This is quite important as any new owners will not do thisYes, 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.
He’s still failed to condemn the war though hasn’t he? The club has not said much either.Net proceeds could mean anything. If he sells for £100.00 above his debt of 1.5 billion to Chelsea the victims of the war would be just getting £100.00. Very good PR game from Roman and his advisors.
Actually the club did. We all stand with Ukraine.He’s still failed to condemn the war though hasn’t he? The club has not said much either.
Meh. It wasn’t the best.Actually the club did. We all stand with Ukraine.
I think that is comingIf the government had a spine and actually sanctioned him he probably wouldn't even be able to sell.
Bingo!All proceeds go to “victims of the war in Ukraine”. So presumably families of Russian casualties as well?
The “net proceeds” bit is interesting too. How does that work when you’re selling a club that owes 1.5 billion quid? He says he’s not interested in money owed but what does that do to the balance sheets when the club is sold? Bound to be some smoke and mirrors here.
Well so far he has tried to broker peace and promised what must be a significant amount of money to victims of the war. If that’s failure then you must adjust your life perspectiveHe’s still failed to condemn the war though hasn’t he? The club has not said much either.
That’s what I’m saying, the other poster was saying it wasn’t. Different style to how City do it but same thing.It is sports washing.
Putin has been known to freeze their assets, put them in jail or exile them at the drop of a hat. They have little power. So many Oligarchs got deposedA lot of pressure to run oligarchs out of developed countries and seize assets etc, also to remove reliance on their money and resources. They have power and so pressure/sanctions on them could impose pressure on Putin.
You're absolutely sure Abramovich does?Actually the club did. We all stand with Ukraine.
Hence his Ukraine PR move.Tweet

Is this what being wrong feels like? It is aa strange feeling.Guess it did mean something in hindsight!
In what sense?Saudi Arabia should have waited, Chelsea would have been a much better buy than Newcastle.
Dont see Chelsea being sold anytime soon. £3billion is alot of money especially when the markets are in such turmoil.

Seems to be the greatest owner a football club has had.
I have no idea why his people care about his opinion. It's so bizarre to me.Breaking.
Piers Morgan is still a complete tw@t
Yes; first telling trustees to handle the club, then selling net goes to "others". I wonder what information will come out over the next few daysNet proceeds could mean anything. If he sells for £100.00 above his debt of 1.5 billion to Chelsea the victims of the war would be just getting £100.00. Very good PR game from Roman and his advisors.
Will not ask is different to any obligation or direct ask..Seems to be the greatest owner a football club has had.
Probably to the Russian soldiers who are injured in the war or died after eating food past expiry date.Roman says "all net proceeds from the sale" will be donated to the victims of the war in Ukraine.
Go halfsies with Conor McGregorI want £100 for every "fall of the Roman Empire" headline I see in the next few days.
I might be able to buy the club.
Yeah but APART FROM the players, the coaches, the £1.4 billion loan he‘s writing off, the improvements of the stadium and the trophies….I want £100 for every "fall of the Roman Empire" headline I see in the next few days.

Brought peace??Yeah but apart from the players, the coaches, the £1.4 billion loan he‘s writing off, the improvements of the stadium and the trophies….
… what did Roman ever do for you?
