Skysport saying is Chemical weapon..... Roman Abramovich: Chelsea owner 'suffered symptoms of suspected chemical weapons poisoning' after talks in Kyiv Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is 'fine', Sky Sports News understands; Abramovich and Ukrainian peace negotiators reportedly suffered symptoms including "piercing pain in the eyes", but the dosage and type of toxin was likely insufficient to cause life-threatening damage https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12577015/roman-abramovich-Chelsea-owner-suffered-symptoms-of-suspected-chemical-weapons-poisoning-after-talks-in-kyiv

I wish it was a buy back but it states here: Barclay told GIVEMESPORT: “I don’t think they do have a buyback clause. My understanding is they have a clause, which kicks in next summer, where if another club makes a bid and it gets accepted then they have the right to match that bid and have it accepted. “His story at Chelsea might not definitely be over, but it’s not as simple as Tino Livramento, for example, where if they just offer close to £38million, they can get him back.” I wonder if we should bring him back? I feel the same way with Tomori if we should bring him back, but after Lukaku I feel like players in Serie A are over hyped due to their league being very weak. But let's see. The only who I would not mind having back is Livramento

Lampard is not a good coach. I think after this stint he will realize that. But he is good at spotting talent. He should realize that as well. Come back to Chelsea FC and be part of the incoming transfers.

I think at this time I say it's best we get Boehly.

I think Israel should jump in Ukraine and help. Since no one will help Ukraine. They have no choice because Russia next target is Israel. So might as well jump at it before they get attack by Russia, Iran and others.

😃 nope, just American. But just because we are from here does not mean I want American owner. I want one that will have more money then Roman and want to invest in the club.

What happen to the Saudi Bid? I thought they was the richest out of all them?

Well after Lukaku bullied that league and now with us, I don't take the Serie A that serious any more. Seems like a very weak league where average players can look much better then they are.

Report: Premier League Clubs Want to See Chelsea & Roman Abramovich Investigation Over Debt Clearing Under current Premier League rules, the owners are only allowed to put in £90m over three years and anything in excess of that is treated as a debt. "So, if Chelsea’s owner had written off the £1.5bn debt it would likely then become a £1.5bn debt for Profit and Sustainability accounting purposes. "Things are made more complicated by the government sanctions, which are likely to mean Roman Abramovich can neither write off the debt or be paid it. "Unless the government relaxes the sanctions, anyone who buys Chelsea isn’t allowed to pay back the debt to Roman Abramovich. "But if that means that Chelsea gets an unfair advantage under the Profit and Sustainability rules because of government sanctions, it’s still an unfair advantage." https://www.si.com/soccer/Chelsea/news/report-premier-league-clubs-want-to-see-Chelsea-roman-abramovich-investigation-over-debt-clearing

We will know by the end of tonight what offer was accepted?

Tuchel wanted a striker and he was good with that. So the whole club made a stupid decision. And Tuchel to accept his mistake and try to get rid of ASAP Lukaku this summer. Not do another Torres and keep him to try to make it work....

CPO yes I remember was a pain. But in reality the place where Chelsea is at is one of the best area. So if want to keep Chelsea at the same prestigious place then it will cost. Thus in reality that CPO stubbornness has been good for us and any future buyers in keeping the club at a key area. Just that will cost more as to in other place, but that is the sacrifice that must be done.

I'm curious with this Saudi Group. They state that they are not link to the Saudi government. Where the money from that group is coming? If they are richer then Roman then I'm all for it.

I think with the new owner it can still be done that stadium, but weather it's at the same place where we at is a whole different thing. We will have to see what happens in the future.

But the problem I have is that some might want to do the same as the Glazrers. Want to get profit to get their money back. But we are not yet a money making machine like United. Our Stadium is going to cost us. So why are those consortiums bidding. Unless they don't know the full account details of the club?

