Roman Abramovich to sell Chelsea
|
|
Abramovich confirmed his plans to sell in a statement on Wednesday evening and said net proceeds from the sale would be donated to a charitable foundation which would be “for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine”. He said he would not be asking for the money he has loaned Chelsea since buying the club in 2003 to be repaid.
That asset of £1.5bn being the loan to Chelsea should still be seized by the government and liquidated for the benefit of Ukraine.

RIP Chelski, if loans not to be repaid, what about ffp?.

Hopefully the sale is blocked and they fold.
Unlikely but fingers crossed

Hypothetical question.
The war ends in a few weeks and things calm down and Putin is overthrown.
Then next year Abramovich makes an offer for West Ham.
Do we accept, bearing in mind what he has done for Chelsea, or would we say no let’s stick with GSB.

If the government is copping the cost of that loan, it had better not come out of our stadium deal funding.

He could be playing for time,long war he's getting out and hoping not to be sanctioned, short war he's only got to say no buyer and reclaim the club......hopefully this is the beginning of the end and they drop like lead balloon

If he is 'writing off' the loan then the value of the club is higher without that debt to be repaid
i suspect the loan will be written off only with some quid pro quo where the new owners repay some or all off the books or in some asset swap.
The loan is an asset that should be seized rather than dancing to the mute gangsters tune.

Insist the sale money is paid into a UK bank and then seize it all.
Good business.

All this I’ll give proceeds to charity is basically trying to avoid being sanctioned. If you freeze my assets the charity’s will lose out.

This crook should not be allowed to sell. They should freeze all his assets. Sell off all Chelsea's assets. Sell the ground to Brentford or Fulham, and put the money in a trust fund to be given back to the Russian tax payer from whom all this wealth was embezzled. This might be harsh on the true Chelsea fans (The less than 9,000 who turned up to watch them be beaten by Coventry in the mid 90s), The plastics and prawn sandwich brigade can fuck off. Then they should strip them of all the trophies they have won with this cunt's ill gotten gains.

Mind you this could all be a crafty way to hang on to the club, say its up for sale, all procceds to charity, then put a massive asking price on it knowing full well no one is going to buy it, in the mean time any sanctions or grab for his assets put on hold as they are “for sale”.
Conflict ends, sanctions ease on Putins mates, he changes his mind………..

100% agree with that. This crook should not be allowed to dictate his leaving terms and Chelsea should in no way continue to benefit from his dirty money.

He's hardly in a good position to dictate a decent price.
