Thomas Tuchel is a 'credit to the institution of Chelsea, its supporters, the Premier League and himself', hails Steve Parish as Crystal Palace chairman commends Blues boss for 'impeccably' handing their sanctioning by the UK Government

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has many supporters for the way he has handled the club's sanctioning by the UK Government and he's gained another in Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish.

Chelsea are still reeling from the UK Government's decision on Thursday due to their owner Roman Abramovich's close links with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Abramovich had been sanctioned on the back of his homeland Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Russian oligarchs have been targeted since the start of the war and Abramovich was a known ally of president Putin.
