Chelsea ‘could go bust’ if Abramovich is sanctioned as suitors explore takeover

  1. London is thee Russian money laundering Mecca. Can you really cut off the supply of blood money without impacting the recipient location?

  2. Isn’t ALL football club ownership in the Premier League (and other leagues) just a form a money laundering? I just naturally assumed it was – why else would foreign billionaires suddenly have such an interest in a club (and/or sport) in which they hitherto had no interest?

    I assumed it would become clear, maybe it a few decades yet, that the whole thing (including transfers etc) has always been an illegal scam.

  3. I am fine with this. In fact I am fine with all football clubs going bust. All sport going bust, if it helps stop a war.

  4. “Chelsea ‘could go bust’ if Abramovich is sanctioned as suitors explore takeover”

    Who gives a fuck what happens to a football team, people are being killed.

  5. If the players and staff had any decency, they should take their contracts and rip them up. So no to this fucking blood money.

  6. I hope it comes to that. And I hope they appeal to the government for a bailout. And I hope they are denied it. I’m a sport lover but football is big enough and rich enough to fight its own existential crises and I think Chelsea FC will somehow be fine no matter what happens.

  7. Owner gets sanctioned, demands money owed from a UK business, business says no we won’t pay you due to sanctions, end of story?

  8. Good get him the fuck out and dont let the Saudis make the purchase. Enough of these oil money royals and oligarchs in english football

  9. I’m not sure if Abramovich is Russian anymore -if it’s to his advantage anyway. He has a nice shiny new Israeli passport, completely coincidentally issued just after he donated millions of pounds to El’ad, an Israeli settler organisation.

  10. I don’t understand this article at all: Why would Chelsea have to pay Abramovich anything if it is seized from him.

  11. Good. Anything connected to that cunt Putin needs to die. Ban every russian team or sportsperson from anything right now. Seize all Russian assets in the UK. Sanctions up to 100%. UK government to fund Ukraine with as many weapons and ammunition as possible.

    Cut Russia off from the world. No more Russian energy, I’ll sit in a dark cold house who gives a fuck.

    Nothing less.

    Save Ukraine

  12. Good. Football needs to die and be reborn. Maybe then it wont waste millions or billions they dont own to pay for shit they dont need and pay nothing bqck to the people while forcing us to pay for ripoff tickets.

    Football can die. Its about time.
