Looks like Abramovich is trying to renege on his promise to write off the £1.6bn debt.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that as he can't forgive the debt without the club getting fucked either.


I think Chelsea journalists are suggesting the £1.5Bn debt gets paid back to an Abramovich corporation which would then have its assets seized, so he'd not get any money but Chelsea also didn't have their debt forgiven.

From the Telegraph

What will happen if a deal is now delayed by May 31?​

This is the potential disaster scenario for Chelsea. The licence to continue operating under exceptions to Abramovich’s blanket sanctions expire just eight days before the Premier League meets to agree on sign off on its clubs for season 2022-23. Whitehall sources say there is a genuine “existential threat” for the club if a deal fails to complete by May 31.
Don't see the government blinking on this. Nor do I see the Treasury somehow taking control of a football club with taxpayers money at risk. Nor do I see Abramovich/Putin backing down on this.

Not sure where this ends. At the moment they are not a 'going concern' as an accountant would put it.

He is playing them! He should have no say.
Bollocks. Chelsea have overspent for nearly two decades and managed to pile up £1.5bn of debt. How is it right that the club can miraculously walk away from the debt without issue?

Anyway, seems this new obstacle is rather huge and untimely for the chavs.

Fucking hell. Client journalism, bought and paid for, laid bare

I don't understand why long-term debt from the owner with no repayment date wasn't treated as an equity injection in the first place for these sustainability rules.

Seems like quite a loophole in the rules, imo. Actually, no. Not a loophole. Just a stupid mistake. QPR were fucked by it, apparently, and now Chelsea may be.
 
How many American owners are in the premier it must be near the 14 they need to vote for what ever they want.
At least they have all signed up to the no super league rules. With the gov involved in the reforms promised, the yanks will find it difficult to manipulate the rules.

There is no power to seize assets. Under current legislation, they can be frozen, not seized.
 
Roman is a Ruthless **** so it wouldn't surprise me if he does let them go to the wall if he doesn't get his cash back.
