FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Chelsea put under pressure as three release statement over displaying logo - Caught on Camera

Chelsea have been put under pressure by Three to remove the telecommunications company's logo from their club shirts.

The Blues are now operating under a special license - severely limiting their revenue streams - and shirt sponsors Three have suspended their partnership, worth £40million per annum. However, the logos have yet to be removed from the club's shirts.

The West London club are desperate to secure a new owner amid a budget crisis, with their funds dictated by the British government in the wake of the sanctions imposed on Blues owner Roman Abramovich. The billionaire has had his assets frozen in the UK in the wake of Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, although he continues to deny any links to president Vladimir Putin. The EU have subsequently imposed further sanctions on the oligarch.
