Despite it being in his team’s colours, it’s doubtful Roman Abramovich will appreciate the sign put up at his London mansion yesterday. 

Pranksters installed a fake English Heritage blue plaque on a wall outside the billionaire’s Kensington home. 

The sign, pictured, was headed ‘Billionaire Putin crony’. And in reference to the property, a message at the base read: ‘It’s worth £150m but the government won’t seize it’. 

Campaign group Led By Donkeys posted a video of the stunt online, with the caption: ‘In France and Germany they’re seizing super-yachts. In London… nothing.’

The Russian Chelsea FC owner announced on Wednesday that he was looking to sell the Premier League club. 

The Government has faced criticism for not sanctioning Abramovich over the war in Ukraine. 

Meanwhile, former England captain John Terry was criticised for posting a photo of himself holding the Premier League trophy alongside Abramovich with the message: ‘Thank you Roman. The best owner in the WORLD.’

Labour MP Chris Bryant urged the ex-Chelsea defender to take down the post, saying: ‘The people of Ukraine are being bombed, shelled and murdered while you celebrate Abramovich.
