Chelsea’s Abramovich denies interest in troubled Jordan

THE Russian billionaire who owns Chelsea football club has denied he is taking over the Jordan Grand Prix team.

Roman Abramovich, who was linked at the weekend with a takeover of Eddie Jordan’s Irish grand prix team, said there is no truth in the story that he wants to buy the 51% of the team held by Mr Jordan.

“At the moment Roman is being linked with bids to buy anything from a shopping centre to another football team,” his spokesman John Mann said.
