FORMER Chelsea chief Marina Granovskaia was back at Stamford Bridge – this time amongst the fans.
Granovskaia – who spent over ten years at the club – joined supporters to watch the Blues’ 2-1 win over Newcastle.
But the Russian-Canadian businesswoman might not have been tall enough to catch Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer’s goals.
She wrote on Instagram: “First time in with the supporters at Stamford Bridge and, no, I was not tall enough to see the goals!
“But wonderful to be back to witness such a great performance and important win!”
Granovskaia started working for Chelsea under ex-owner Roman Abramovich in 2010 on transfer and business dealings.

By 2014, she was chief executive of the West London club and had a huge part in negotiating transfers.
But Granovskaia left alongside Abramovich in 2022 when it was brought by American billionaire Todd Boehly.
Her return to Stamford Bridge was a huge hit with fans as her comment section was filled with praise.
One said: “The queen is back.”
