Chelsea Thread - 2022/23 Review.

[1964white]

Tuchel on Bielsa's Leeds:

"We made changes for Zenit because this game will be high intensity. His teams do not stop until they are in the shower after the game and we need to be ready for that."

[1964white]

Not the result we wanted, but a typical do or die performance from Bielsa's boys.

How good was that first-half?

Kovacic's volley one of the goals of the season......stunning!!!

Roman Abramovich statement

He has basically taken a step back from Chelsea

If they go bust, that's just two spots left

Roman Abramovich statement

Side step isn't it? He's not given up owneship but handed over control so the club avoids sanctions.

Difficult to see how he can invest any capital into the club if he is under sanctions though.

[Cjay]

Roman Abramovich is willing to listen to offers for Chelsea FC.

He wants £3billion.

This is the first Time he has ever been willing to seel the club.

Definitely more to this story,He's even more dodgy than Mel Morris, and that takes some beating, money and corruption go hand in hand

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Timor Werner has given me more laughs than morecambe and wise, David Jason and the two ronnies put together....

[1964white]

Sod off back to Russia & go lick Putin's arse you corrupt crook.

Roman Abramovich has confirmed he is selling Chelsea.

He.is not asking for his £1.5billion pound loan to be repaid and in effect has basically done what he did for the club for free.

All.net proceeds of the sale will go to charity for the victims of the Ukraine invasion.

One consortium has been named.

Backed by 86 year old Swiss Billionaire Hansjörg Wyss who has a net worth of around $5billion and he is teaming up with American Billionaire sports club owner Todd Boehly who is worth around $6billion.

However it is unlikely Chelsea will enjoy the spending and freedom that Abramovich gave them

[Johnboy1965]

Just read this

According to lawyers, despite the statement released on Saturday suggesting Abramovich was handing “stewardship and care” over to the charitable foundation trustees, it has no legal meaning and Chelsea remains one of his UK-based assets. Therefore, if he is sanctioned by the UK Government for links to the Russian state and his assets are frozen, Abramovich would be unable to sell the club, withdraw money from it or inject money into it.

Just a shame he isn't asking Chelski for his 1.5billion back. That would have finished them. I hope there is an investigation into how they were allowed to be in 1.5billion in debt. What would they have done if he demanded repayment?

Yes Chilli, but it’s Chelsea - I can’t imagine there’ll be many awkward questions being asked by FA about one of their favourites regardless of the apparent illegitimacy of the situation against their own rules or the ethics for that matter. No, because it’s Chelsea, it’ll all be just brushed under the carpet, nothing to see here - move on!

[VinnysTattoo]

Shows the financial gap between them and ourselves when he can let go £1-5 billion of loans!

Without him Chelsea do not have the stadium/ turnover to facilitate the amount spent on players etc.

[Tyzy]

Abramovich has been sanctioned, I wonder where that leaves Chelsea?

[Mountain]

Apparently sale of club is frozen, as is sale of assets like tickets - only season ticket holders getting into games.

[HarryofOz]

A rivals' fan song has sort of come true

40,000 w**kers at Stamford Bridge
40,000 w**kers at Stamford Bridge
But if one Chechnyan rebel were to shoot Abramovic
There'd be no Chelsea w**kers, and no Stamford Bridge

[Cjay]

Chelsea finally paying for being funded by the Dictatorial mafia like Russian regime.

Also presumably Frank will be handing back his medals?

We don't do that in this country.
