Chelsea Thread - 2021/22

[Alan Harper's Tash]

My biggest worry is that this could end up with a way for the 5th place club to get access to the champions league next season.

Wolves will have deserved it.

The allegations/statement is utterly damning.

In terms of Chelsea it makes a sale that more complicated. Sponsors will cancel?

 

[denislawsbackheel]

is it not possible some rich billionaire will just step in and all goes back to normal for them ?

No, The sale cannot continue.
What’s the point of sanctions if it excludes Abramovich’s laundered £2 billion getting pocketed.

The problem is they could get it on the cheap with no debts to service, how would other teams feel about that?

Nice. for how long ?

If this goes fire sale you can imagine American hedge funds being all over it.

In the week or so this was being mooted I'm sure Abramovich has squirreled as much of his money somewhere safe.

ultimate glory hunter ? or another reason...

I used to like posing "darn the King's Road" back at the start of the 21st century!!!

With Ken Bates as its figurehead.

Not the proceeds of a sale he hasn’t.

I think the government are looking at a way of allowing a sale, but preventing the proceeds going to Abramhovich. I presume the proceeds would go into a frozen account.

Would that mean Abramovich would have to “Let it go”?

If sponsors etc. don’t wait it out and assuming the sanctions go on until the war is over, Chelsea are fucked.

Putin won’t be arsed about a football club being worn down to the ground.

Can they even sell players? That’d generate income wouldn’t it..? Players are stuck there until their contracts are finished. If they can sell players - Kante and Reece James wouldn’t go amiss.

Edit: just seen he can still sell the club if overseen by the government…

Their biggest problem is Boris starting up front at the weekend

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Wonder if they'll be singing his name tonight?

I spluttered my tea all over my jumper…now I have to get changed and more washing to be done. Please send me a warning in future. Yours sincerely, Blue from Eccles! :-)

No, as it stands they cannot buy or sell players, they can't even renew current player contracts!

We will soon see how self sufficient they were.

Not as heavy as a Russian bomb on a new born babies head.

Yes, but Chelsea haven’t done that. That’s the same mindset as Deloony et al.
