What is uncomfortable from a City point of view is our involvement with CMC & President Xi Jinping who is clearly backing Putin.

Unlike City/CFG and our ownership structure, where we don’t owe anything to any of our owners and we essentially own ourselves anyway; Chelsea are in debt to Abramovic to the tune of £1.514bn. It’s the biggest debt of any club in football, miles higher than Liverpool’s (£386m) and United’s (£420m), and even dwarfs Tottenham’s (£706m)… it’s a larger debt than Madrid’s (£770m) and even Barça’s (£1.2bn).

Where that leaves Chelsea in terms of Abramovic having his assets frozen/seized, I’m not sure. Nor where it leaves them if he has to sell the club. Nor where it leaves them if Abramovic loses his money like so many Russians have since their stock market crashed yesterday (Gennady Timchenko lost £5bn overnight). Nor where it leaves them long term anyway if Abramovic finds a way to get around this or Russia pull out and things go back to normal.

Chelsea loan is interest free unlike the others.

Long term, in a settled world, that is a good thing compared to the others.

But if Abramovic demands Chelsea pay off their debt to him as we freeze his assets, where does that leave Chelsea? I think they’d be proper fucked!

They’ll get a buyer they’ll be queuing up to buy them.

Chelsea is among his assets. Surely they can't freeze his assets without also freezing Chelsea?

While i'm indifferent about Chelsea, a Chelsea in trouble means the rags and dippers have higher chance for staying in the top which is worst scenario for me.

If they die, they die, but not before pumping the mickeys this weekend at Wembley in the cardboard cup (on loan from us)

Poland refusing to play Russia in WC qual. Only a matter of time before someone refuses to play Chelsea.

Have the rags still got to play them?

Wouldn't surprise me if it meant their final game of the season they'd know what to do to finish 4th....

Are all the other cultural and sporting boycotts silly? Given RA’s closeness to Putin, no way are Chelsea going to remain unaffected.

No of course all cultural and sporting boycotts aren't silly, but they have to make sense. I suppose considering UAE human rights record and the US murderous foreign policy, I should expect teams to refuse to play City and United very soon. Sounds silly too but since we're there.

Chelsea may not remain unaffected, but any impact will by way of sanctions, not teams refusing to play a London based team because the owner is Russian.

Not because the owner is Russian. Because the owner is Roman Abramovich.
