'It's the end of Chelsea as we know it': Stunned supporters fear the worst after owner Roman Abramovich is sanctioned - with the sale of the club on hold, a transfer ban imposed and fans unable to buy tickets or merchandise!

Chelsea fans have been left stunned by the news that owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned, leaving the Blues in limbo with club activities now severely limited.

On Thursday the club were banned from selling match tickets and were even forced to close their club shop as Russian owner Abramovich was added to the UK's sanctions list following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In addition Abramovich will not be allowed to sell the west London side and measures have been put in place to ensure he cannot profit from its activities.
