You can't help feeling sorry for some of the players if this ends up with them stuck in limbo at a club that cannot invest or move on.
But then there's lukaku

Just your corrupt ownership's dealings coming home to roost finally. You had a good run but I hope they take all your trophies away from the club since this guy came into the club with his blood money.One normal day following Chelsea is all I ask. Just one.
It'll probably be moved to next year if required. Additionally, I am not sure RA would've been stupid enough to have left Chelsea without cash on hand. Them losing a CL place would impact the sale even further; let's be honest he probably knew this was coming which is why he went from trying to make it a charity to publicly selling.Top 4 back on?

Roman is not giving away Chelsea for free. This could drag on and on. All of a sudden the 3b is worth a lot to himSo, he can sell it, provided he doesn't receive any income from it? That seems in practice to amount to something very similar to "can't sell it".
In spite of your loyalty you can’t complain too much. Been obvious from day one how dodgy Abramovich was. This is nothing. Should have all your titles stripped tooOne normal day following Chelsea is all I ask. Just one.
Chelsea booking the Megabus to France as we speakTweet

Think it’s pretty much just over for chelsea on it’s birthday
It certainly could and in my opinion should happen.Won't happen.
Of course. You miss the point, which is that this is not the FA revamping its ownership rules, its the UKG sanctioning Russia. Chelsea is not affected because someone is making a moral judgment on football ownership, it's affected because it happens to be an asset belonging to a Russian oligarch who is considered to contribute to Putin's regime. Whatever issues there are with other owners, that simply has nothing to do with this.It's not bollocks. Many people have a right to question by the country bombing innocent people in Yemen have ties to the people taking over Newcastle.
If the UK government own it, it doesn't matter what he wants. They'll just hand the club over to the FA and they'll sell to the highest bidder. Ain't war a bitch?Roman is not giving away Chelsea for free. This could drag on and on. All of a sudden the 3b is worth a lot to him
I have found that quite a few people using the term ''whataboutism'' on redcafe don't understand what it actually is. Whataboutism is an attempt to justify or to make wrongdoing appear less serious by pointing at others who are also involved in wrongdoing, or to argue that the person accusing you is just as bad. Being in full agreement with the sanctions on russia while questioning why the same standards aren't being applied elsewhere isn't whataboutism.Bollocks. That's the essence of silly whataboutism, whether you ask to be forgiven for it or not. There are sanctions on Russia which doesn't become invalid because of every other problem in the world that hasn't been solved.
Trust me. I'm last the person to engage in any kind of defence for Abramovich but it is still my football club.In spite of your loyalty you can’t complain too much. Been obvious from day one how dodgy Abramovich was. This is nothing. Should have all your titles stripped too
The license issued to them for continuing operations under this status is rather.. damaging. And as mentioned above could restrict them from travelling for Europe. There's also the inability to do transfers and renew contracts. Eventually someone will take over but during that time they could end up with quite a few issues and there's obviously a huge factor of who actually comes in. Roman throughout their time did a whole lot as an owner compared to most others. They could get bought by a bunch of bankers who come in as investors and rip all the profits away.the government has no interest in damaging Chelsea football club, obviously
they'll be sold to the highest bidder within a few months
That'll be Nick Candy. Mark my words, he'll try and move Chelsea to Earl's Court on a long term lease (as the council need an anchor tenent to get the project off the ground) and he will try and redevelop the SB site.Exclusive: Chelsea CAN still be sold by Roman Abramovich provided none of the proceeds benefit the Russian oligarch, a government source has told
@iPaperSport
. Government will consider an application for a licence to sell. In dialogue with #CFC.

The assets are frozen, not seized?If the UK government own it, it doesn't matter what he wants. They'll just hand the club over to the FA and they'll sell to the highest bidder. Ain't war a bitch?
Nope, my local club has (Bournemouth).Is Chelsea the only English sports club with a Russian owner?
It clearly won’t, the issues with the ownership don’t extend to questions over the legitimacy of their sporting successes.It certainly could and in my opinion should happen.
Provided Abramovich hands over the process.So the process can continue with the same interested parties. Cool.
For now, depends how dire the situation gets and how hungry the Gov are to get their hands on some ill-gotten-gainsThe assets are frozen, not seized?
He's a Chelsea fan. Got a ST I think. So we could go from being temporarily run by a charity to being a fan owned club?That'll be Nick Candy. Mark my words, he'll try and move Chelsea to Earl's Court on a long term lease (as the council need an anchor tenent to get the project off the ground) and he will try and redevelop the SB site.
Everton have/had Russian backingIs Chelsea the only English sports club with a Russian owner?
Does he have a choice?Provided Abramovich hands over the process.
Not gonna happenThese government sanctions are a good thing. Although, I suspect chelsea will be sold and be ok.
But the government should be doing a root and branch review of all the PL owners and come up with a proper fit and person test! Not the pathetic one that the PL have in place, currently
Yeah I understand that. As a fan of the club it must be a horrid situation to be in but I'm 100% sure Chelsea will bounce back (even though I dont want them to)Trust me. I'm last the person to engage in any kind of defence for Abramovich but it is still my football club.
Cry me a river. How many other clubs have paid a price for shitty owners running them into the ground, and then the club getting point deductions which lead them to relegation?So the club gets sanctioned, then further punished because the club couldn't survive the sanctions? Seems fair.
No one here will disagree but this isn't the place for it. Have it out In the Newcastle threadForgive my Whataboutism.
The Uk government takes action on this, but let the mass murderers take over Newcastle. If you're going to make a stand against something then make a stand.
Applying pressure on Putin.Genuine question - how's this sanctioning going to help improve the war situation? Just because the owner is Russian, how can he help to improve the situation at Ukraine?
I mean we talk about the innocent people being caught in between the war and countries. But that involves Russian people as well.
well, fingers crossed eh! hopefully someone comes in and fecks them upThe license issued to them for continuing operations under this status is rather.. damaging.

That doesn't make sense. There isn't a stadium in Earls Court to play in. He'd have to build a stadium to move the club into temporarily to then redevelop a stadium. Sounds barmy.That'll be Nick Candy. Mark my words, he'll try and move Chelsea to Earl's Court on a long term lease (as the council need an anchor tenent to get the project off the ground) and he will try and redevelop the SB site.