The battle to buy Chelsea: what we know about the main bidders Before Friday’s deadline for offers to buy the club from Roman Abramovich, we look at the known runners and riders Boehly-Wyss-Goldstein consortium The Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss was first to go public regarding Roman Abramovich’s desire to sell and to declare an interest in buying the club. He has teamed up with investors including Todd Boehly, an American who part-owns baseball’s LA Dodgers, and Jonathan Goldstein, a British businessman who is the CEO of Cain International and a Tottenham fan. They submitted an offer between £2bn and £2.5bn some days ago and have been confident of winning the race to buy Chelsea but the picture has been complicated by the emergence of new bidders. Boehly was rebuffed by Abramovich when he made an offer for the club in 2019. Ricketts family and Ken Griffin The Ricketts family, owners of the Chicago Cubs, have joined forces with the hedge fund tycoon Ken Griffin, who is valued by Forbes at $26.5bn (£20.2bn). Griffin is the founder and CEO of Citadel Asset Management but is operating in a private capacity. The Ricketts family, who announced on Wednesday they would bid on Friday, first made an attempt to buy Chelsea in 2018. They believe their success in winning the World Series with the Cubs in 2016 and major redevelopment of the team’s historic Wrigley Field show they would be worthy owners of the Premier League club, whose Stamford Bridge stadium could be renovated. Team Broughton-Coe Martin Broughton, a former chairman of British Airways, is planning to front a bid and has support from Sebastian Coe and financial muscle from Creative Artists Agency, a US company whose portfolio includes the football agency Base, and Evolution Media Capital. Broughton, a Chelsea fan, was briefly chairman of Liverpool in 2010 and there would be a seat on the board for Coe, the World Athletics president and a fellow Chelsea supporter, if this offer succeeds. Coe is a former Conservative MP and worked closely with Boris Johnson over the 2012 London Olympics, when the prime minister was the mayor of London. The UK government must approve Chelsea’s sale after imposing sanctions on Abramovich, although the process is being overseen by the US bank Raine. Woody Johnson The owner of the NFL’s New York Jets since January 2000 has strong interest in Chelsea and a connection with London. He was appointed as the US ambassador to the UK by Donald Trump in 2017 and soon denied he had suggested his country could buy the NHS. Johnson is said to have developed, or deepened, his love for football, and Chelsea in particular, during his time in that post. He is the billionaire heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. The Jets have not made the play-offs in 11 years, the longest current drought in the NFL. Nick Candy and partners The British property tycoon is another Chelsea fan hoping to own the club. He has acknowledged the need to team up with other investors and sources have said he has been approached by several and has the funds in place to bid. Candy this week denied he could team up with Boehly, Wyss and Goldstein, with a spokesperson saying Candy did “not want a lifelong Spurs fan as part of the future ownership of Chelsea”. Candy, a Conservative party donor and property developer, has said he would put a fan on the board and his proposals include plans for an expensive redevelopment of Stamford Bridge. He has enlisted the sports advisory and capital solutions firm Tifosy, co-founded by the former Chelsea player and manager Gianluca Vialli. Saudi Media Company Saudi Media is described on the website of its parent company, Engineer Holding Group, as “a media representation as well as a sports and event marketing company”. Its bid is being fronted by Mohamed Alkhereiji, another Chelsea fan, who is the CEO at Engineer, founded by his father, Abdulelah. Sources have said, in response to questions regarding a possible Premier League’s owners’ and directors’ test, that Saudi Media has no direct links to the Saudi government. This week, the UK’s sports minister, Nigel Huddlestone, said: “Saudi Arabia is an important partner of the UK in investment, intelligence and culture. We welcome Saudi Arabian investment.” Other possible bidders As many as 200 groups have notified Raine of their interest so offers from elsewhere appear likely. Muhsin Bayrak, a Turkish businessman, was said by a representative to have made a bid just under a fortnight ago. Since then Abramovich has been hit by sanctions and Bayrak has been quoted as saying he will submit a fresh offer that reflects the changed circumstances. Josh Harris, the Crystal Palace co-owner, has been linked with a bid. Any takeover by the American would require him to leave Palace. What happens next? Raine will assess the bids and pick its preferred candidates. The bank is hopeful a deal could go through by the end of this month, with time of the essence because Chelsea are operating under a special licence as a result of the sanctions on Abramovich. At the start of this month the Premier League chief executive, Richard Masters, said: “I think the quickest [sale] we have ever done is 10 days. That’s not to say that record can’t be beaten but normally it takes a number of weeks.” https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/mar/17/battle-to-buy-Chelsea-bidders-so-far-roman-abramovich ----------------------- The quote from the UK's Sports minister about Saudi Arabia is very interesting. If they are willing to accept them, then we should go for them. Who cares about image, Chelsea will continue to be hated, was for many years and more even with so with Saudi owners. I'm all for it as long he will continue to legacy of Roman of spending on us 😃

But the problem is how fast we want to close. I wonder if with the Saudis the PL will give us a hard time to sell vs someone English?

Dang Candy is going hard on this. I wonder who will decided on who to buy? Roman or the board?

Most of this people should know that we are not making money. We have always depend on Roman. They should be aware of that.

All good but not good enough to convince US to do any military help.

They was smart in waiting, while we wasted our opportunity in Lukaku.....

Maybe for the fans chanting things that MP don't want to hear?

No one is shock. We knew he is that. Is best to let him go back to Italy. But we will take a big cut. Maybe if we are lucky we get half.

Crazy, I wonder if UK will allow us to get bought by another Saudi organization.

They are Russian, that's what they love to do. Send misinformation. The government should do a background check of those that run that place. Or they can just be people that want the spotlight as Alex Jones publicly stated: InfoWars' Alex Jones Is a 'Performance Artist,' His Lawyer Says in Divorce Hearing During a heated divorce proceeding, Alex Jones's lawyer insisted the bombastic radio jock who spins conspiracy theories is just 'playing a character.' https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/not-fake-news-infowars-alex-jones-performance-artist-n747491
