Your right-

The pitch was sold to the Chelsea Pitch Owners, to prevent Chelsea selling the stadium in the 80's/90's.

Abramovich merely owns the club. This is why Chelsea have had such problems trying to move away from Stamford Bridge- the CPO have to agree to sell up to Abramovich, or Chelsea can't be called Chelsea (name tied to pitch).
