Just because his name's not above the door, it doesn't mean he's not the one still writing the cheques.

If Barry Butlins had still been there he would have made the annoucement there.Apparanty he was a big fan of Rick Wright.

That's a For Sale sign being put up, but not at any price he is willing to wait for the right offer.

So he’s not giving the ownership away then? Just control? Pretty vague statement

He will bung a pile of money in and pull the strings via his own appointed members on the trust.
A clever move to create a perceived relinquishment of his ownership, but in reality is a temporary measure to avoid publicly scrutiny.
No Oligarchs exist without the continued permission of Putin, which makes the Tories defending the Russians they take money from, party with, appoint to the house of lords and give contracts to, pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

Sounds a really selfless gesture so fair play to him. Can't imagine it's got anything to do with the putin and Russia situation- definitely not.
Also no way this is just a late, cynical attempt at finding a loop hole to evade the sanctions coming his way either. Credit where it's due. 👍
Re: Abramovice hands over stewardship and Control of Chelsea to the Chelsea CharitableFoundation
To be fair to him, it looks like he's going to be involved in the peace negotiations at the request of the Ukrainians. Hopefully he has some influence with putin, at the very least he can hopefully pass on how badly the Russian actions are being recieved .

'Net' proceeds. Could be a massive difference. He could easily make a donation now.
