It's just been on the bbc news. Anyone interested in buying Chelsea can approach the govt.
Therefore, I guess, the govt. will decide a fair price and it could move quickly after that.
 
If, as reported, Nike decide to stop supplying the club with kit, can they force them to stop wearing it with immediate effect, or would they walk away in the summer?

In 2019 a UN report said the US, UK and France were complicit in committing war crimes in Yemen by selling weapons and providing support to the Saudi-led coalition which is using the deliberate starvation of civilians as a tactic of warfare. I don't disagree with you but reject any accusations of whataboutery. Any comparisons I was seeking to make concerned the broader issue of human rights abuses and the inconsistent treatment of football club owners.

Did it? Or was it HRW that said the US, UK and France may be complicit?

The UN report did say the Houthis were also committing pretty much the same war crimes. War is a fucking nightmare for everyone caught up in it, on any side. There is very little moral high ground.

It was, in fact, both bodies who made such claims. Otherwise, I couldn't agree more.

There are plenty of threads in off topic and politics about the war in Yemen yet your derailing this thread about Chelsea talking about that.

This thread is about Chelsea and what's happening to them now and possibly in the future. If you want to talk about politics and wars go to off topic

I was responding to a poster's specific request for the source of information supplied in support of a comment concerning the possibility that sanctions currently affecting Chelsea might be applied to other clubs in future as a consequence of their owners' association with similarly toxic regimes e.g. the Saudis. Context is everything as they say. I can assure you I have no intention of 'derailing this thread'.
