The book promises: "Through unprecedented access to Abramovich himself and key figures from Chelsea's new ownership, as well as further interviews with a star-studded footballing cast... Sanctioned chronicles ninety-five extraordinary days in English football." 10 Roman Abramovich's sale of Chelsea is the subject of an explosive new book Credit: AP 10 The new book delves into one of the most controversial sporting transactions of all time Queen's For the first time in 52 years, the Queen's Club Championships will feature a women's competition - and it promises to be a belter.
