Chelsea trustees will insist on an impenetrable indemnity policy before agreeing to Roman Abramovich's plan to pass over stewardship of the club to its charitable foundation.
Blues owner Abramovich's proposal, which was announced on Saturday night, is in the balance with a number of trustees extremely apprehensive about accepting stewardship of the Stamford Bridge club.
And Sportsmail has learned that one of the main conditions the trustees will insist on is the inclusion of a robust indemnity insurance policy to ensure they are not liable for any financial ramifications the club may suffer while they are put in charge.
