Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
I think it's only the profit, although how that is defined I'm not sure. In any event it's a lot more than most Russian billionaires will be contributing.

Really?? Games still go ahead, ST holders can still attend. Looking at allowing a sale to go through but not allow Abramovich access to these proceeds.

.Chelsea club shop must close, no more match tickets can be sold.
.No new player sales or purchases will be permitted under the licence, and discussions on new deals for players who are out of contract in the summer - such as men's team captain Cesar Azpilicueta - must go on hold
.Chelsea can pay "reasonable" costs of travel to and from fixtures but not exceeding £20,000 per game per team.

Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
Not sure where racism comes into it unless you mean why hasn't the govt sanctioned the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who own a football club in the EPL for their continual bombing of the Yemen and other human rights atrocities.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:06 am Doesn't affect any of you but it's the fans I feel sorry for.

Simple, the UK sells billions of dollars worth of arms to the KSA to continue their bombing.
Politics has well and truly reared its head into football. Interesting to see how FIFA deal with such meddling; deflect, ignore and hope it goes away.

Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
The reality once the EPL opened up to massive overseas investment and ownership was only a matter of time something like this happened. Let's be honest Chelsea (like many clubs) have flourished funded to the tune of 1.8b GBP by Abramovich, their fans have had a great journey while it lasted. But I do agree it punishes the Chelsea, but I wonder how many Chelsea fans thought about other clubs when Abramovich took over and went on massive spending sprees to win trophies.Raich Carter wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:18 amNot sure where racism comes into it unless you mean why hasn't the govt sanctioned the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who own a football club in the EPL for their continual bombing of the Yemen and other human rights atrocities.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:06 am Doesn't affect any of you but it's the fans I feel sorry for.

Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
Not sure how the true fans, not the recent plastics who support only success, deserve this. You could say that, by extension, Chelsea have benefitted from money originating from the Russian state assets bought at criminal prices by Roman, but that aside, I don't see how the club is in any way condoning or supporting the war.

Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
A World Cup in Qatar being a case in point. They claim it's to expand the global reach of football. To Qatar, are they taking the piss? This is a country where raped women are punished for sex outside marriage FFS and hundreds of virtual slaves die building the stadia, not only that, we have to shiraz about with our seasons because of their silly weather.

Re: Chelsea and Abramovich
Ive been a Chelsea fan forever it seems. From afar albeit, Abramovich has only given much to the club at his cost. Unlike maybe some of the other owners. Its a hobby for him. Punishing the Oligarchs like him is fine if it helps the Ukraine (and I hope it does) but don't punish the best club in the world. Abramovich has also sponsored many noble causes in his countries. Russia, Israel and Portugal.
