The fans will be fine, at least those that are just in it for the love of the club, we'll be fine, regardless of what happens. I'm pretty relaxed about things now after the initial shock of the breaking news subsided.
Roman Abramovich plans to sell Chelsea | SOLD for £4.25BN
- Thread starter Ali Dia
- Start date
Anyone know roughly how much cash reserves they have currently?
Not true. Saudi and UAE are buddies with UK. They invest in Britain and Britain sells them arms.
So CL and cup games behind closed doors?
ST holders can still attend games, surely? What's the point in barring them?
This. A cnutish shower.
Don't think that's true for the cups.
Season tickets don’t cover them? Don’t they just have priority when buying cup game tickets?
Does the Chelsea season ticket include CL games? I was under the impression its Prem only.
According to most recent accounts it’s 16m

Which apparently gives them 2 weeks!
So if only season ticket holders are allowed to go, how does that impact their match attendances? What % of people who go are season ticket holders?
About 30k.
Ah ok, not too bad then.

So if we're given the 2006 and 2010 Premier League titles due to Chelsea's financial irregularities has it been a decent season? 2007 and 2018 FA Cup as well. We'll have them.
Their fans don't deserve this.
Chelsea can't be buy
It’s almost like Chelsea made a deal with the devil 20 years ago…
Almost.
Almost.
Yes they do.
Apparently Three have stopped sponsoring Chelsea so they won't have a sponsor on their shirts for now.
But Arab owners are good guys right?
Ridiculous take
how many league titles or Champions League titles would they have celebrated without Roman?! 0
They’ve had their fun and their good times. They’ve had them for much longer than they deserved.
If this is party over, they cannot complain at all

At this rate they will be searching for cheap motels and hostels like rest of us
Exactly. We all hoped they'd fall apart when Abramovich left. Didn't see it happening quite like this, but I'll take it.
Wonder how long it will take all their fans to find their old West Ham and Fulham shirts.
Wow
The 3 news is massive
Seriously the club is in disarray right now

None of this is about morality.
I think quite a few sponsors will follow too. Nobody wants to be associated with Russia now due to terrible PR.
this. but are us billionairs much better?
So is 5th place looking like a guaranteed UCL spot now 
?
?they’re all bad, some worse (much worse) than others, but nothing new, allies turn blind eyes on each other. I actually feel bad for Chelsea fans, even though they most likely wouldn’t have won any of the trophies they did, still sucks for them.
After their performance at Burnley during a minutes silence, some of them do.
Yes.
Greedy businessman is better than murderous gangster or evil state.
I'm not sure how so many people seem to struggle with something so basic.
I feel sorry for the club, the employees, the fans and even the owner as he has no control on Putin either.
Could be a long wait….
Hotel, flight, and travel to/from airport will cost more than 20k for a full team squad plus staff.Tweet

Maybe they can sleep in the away dressing rooms to save money.
I do I had to listen to one at work today argue that because Chelsea signed Shevchenko it proves they have only ever tried to help Ukraine.
People are blinded by football and can't see past their loyality to a club.
Chelsea have been money laundering for years and it's obvious there is blood on the hands of them and their owners.
They would have achieved none of the things they did since Roman took over with the money that was pumped in.
If that money came in illegally then they deserve every punishment going
