Chelsea's next owner won't want to follow the Roman Abramovich model, says Jamie Carragher

Jamie Carragher has suggested that Chelsea's next owner will not want to follow the example set by Roman Abramovich.

The Russian confirmed on Wednesday that he would be selling the Blues 'in the best interest of the club, the fans, the employees, as well as the club's sponsors and partners'.

Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss has said he has been offered the chance to buy Chelsea, with Abramovich reportedly keen to sell quickly due to the threat of sanctions following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Roman Abramovich has put Chelsea up for sale after nearly two decades as owner of the Blues

Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher proposed that any potential buyer would struggle to run Chelsea like Abramovich has done since he took over the club in 2003.
