Chelsea are currently going through a rough patch. Sanctions have been placed on Roman Abramovich, their owner for his reported ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the wake of the Ukraine invasion.
Former Blues defender Jason Cundy has said that it has been an emotional week for him and for every supporter of the club. He said, “It’s been an incredibly emotional week for me and Chelsea fans. It’s been a tough week to try and comprehend what’s been going on at this football club. Boy and man I’ve been supporting Chelsea since I can remember, it’s my club.”
He continued, “I’ve been coming here since 1976, the first game I came to, and I’ve come back here in many different hats whether it be a player, an academy player, academy coach, media, Chelsea TV, talkSPORT and I still come back here.
“Every time I walked through the entrance to Chelsea, it still gives me that same buzz that it did back in 1976. It’s my club; it’s my family. Only football people will know what it feels like to love a club the way you do.”
He added:
“It is family; it’s your home; it’s my second home. I could tell you every part of this ground; I could walk you by every box, every office, every part of the ground. I’ve been here since 1976 and what’s happened this week has been shuddering, it’s worrying.”
“The sale of the club is key. Ensuring that Roman doesn’t get any of the proceeds.”
“You’ve got to be worried about the future of everyone. The 1000s of employees.”

“My boys support Chelsea, I’ve been speaking to them… honestly, it’s worrying and I’m getting emotional…I can’t tell you how much this club means to me. It means the world to me, it means everything. I love this club with everything I’ve got.” he concluded.
