  1. The only one similar case that comes to mind was Melina Merkouris (never on Sunday) property assets in Greece. In 1970 she was living in Paris and she was against the junta so the junta of Papadopoulos removed her Greek citizenship and confiscated her property (and she was rich of course). In 1974 she got it back when the junta fell, but in 1970 what was supposed to be happening ?
  2. So this means then what ? The club is dissolved ? Then it must be appropriated by the state. So we are the government's team ? Do you know of any historical precedents ? Involving factories, houses, anything.
  3. Tory b***dy government broke all records in racism by not taking Ukrainian refugees. Because you cannot call racists the few loonies up and around who sport Hitler flags and ignore Johnson and his cronies who are a government party. We 've seen this before from the Tories: Ugandan Asians - prompted Enoch's "rivers of blood" speech Vietnamese boat people - the Tories were furious with the Wilson government 40 (!) Croatian refugees when John Major was pm - the party grassroots revolted And all those refugees were allies ! Now by way of diversion they are punishing Chelsea football club, when in fact the club have announced that Roman Abramovitch will not continue. Never in history has Britain been brought to shame like that,
  4. The Putin government sanctions Abramovitch !
  5. Are the gate receipts so high that we need a new stadium to accomodate all ? I don't know. Back in the early sixties when there was a derby match I used to hear things like "30,000 spectators in - 200,000 out" or "if we had the Maracana it would still be 200,000 locked out". But nowadays teams settle for new stadiums of barely 30,000 capacity and they also think very highly of those new 30,000 stadiums. We do of course have television and internet now. Why do you think a big stadium with 80,000-100,000 seats is needed ?
  6. Another famous consortium I remembered was Nottingham Forest 1977. Two European championships but then it broke up. It's not the more the merrier in football.
  7. He says he 's going to fly the flag. Have you ever seen a Russian flag at the bridge during all of the Roman years ?
  8. Putin out, Erdogan in. Next Ayattolah Khomeini. Next Kim.
  9. A consortium is no good really. They break up. One good consortium was AEK Athens 1990. Three league titles in a row but then the consortium broke up.
  10. What ? The son of the original Onassis wanted to make Panionios a big club but he died. She is a horse woman and she does n't want to be called Greek - she wants to be called French. But she has the money.
  11. It does n't look like a straightforward link - more like a clickbait so I 'm not posting it.
  12. Nigerian site says it's fixed with the Turk.
  13. It will be a disaster if that Turkish businessman takes the club and nobody will like Chelsea. It's not like the THY advertisement we had a couple of seasons back, it's Turkish ownership and he 's not likely to stay out of political controversy - the way Abramovitch almost managed to do. Turkey at present is a rogue state. They are excused of many thinks because of their important geographical position but it is a rogue state.
  14. Turkey has declared its intentions to "liberate" all the Aegean islands. They even produced a map on tv with funny Turkish names for all the islands:
  15. I was aghast the way that Welsh so called mp attacked him. But as effectively we (the west) are at war he is implicated and moral code calls for him to resign although he is innocent.
  16. He 's Russian and he did n't condemn Putin - only declared he is against the war. So he is a victim of circumstances really. Of course the intensity given to the story is a cover up - Putin's pals in the UK were the brexiters and Boris Johnson:
  17. Chelsea is the big corner shop of Europe. Unless football is considered as no longer a viable proposition for investment, there will be scores of buyers. Hence all those applicants should be vetted for their loyalty to the club as well as for their economic power.
  18. Werner saved the day. Little chance Luton had after the equalizer.
  19. The brexiters only in their doorbells did they forget to write "Boris Johnonides, Russian spy". Now the orgy of hype against Abra.
  20. The government of the arch-Putin brexit spies are not accepting the Ukrainian refugees now.
