Surely he means victims of the special operation in Ukraine.

He means the thousands (sorry big cough....498 dead) of Russian troop/victims!!

Wonder if Mike Ashley is currently counting his pennies.

That's a bloody big piggy bank he'll need!

About being very rich then suddenly having no assets to call upon, losing Putin's backing, Putin put him where he is/was and can take it all away if he Is ousted from power, seems like Roman is gathering up some quick run and hide money from easily sold assets, and hope he can ride out what might be coming his way .

It was Yegor Gaidar, Yeltsin’s Finance Minister who put the green light up for Abramovic’s profiteering off the Russian State at the tail end of the Yeltsin era (along with all the other Oligarcs) -Putin railed many of them in (to popular acclaim amongst the Russian masses) -a cowering Abramovic escaped this putsch and has basically kept his head down ever since and nodded on cue to Uncle Vlad ever since

Could use one of his mugs too, I suppose.

Does this mean they’ll go back to being shit then?

Yeah, I've got one of them lying around somewhere. Couldn't he have made them any bigger?

Not without reinforcing the handle, I suspect.

You just know it be another yank owner

Surely FFP would be interested in that kind of thing? Being funded by their owner? Nope? Nothing to see here …

There's probably going to be a clause in FFP2.0: "Clubs with American owners shall be treated special and exempt from all scrutiny".

If they get an American owner, there will only be Spurs and City without one in the big 6.

The Athletic just last month said Tottenham as a club "is now more for sale ‘than they have ever been’ in the past". American businessman Todd Boehly led a group that came closest to buying the club for approximately £2.3 billion in recent years. Advanced negotiations but no deal was finalised.

I'm sure the anti-city bias will ramp up even more if things go that way.

Depends on who buys them.

In the current times I hope the team don't collapse allowing the scum to get a CL place as they tumble out of them.
