Chelsea Thread - 2021/22

[Ballymagash Blue]

Very unlikely teams will refuse to play any team in the premier league.

Unlikely at the moment. But if/when Ukrainian bodies start piling up on the streets of Kiev, if Zelenskyy is murdered, and the likes of Abramovich remain unsanctioned by governments, others will apply pressure.

They may well, doubt it will be premier league teams though.Even if Abramovich is sanctioned doebt it will change much in the short term regards Chelsea games.

 

[Jack Hackett]

If I were a Chelsea fan, I’d want shot of Abramovich after the events of this past week. I hope we see some action from the government targeting these oligarchs.

[Mancity1980]

Wow, what does that mean for Chelsea?

 

[urban genie]

But has he handed over all his shares and any interest in the background, or just who owns and runs it on paper.

Statememt is short and vague on the details

 

[Don Karleone]

I assume it's what @urban genie says below. Just who runs it on paper

 

[denislawsbackheel]

Stops the club being seized if it remained “his”.

 

[mat]

Hes done an Usmanov.

Shadow owner of his club.

 

[Mancity1980]

Stops the club being seized if it remained “his”.

Surely to ensure that he will have to hand over ownership?

 

[Vialli98]

I have no idea what that statement means.

 

[urban genie]

Means those considering reluctently wanting the scouser to win tomorrow can now refrain

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

I have no idea what that statement means.

Basically putting just enough distance between himself and the club that it or its assets cant be considered to be his.

Suspect it was too late for that - hence the announcement. But speculation currently

But he's only handing over stewardship of the club. He still owns the club and will probably green light transfers moves in a few months.

I'm sure, but I'd imagine he's got expensive legal bods making sure he's technically out of reach.

 

[Kamaro011]

Chelsea will be fine i think, still owns the club albeit with limited role. Might as well be start changing his citizenship and cutting all of his russian ties at this point.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I have no idea what that statement means.

Means he can’t have his club taken off him.

Im sure he’ll make a couple of charitable donations during the summer transfer window.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Who’s going to pay wages

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

He should be told to fuck off and have it taken off him.
