How much cash do people think they have? Because it won't be very much, no club would have very much as you simply don't need it. Take away all income but keep the expense and I'd be amazed if they could even cover a months expenses

They are still getting paid the bulk of their income which comes from the PL and UEFA, Roman saw this happening 2 weeks ago so they will have been prepared.

Are they though? I thought money coming in was suspended, so even though they are technically getting payments they can't actually receive them? I could be wrong on that, but why would you sanction a business and still let it receive money?

Being reported funds not enough to cover match-day costs including security and medical requirements. If Chelsea can't fulfil fixtures then we lose 6 points and Liverpool lose 2.

My biggest worry but surely this can’t happen, they were already gifted a league title due to covid and VAR, horrible scouse cunts!

You know this how exactly? Prize money… if I’m not mistaken didn’t we loose to Chelsea last season in the champions league, they also won the FA cup. I don’t know the intricate details of the ins and outs of their cash flow so I can’t answer that question and nor can 99% of the people on here.
All I know is that it’s narrative click bait driven from a media outlet that we’ve all despised for a generation.
I feel it’s just a smoke screen for something else.
Their sponsors haven’t actually ripped up contracts have they…
Sometimes a bit of perspective needs to come into these things rather than everyone jumping on a media bandwagon.
If I’m wrong I’m wrong so what and Chelsea really will go down but I’m pretty sure that as soon as a suitable buyer comes in and proceeds go to the right place things will move slowly into motion again for them.

Not sure why you are talking about last season for it's this season we're talking about. No TV revenue will be coming in this month, no champions league revenue, no merchandise, come the end of the season no premier league revenue, we're talking £300 million plus of turnover gone. Do you think they have that cash just hanging around considering they lost £150m in the last financials? They'll have £100m tops and that is dwindling day by day. They won't last it's simple maths.

"All I know is that it’s narrative click bait driven from a media outlet that we’ve all despised for a generation." Really?
"I feel it’s just a smoke screen for something else." you sound like a conspiracy theorist to me

"Their sponsors haven’t actually ripped up contracts have they…"

"If I’m wrong I’m wrong" you are wrong

How many wars and invasions have the Yanks started and supported in their time and are still doing so? Not to mention our illegal invasion of Iraq based on a known lie. Let he who's without sin cast the first stone.

This is such a terrible false equivalence that I'm embarrassed that 6 people on the forum liked it. The US and UK actions are 100% completely and totally different from Putins invasion and you'd have to be some sort to compare the two

can't get a loan as that's potential going straight to Abramovich. They aren't allowed to generate any cash flow

So who is paying there wages then because I’ve read they have next to nought in cash in the bank also if Barclays have froze accounts I say again how are the players the staff and everyone who works for Chelsea getting paid?

The victors write the history. So you think the invasion of Iraq was justified and legal? Not for one minute am I using this analogy to justify what Putin and Russia are doing, but come on. I remember the headlines "Shock and awe" like it was some great thing that hundreds of cruise missiles were landing on Iraq, with all the death and destruction they brought. You're embarrassed?? I'm embarrassed you're embarrassed.

You already replied to me once mate, I don’t want a thread ban nor an argument. What is happening in Ukraine is very different to the wars you mentioned and poor of you if you don’t realise that

Me neither. It's not poor, or embarrassing as somebody else pointed out it's a different opinion.

The invasion of Iraq was based on poor intelligence (perhaps purposely so if youre conspiratorial) and deposed a ruthless dictator who murdered whole swathes of his people for decades. It was performed under the rules of engagement by an international coalition of countries who attempted to lessen civilian deaths where possible.

The invasion of Ukraine is a pathetic landgrab against a democratic European nation by an insane nuclear armed dictator who along with his friends has stolen hundreds of billions from his nation, imprisoned his political enemies and murdered people. He has several times agreed to a ceasefire/corridor and then shot the people attempting to escape, has annexed whole parts of the country and is currently under investigation for crimes against humanity.

To draw some moral comparison between these two incredibly different events is either spectacularly lazy ir spectacularly stupid.

If you read any of my posts I have not said anything that lunatic Putin is doing is justified. The sooner him and his cronies shed this mortal coil the better.

Here's one for you. There's not a lot of difference between Putin and good old Saddam really is there. Both are/were tyrants who imprison, torture and murder opponents. Hey Putin even sends agents to this and other countries to murder dissidents, often using highly dangerous nerve agents. He's been doing such heinous acts for decades. I don't see any good old coalition rushing to save his people though.Why not? Because he has the capacity to fight back. We can sugar coat our invasion of Iraq and try to ease our conscience with "We tried our best to lessen civilian deaths and we followed the rules of engagement" all we like. We're the good guys in all this after all aren't we? It was wrong and we justified our actions on a now proven lie.

What Putin is doing is horrendous. I doubt very much we'll see him standing in a dock at the Hague though.
