Roman Abramovich disqualified from owning Chelsea by Premier League
The new terms will allow the club to utilise payments due from broadcasting companies and any prize money earned to meet its outgoings.DCMS officials have lifted the £500,000 cap on match day costs to £900,000 per game, meeting Chelsea’s assessment of the real cost of staging them.
For now, though, the ban on the club selling seats in addition to the season tickets already sold has not been lifted, although that is also likely to be the subject of further discussion. A DCMS spokesman said: "We have said all along that we would engage with Chelsea to understand what is needed to allow upcoming games to be played to minimise the impact on the Leagues, football pyramid and fans.
Responding to the Prem decision, a DCMS spokesperson said: “We welcome the Premier League's action to disqualify Roman Abramovich as a Director of the football club.
