Not sure mate but isn't he one of Putins big backers

Yes, I think so.

 

[Len Rum]

Wonder if any sanctions will effect Chelsea being Russian owned?

Interesting.
Very interesting.
Might take the heat off us.
Every cloud and all that.

C.L. final cannot go ahead in S.P. surely?
Oligarchs and their money need to be sanctioned and that includes Abramovic who let's face it pretty much recruited Putin for the job.

I looked where Lille were in Ligue 1: 11th!. But they are French champions. The team of Hatem Ben Arfa, Burak Yilmaz, Jose Fonte (ex Southampton). They are all well into their 30s so probably wont play.

Chelsea 4-0 Lille. But you never know in football.

UEFA/Gazprom

It will happen and it'll be a propaganda wankfest.

Even moreso if we win it.

If Boris said it surely it's true, duck incoming flying pig

Chelsea are fucked IF as they have said in parliament just now they are after Abramovic

Yes it could be a huge problem if Abramovic is included in sanctions which would stop him from having any dealings with any UK entities. How do Chelsea carry on as they are without his financial clout ? What about his loan money in the club ? He certainly wouldn't be able to put any more in, nor get any of it out.
No doubt there will be a few Chelsea supporters in high places who will find a way around it. The odd brown manilla envelope across the Cabinet table should do it.
