BRUCE Buck and Marina Granovskaia will each forfeit millions in bonus payments as a result of leaving Chelsea, according to SportsMail.
They were required to stay at Stamford Bridge after the takeover in order to receive the bulk of the £50 million compensation package agreed upon with the new owner, Todd Boehly, for their work on the sale.
Therefore, it won’t be reimbursed in full.
Millions in transaction fees from the new ownership will still go to Buck and Granovskaia.
However, many people were surprised by how quickly they left Chelsea this week.
During the sale process, Buck had made it clear he wanted to remain chairman, while Granovskaia offered to stay in her role running the football side of the business until the end of the transfer window in August.
Chelsea will appoint a new chief executive and sporting director, although Petr Cech could stay on in his role as technical and performance adviser.
