Sky flapping their hands at this and Richards is far from the best person to ask!

It seems pretty obvious to me that if signed paperwork states to a sufficiently acceptable legal degree it would remove the argument that day-to-day business involved Abramovich.

Chelsea will be fine i think, still owns the club albeit with limited role. Might as well be start changing his citizenship and cutting all of his russian ties at this point.

Oligarchs who have tried that in the past have wound up dead.

It’s a risky move.

I like Richards but he’s not too bright.

I’m not sure what he expects Abramovich to say.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

But he's only handing over stewardship of the club. He still owns the club and will probably green light transfers moves in a few months.

Yes, and things may be different in a few months.

A preemptive move seems sensible.

 

[LongsightM13]

One of the trustees. Awkward…

It's going to risky either way, staying russian and be in touch with his russian ties is not a good idea at all if he still want to able to do business in western world.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Means he can’t have his club taken off him.

Im sure he’ll make a couple of charitable donations during the summer transfer window.

To the Johnson Trust?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

To the Johnson Trust?

The Bellingham Foundation?

The West aren’t going to poison him to death. Putin would try.

 

[wolviedinho]

Looks like he has handed it over before his assets are frozen. He will be back once this war mongering is over.

 

[blueinsa]

Has to be that he has been given the nod his assets are about to be seized.

He’s one of Putins besties.
The Russian report fingered him as someone to be carefully watched.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

So the Russian hands over control of the club to a charity but will still pull the strings , just fuck off , take everything he owns in the UK and his football club , he's a Putin lapdog.

 

[waspish]

Wow, what does that mean for Chelsea?

Means Nowt but keep Chelsea out the spotlight once it all dies down he be back.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Ownership washing.

I mean if he completely fucked Putin off and turned his back on him, then Putin would likely come after him.

If the russki Hitler can theaten a country like Finland then Abramovich is easy game

 

[M18CTID]

I do wonder if he’s pissed off with Putin. Didn’t Abramovich’s daughter slag Putin off?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

I mean if he completely fucked Putin off and turned his back on him, then Putin would likely come after him.

Then he needs to show some moral backbone and face up to possible consequences like many others have done - Kasparov for one. Instead he chooses to be a drooling lap dog, whether out of fear or greed - both are unpalatable. His daughter has more balls than him.
