Pughies Jockstrap Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just seen that Abramovich has announced he is to sell Chelsea. I accept that he is not the only one but I cant help feeling that if and when he does football will be that little bit cleaner without him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Clean and football don't belong in the same sentence unless clean has 'un' infront of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but it could be another Glazers deal where the debt from buying the club goes against the club... I would not have thought its the best of times to be selling a football club at the moment.. I mean the one thing its going for Chelsea is the location.. The land on the ground alone must be worth a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo89 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just said on sky sports that all the net proceeds from the sale will go to Ukrainians who need help from the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-owls Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 One thing he can’t sell though is the pitch. Very few people will be aware that if Chelsea were to ever move to a new stadium they wouldn’t be able to use the name of Chelsea Football Club, unless 75% of the Chelsea Pitch Owners Association votes in favour.

A47Owl Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hes willing to write off loans of £1.1bn. How can that be right. Surely that means everything at Chelsea has been bought for nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he never expected to see those loans paid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the money would go to victims of the war and given the company the guy keeps, I’m not sure that means Ukrainians will be getting it. The government should just take the club off him and sell it on his behalf. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue he's a victim of the war himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gob_Bluth Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I reckon he'll "sell" it to one of his non Russian mates, then when all this blows over he'll "buy" it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
