonna get onto quotes in a bit because there are some some great ones about Roman Abramovich. voice-verified

But you mentioned it a minute ago, 'cause we should obviously point out there's been plenty of controversy as well. voice-verified

We'll talk about Abramovich being forced to sell the club a little bit later on in this episode, but earlier this year Chelsea were also fined ten million pounds and given a suspended transfer ban following an investigation into seventy four alleged breaches of the English FA's regulation. voice-verified
