perhaps they will occasionally let Newcastle win to keep some pretence of a competition?
Not every dollar from Roman this is true but it is an undisputable fact that he has continued to supplement the club every season and even this year has covered the shortfall in the clubs accounts some months so that they can pay the wages. Chelsea do not currently have sufficient revenue streams to service their wage bill and expenses unaided and so a new owner willing to lose money is the only way you can continue to run as you have been. I doubt another owner is willing to lose a fortune funding a vanity project so it will likely be option 2 which is likely a few prize assets on high salaries shipped out this summer and a much more realistic transfer and salary budget moving forward. It does not have to be a negative as this is a moment the club was always going to have to face and better it happen off the back of recent trophies and with CL football next year. Prudent management could still keep Chelsea around the top 4 and progressing to a more healthy financial situation.
Different company. SRMG do however employ SMC.
Right so the club has been seized in full then. I thought his assets were just frozen but he technically had his final say.
Literally in the subsequent tweets he mentions a link to the state. It's a big fat no from me. It's too messy already. If they're connecting this media group with folks either within the state or close to the state at this stage already, it's pretty much a guarantee the Saudi state has their fingers all over this. Please stay away from my club.

It's not really been seized in that sense. It's still just a frozen asset, but Abramovich has allowed the government to oversee the sale via Raine Group.
And then to Putin eventually.
UK has perfected the art of leeching off of financial criminals from all around the world. Its quite impressive.
Russia isn’t getting a penny of this ffs
The fact that Chelsea fans tried to defend him
If the Fulham owners at the back end of the 19th century agreed to buy Stamford Bridge, Chelsea wouldn't even exist. They've had their chance to stop Chelsea becoming what it is today.

Didn't Roman have to bail you out in 2018 or was it 2019?
Ironically it was Henry Norris (who decided against Fulham playing at The Bridge), the guy who then went on to Arsenal where he allegedly brought promotion (literally).
Thats because Chelsea buy out Adidas sponsor and Conte got sacked had to pay him too i think. COVID years aside we were always within our means.
New evidence
Russians and Ukrainians both will get. Thats what i read. It's not about Russian soldiers but many Russians also in Ukraine and got dead in this war.
I would not be too sure of that. Your academy has been largely stuffed with players pinched from other clubs by offering bigger contracts and not really having to give a feck about paying compensation. If the money tap is turned off you won't have half as much talent in the pipeline as you have been used to.
Thats not true. Yes we were signed talented kids from others here and there like most clubs but most kids were play for us from u8 s u 13s. So I don't know from where you get this idea.
Well, they had a choice of two and chose granny and her cottage
I probably got the idea from the UEFA investigation that found you guilty of doing just that and banned you from conducting transfers for a year.
Complete and utter guff.
Tried? Past tense? Many are still doing it now!The fact that Chelsea fans tried to defend him
Matter of fact, they still chant his name. Cretins.
Because Man United are not for sale and the Glaziers wouldn't entertain selling at the price Chelsea will eventually go for.
Is that because the stock on the market are a different class than the Glazers'? I think I remember hearing that. Otherwise couldn't someone just do a hostile takeover a bit like the Glazers themselves did?
The Saudis? You're welcome to them. The middle eastern Manchester Derby kinda has a ring to it
That's about the transfer ban we got years ago. Have you linked the wrong thing?
The Chelsea fans aren’t being forced to stop. Just asked.
Just read that and was going to post. My Gran would have said there’s no smoke without fire.
