He needs to hand over ownership, not stewardship. Is Marina Granovskaia still director? If so, this means zilch.

“All of Russia hates our fans […] because for them we are ‘hachi’, ‘churki’, we are from the Caucasus,” says Rustam Kalibatov, who runs the Moscow chapter of the Red-White Djigits. “This I cannot understand – the country that defeated fascism has more fascists than Germany.”

There was only one Russian team left in European club competition, so not a big problem there.
This should extend to clubs elsewhere owned by oligarchs. I’ve been singularly unimpressed by Chelsea’s response to the invasion. (The manager’s evasion during an interview yesterday, and the owner saying he was giving the club’s “stewardship” to the trustees, an essentially meaningless gesture.) Though the news today is that Ukraine has asked the owner to help with peace efforts:
If this is actually true then the earlier bullshit is forgiven. If it is more posturing by the club then it should be shut down.
