LONDON — Premier League Chelsea has moved into profit for the first time since billionaire Roman Abramovich bought the football club in 2003, reporting a small surplus after winning the Champions League in May.
Chelsea had a profit of £1.4 million ($2.2 million) in the financial year to end-June 2012, compared with a loss of £67.7 million a year earlier.
Abramovich has poured hundreds of millions of pounds into Chelsea, helping the club to win the English Premier League three times.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
