Will probably be afforded special consideration in some fashion as a community asset or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirodo Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Club shop closed as well. Probably won’t even be able to buy a pie and a pint at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2022 It's 19 years since he took over at Chelsea. The source of his money was known at the time, and for almost two decades, very few in a position to do anything about it even batted an eyelid. This country has welcomed Russian money and influence with open arms and only now wants to try and pull up the drawbridge. It's all too little, too late. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Talking about it on Talksport. They were saying it also means that he can't sell the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Assuming they dont have a DC special multi yr season ticket, I assume they will be playing in an empty stadium next season given no season ticket sales allowed. If RA cannot sell the club, his only choice is to give it away for free or it will surely go bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine something like that will happen and then a buyer will come in and take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Don’t really see how penalising British citizens from attending games makes sense tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, and I’m all for hammering RA but surely it’s possible to stop him using Chelsea for cash and fans who just want to go to a game being unaffected?

sheffield_dave Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The question posed of Chelsea and clubs like them was always what happens when that one man is no longer present or a factor. Where does the club stand then? Presumably we're about to find out.. or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't freeze some assets but not others. All those yachts have normal working class crew members working on them who will lose their jobs, too, you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie and a pint at Chelsea.....more like caviar and lobster washed down with Moët for the plastic Chelsea fans visiting from Dubai on a day trip...to watch the soccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 31Dec1966 Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2022 Chelsea's success has been bought with money stolen from the Russian people by a close friend of a brutal tyrant who has murdered his opponents, some in foreign countries, and has now launched an unprovoked invasion of a democratic country. And some Chelsea fans chant his name. Shame on them . 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Someone at the club will be opening a trainline account pretty soon to try and get some cheap travel tickets I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Don’t follow European footy much. Are Chelsea still in any competitions? Be hard to get the whole team to an away euro fixture for under 20k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
