Chris Wilder: Middlesbrough boss has no sympathy for Chelsea
Wilder's Middlesbrough are seventh in the Championship going into their FA Cup tie against ChelseaMiddlesbrough manager Chris Wilder said he has no sympathy for Chelsea and their current financial situation.
The club's future was plunged into uncertainty when the UK government sanctioned Russian owner Roman Abramovich in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Stamford Bridge club is up for sale and can only operate under a special licence issued by the government.
"The club is not in jeopardy, is it?" said Wilder.
Speaking before his side's FA Cup quarter-final with the Blues on Saturday (17.15 GMT), he added: "It's not a situation like a Macclesfield or a Bury in the football pyramid."
