Is Chelsea F.C. about to run out of cash? The banks suspend credit
With the sudden exit of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, banks are nervous as to what the future holds for the famous club
Chelsea officials are in talks with the UK government to discuss how the club can continue to pay staff, operate Stamford Bridge on match days and ensure the club can be sold.
The UK government have given the green light for Chelsea to be sold as the sale process is set to resume despite Roman Abramovich being sanctioned.
However, there have not yet been any formal bids made to buy the club from Abramovich.
It remains to be seen as to who will be the next owner of the club following Abramovich but Chelsea will be keen to get a deal done swiftly.
UK gives sale go-ahead
Billionaires interested in buying Chelsea Football Club have been told to approach the UK government with potential takeover proposals.
Abramovich was one of seven Russians with close links to Vladimir Putin that the government added to the sanctions list in a move designed to dramatically increase pressure on the Kremlin.
Chris Philp, the digital and technology minister, says Abramovich will be prevented from selling the club but potential buyers could approach the government with proposals to buy the club as long as the Russian oligarch would not benefit from the deal.
“As the licence conditions are written today, the sale would not be allowed,” Philp told Sky News.
“However, if a buyer emerged it would be open to that buyer or to that football club to approach the government and ask for the conditions to be varied in a way that allows that sale to take place.
“To be clear, no proposal would be accepted which saw the proceeds from any sale ending in an unrestricted bank account owned by Abramovich. He can’t benefit from the proceeds of any sale.”

AI tax tool sparks market turmoil for financial firms
Major financial firms’ stocks fell sharply after an AI tax tool launch, raising investor fears of disruption in advisory services.
Major financial firms’ stocks fell sharply after an AI tax tool launch, raising investor fears of disruption in advisory services.
Shares of major financial services firms tumbled after the launch of a new AI-powered tax planning tool. LPL Financial dropped nearly 11%, while Charles Schwab and Raymond James Financial fell more than 9%, signalling investor concern over AI disrupting traditional advisory services.
Morgan Stanley also saw a 4% decline as fears grow that AI could replace some of the most profitable offerings of established firms. Earlier this year, the introduction of other AI models already caused turbulence in software stocks, suggesting this could be a broader trend affecting multiple sectors.
The iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers and Securities ETF was down 4% on Tuesday, reflecting the market-wide uncertainty surrounding AI adoption in finance. Investors are closely watching whether AI will complement or cannibalise the industry’s core services.
