Poor players who get to keep playing, coaches who get to keep coaching and supporters who get to keep watching (rumoured to be a way they can buy away tickets from the home teams)?
Really? Players who are getting disturbed by all of this and will be impacted later on the season if these sanctions continue, these players will be trapped as there are no transfer deals to be done, there are no ticket sales ANYMORE only the season ticket holders will be able to watch/support their team. There are news already of the club letting go of staff, my mate's cousin works there and basically everyone have just been informed with the sanctions when it was publicly announced and now there are plans that if Abramovich refuses to write off/walk off the entire sale deal the club will be in administration meaning everyone working there players, coaches and others will be impacted.
The club's banks' accounts are frozen as of today they can't even get fuel for their buses. If these licenses were to continue to take place everyone working there is fecked and I just don't see what benefit does this bring to stopping the dumb midget from continuing his invasion. Have some consideration for normal people who have nothing to do with this shite and are just getting scapegoated by the dumb Tory government who are using this as a point scoring scheme to wow the public when they continue to fail actual Ukrainian people.
I do hope that if the sale was to go through and Roman agrees not to take a penny out of it and save his club...I do hope the greedy tories really give the profit to Ukrainians in need because by past examples this was not always the case.
This, very disappointing to see something as serious as war being used to score points with football supporters.
Agreed mate it has become ridiculous at this point. The same government that allowed the Saudis and Emiratis to buy and operate clubs in their country despite their war crimes against Yemeni people. The same government that supplies these countries with weapons by the way. The same tory party that was backed by Russian money. The same government who have yet to accept visas by Ukrainians fleeing their country and making application processes tougher than ever.The same government that continues to buy Russian gas.
While we are it where was this energy given to owners of of our club then? The same glazers who backed/supported Bush's invasion of Iraq, FSG and his support for Trump, Bournmouth and Everton's owners and as I mentioned before man city and newcastle owners.
