*Britain’s richest man 'offers to buy'*
*Chelsea from Roman Abramovich for*
*£2BILLION after May's visa snub to*
*Russian oligarch amid tensions with Putin*

The country’s richest man has approached Roman Abramovich to
discuss buying Chelsea Football Club after the Russian
billionaire’s future in Britain was thrown into doubt. Jim Ratcliffe, 65, boss of petrochemicals giant Ineos, who is
knighted today in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to
business and investment, is understood to have offered about
£2billion for the club.
It comes as Mr Abramovich, 51, struggles to renew his UK visa in
the wake of Theresa May ’s crackdown on rich Russians living in
Britain after the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia
in Salisbury. The Chelsea boss was reportedly incensed at not being allowed to
watch his club play in this year’s FA Cup Final on May 19 and
within days he applied for and was granted Israeli citizenship.
Downing Street has made it clear that he cannot work in Britain
on his Israeli passport, although he can visit for up to six months
at a time.
Mr Ratcliffe topped this year’s Sunday Times Rich List with an
estimated wealth of £21billion. Ineos’s annual turnover is about
£45billion and it employs more than 18,500 people in 22
countries.
 
*The Carabao Cup changes that*
*will affect Arsenal, Chelsea,*
*Spurs and West Ham next*
*season*

The EFL have announced a number of changes to the Carabao
Cup ahead of the upcoming season.
Following its 2018 summer conference, EFL clubs have voted on a
number of rule changes in the competition, including the removal
of extra-time.
Games in the competition that were level at 90 minutes were
followed by a period of 30 minutes of extra-time, with penalties
then deciding the winner if the score remained level.
However, games level at full-time next season will go straight to
penalties to determine the winner.
As well as the removal of extra-time, the EFL announced that a
penalty shootout format would revert to the traditional
alternative kicks, rather than the ABBA format which was used in
the competition last season. The EFL have announced a number of changes to the Carabao

As well as the removal of extra-time, the EFL announced that a

the competition last season. Although it won't affect the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs
who will be in European action, there will no longer be seeded
teams for the first two rounds of the competition, although the
first round will remain split into North and South sections.
VAR will also be used in the competition at all games played at
Premier League stadiums. On the removal of extra-time from the competition, the EFL said :
"The rationale put forward by the EFL is that withdrawing the
additional 30 minutes of play would directly address any
additional fatigue issues that are occasionally caused when the
midweek ties go beyond the traditional 90-minute period. "A statistical analysis was presented that demonstrated how
almost 85% of matches ended in normal time over a three-year
period, without the additional period being required and as a
result clubs have supported the new approach."
The first round of the competition will take place the week
commencing August 13.

Luiz: ''I was always so happy at Chelsea. Football is about cycles. I had a chance to go to Paris Saint Germain. A fantastic project where I was happy, too. [American Chelsea fans on the show]

But then I had a chance to come back and I won the Premier League in my first year and I thought 'very well'. Everybody knows how much I love this club and city.''
 
Luiz:''In football and in life in general, you have to set goals to achieve them. But you also have to enjoy the process, to live every day. [American Chelsea fans on the show]

If you set a target to be up there in 10 years and you work and work for it and then you achieve it but realise that you did not enjoy it...I'm a lucky guy, God blessed me a lot.''
