Hopefully not.

Chelsea are going to get some right stick when they come to ER.

I'd imagine tickets could be sold for FA cup semis and finals should they get there but the money then staying with the FA and none going to the club.

Chelsea have around 28,000 season ticket holders. So that looks to be the max allowed inside the ground for home games

Very good time to play Chelsea I'd have thought, with all the uncertainty. Norwich definitely in with a shot at a win tonight, hope I'm wrong but think they will...

Roman Abramovich pumps £10s of millions of pounds into Chelsea every season to keep the lights on.

What happens to them now that stops?

No way they have that sort of money in their accounts.

So what do they do?

Chelsea have remained at the top table because of £1-5 billion of “ soft loans”. There can’t be many people/ companies who can right off that kind of money.

Sponsors will be assessing their involvement so the gravy train might came of the rails.

Personally I think that the club should have been nationalised, sold off and then the proceeds given to the Ukrainian people.

All the funding for Chelsea came anyway from the Russian people being robbed of their country's assets.

It's the one good thing that has happened in the world of football this season...

I'm sure the PL will look after them, now if it was Leeds , we'd be thrown out by now
Stop worryin' about what people say, when it ain't gonna stop them anyway.
