Haven’t they made the most losses this recent financial year?
Can’t lie… definitely wouldn’t be opposed to this.Just thinking long term, I wonder if Tuchel would be happy to manage Liverpool post Klopp. Say in two years time? Gives Gerrard more time to keep practicing elsewhere, or slip.
Very much doubt it.
What about the Rudiger and Christensen contract renewals now though?!
It's needs updating, it's old.What’s with the thread title?
Chelsea is for sale according to the owner! It’s fact
Yeah something tells me these large fees for unwanted players is going to cease…
Todd has been very shrewd with his part ownership of the Dodgers. He signs huge stars that the revenue of the club cannot afford. He uses his spending to gain a higher percentage ownership. I think he is up to 27% from 20% now from doing this. If he is on the ownership consortium, I doubt he changes his spots. Who knows? It will be a wild ride.
Something would have to give like the UK falling out with UAE. That'll never happen...
The Saudis are absolutely kicking themselves having tied themselves to another English club.
Christenson is off I believe. They could still tie down rudiger and they probably should as he suits their system down to a tee. Big loss if he leaves. Thiago Silva can only roll back the years so long.
No more 60m for finished players or flops like Costa and Morata.
With the money he wants what’s going on now though will Rudiger get what he wants? Will be interesting to see
Yes, but they’re only a force because they could operate like a club that could go $2 billion into debt with no worries. That won’t be the case anymore. Their structure is completely unsustainable now.
I’m not sure there’s much validity to your criticism. If you want to cosy up with the west to get richer then obviously there are rules to the game. The fact that you lose something if you don’t follow those rules doesn’t negate it’s value. If we’re talking about the oil rich Arab states they need to diversify because oil is declining in importance. They’re seeking to secure their own economic future. There is a bit of regional rivalry mixed in too. I don’t see the analogy to Russia here. ‘Sports-washing’ is a term used to describe a type of soft power play. The question is if we want it present in a realm of life we’d like to see as apolitical as possible.
He hasn’t been allowed to live in Britain for a number of years now, is rarely seen at Chelsea games and has never given an interview. I see him more as a ghost than an icon of Chelsea. Putin can have that affect on you I guess.
He’ll be fine and (very) rich.
Have a heart. He's giving it all to cheearady dontchaknow? How do you spell gully ball?
Exactly the transfers I was thinking of.
and in the meantime RA will have his wallet closed
From a selfish perspective I hope he leaves and they sink back in line with the rest of us financially. Let them dine at the same tables and we’ll see how much success they have.
in this economic environment i cannot seen him getting 3 bills
i can now see the decision to part with the likes of tomori and abraham on the premise they will buy buy buy coming back to bite them. Rudiger silva and christensen on their bikes, what will they do without a blank cheque for kounde or whoever?
The 2 named in public Wyss and Boehly are worth about 11 billion combined. Supposedly theres talk that another 3 or so are coming with them should it happen.
It might be. But Roman was a pretty good owner.
He doesn’t condemn the war in the statement nor does he state it’s going to the Ukrainian people. It’s deliberately ambiguous. I suspect he’s feeling the heat of Putin and the west circling on each side and decided he doesn’t want to be sipping polanioum tea.
Easier to access London markets and legitimise your dodgy money pouring out of Russia once you've dumped a billion quid into an institution based in the capital of the nation. Suddenly he's just a businessman, wanting to build a life in the city. Oh now he's bought several properties.
Still, he has been their owner for so long I just can't imagine another one's name attached to them.
Glorious
It is sports washing.
Probably buy Chelsea too
