Reaction to the news that Roman Abramovich is selling Chelsea after 19 trophy-laden years. What does his departure mean for the London club, English football and its relationship with overseas money? The Russian billionaire's decision follows the threat of possible sanctions in the wake of his country's invasion of Ukraine. The 55-year-old is alleged to have ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, which he has always denied. He also denies doing anything to warrant sanctions.We also reflect on a week in which the war in Ukraine saw Russia increasingly isolated as a sporting nation.Panel: Delyth Lloyd, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Barney RonayProducer: Sam Sheringham
