He also hasn't been coming to London for games for a much longer period than this Ukraine conflict has been occurring due to animosity between himself and the government.
I don't suspect his life will be as different as you think.
Anyways, fair play to him for donating the proceeds to charity.
And as a supporter, the fact that he's essentially forgiving all of his personal loans to the club is huge. Means a lot for our competitiveness going forward.
Due to Roman's investment, we've won everything there is to win in football. We have one of, if not the best academy in England. We've got one of the best managers in football. Everything is gonna be alright. Hopefully the next owner gives at least half as many ****s as Roman did.

Yeah, this is about as best-case scenario as the club could hope for.
Excellent. From a pure sporting perspective I like Abramovich. Its hard to understand all the other garbage hes probably been involved with and separate that out and know much about it all.
My prediction is Chelsea is going to get hit with some kind of BS FFP violation out of this for not having to oay back loans or some bs.

I would think whoever buys the club will probably have to buy that debt from RA as well.

Yeah I highly doubt there are any FFP consequences.jeffk said:JJxvi said:

Tax consequences are more likely. Definitely would qualify as cancellation of debt income. But you don't do transactions of this nature without having an army of lawyers who are very good about structuring those transactions and minimizing the tax burden. So frankly I doubt that really puts a dent into anything from that perspective either.
Even without exploiting the system, if Roman cancels the debt, you can just raise the purchase price by the associated tax burden. That's still a heck of a deal in comparison to purchasing the debt outright.
Well *****
This is going to be an interesting ride.

Been doing some reading today and I've seen 3 names specifically that keep coming up in most of the articles.
Jim Ratcliffe, 69, at one point the richest man in the UK.
Hansjorg Wyss, 86, the richest man in Switzerland.
Todd Boehly, 46, American with ownership interests in the Lakers and Dodgers.
I also read that Abramovich wants offers by tomorrow so negotiations can begin sooner rather than later. I'm sure others will present offers, but these seem to be the front runners and Abramovich has already been in contact with them. I just doubt that it's Wyss considering his age, how much can he care about such an acquisition? Boehly already has experience in professional sports ownership and tried to buy Chelsea a few years ago but couldn't agree on price with Abramovich. Ratcliffe would be good since he's British and he'd own the most value EPL franchise owned by a Brit, currently that spot is held by Tottenham. My gut says it's going to be Boehly, he's young, professional sports ownership in his background, a pre-existing interest in the club.

Pulisic has really lost it. He can't hold on to the ball and beat anyone on the dribble. That used to be one of his best attributes.
Cheeky go ahead from James!
Havertz makes it 2-0
3-0!

Good write up on the club's value and attractiveness to potential buyers. I do think the stadium will be an issue for Abramovich to hit his asking price. If they played in the stadium that Tottenham plays in I think they'd hit his fee no problem but it's an older building that only holds about 40k fans. I don't know what size makes sense but they currently sit at 9th in the EPL in stadium capacity with a team that is in London.
1. Manchester United - 74k
2. Totteham - 62k
3. Arsenal - 60k
4. West Ham - 60k
5. Manchester City - 55k
6. Liverpool - 53k
7. Newcastle - 52k
8. Aston Villa - 42k
9. Chelsea - 40k
10. Everton - 39k

Pulisic not in the squad today?

He's sick. Or stuck on the owners yacht. Facts are fuzzy.
Not good timing

Is the club going to go bankrupt and get dissolved?
This morning I've read rumors of...
- Not being able to pay the players (due to tweet posted above)
- Having 40m in sponsorship suspended (by the sponsors themselves)
- loss of points and possible forced relegation

Chelsea is screwed.
If they miss payroll, that may well be a breach of contract… if true, that means they could lose everyone to free transfers this summer.
Thank god someone is finally willing to do something. Make Chelsea not able to pay their English staff, vendors, and make em not be able to sell programs etc...that'll show that ****er Putin.
Ugh! I was very nervous coming into this game because of one man... Benzema. Holy hell he's killing us!
Honestly that dude terrifies me more than anyone I've watched play the last couple years. Every time I see him play he just kills it.

These last two games between this one and the 4-1 loss to Brentford are a gut punch.
