Looks like Abramovich is trying to renege on his promise to write off the £1.6bn debt.
He is playing them! He should have no say.
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.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.
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?He is playing them! He should have no say.
That fake loan should fail them FFP and relegate the cunts to league 2. Amazed nobody has even considered the ffp implications

Anyway, seems this new obstacle is rather huge and untimely for the chavs.
I think it's a bit more complicated than that as he can't forgive the debt without the club getting fucked either.

Clubs question if Abramovich can write off debt without breaking rules
Some Premier League clubs want the issue investigated, which could ultimately lead to a points deduction or the debt having to be repaid, complicating an already-complex transaction.www.dailymail.co.uk
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.
That was SkySurely due diligence will disqualify him after his bicycle team was riddled with drug cheats for years.
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.How many American owners are in the premier it must be near the 14 they need to vote for what ever they want.
There is no power to seize assets. Under current legislation, they can be frozen, not seized.I think it's a bit more complicated than that as he can't forgive the debt without the club getting fucked either.

They both need to finish 4th and 5th as can see Gill trying to get Rags into CL if they finish 5th and Chelsea kicked outOne thing for certain the rags spurs and Arsenal will be happy if Chelsea get fucked.
