Paging Jim Ratcliffe. Your favourite team needs you to take ownership. Please proceed with all due speed, before Roman's global bank accounts (and quite possible the football club) are frozen and seized.

Bloomberg report that Abramovich has already rejected a bid of £2.3billion and is holding out for an eye-watering £3bn

Roman has done the club's story but it's time he goes.
he isn't a great business man and that it is seen from menagement of the club this last years and from his business extra football where since 2008 he lost a great part of his patrimony.
don't say : " but he is good becouse he in the past has made his own money becouse that is happen in particular circumtances and not in open market".
The request to sell the club is too high, you can't recuve  all money you invest in the club dear Roman overall if that invest and decision often where wrong, 2.3Billion was already an  offer very high, he would have to accept it.
For me the value of the club and the price Roman could ask is around 1.6B, 3.3B he wants is... foolish!

Complete and utter bollocks and there are posters on here who even though English isn't their first language post far more intelligibly then this fucking drivel.

The sods have really got their forks in Roman haven't they. I'm almost willing to say poor sod but I'd swap shoes with him.

Its all obviously politics and we are hopefully not going to be a casualty over it,

I was only talking to me dad at the Pikeys game how he said how much he liked to see him at the games as he saw how excited and depressed he got just like we do, You dont lose them emotions just because you aren't at the ground. And he has only ever done us proud.

I for one hope he can sort this shit out but its going to be a tough one. I know he will do whats best for us - and himself.

Roman Abramovich has been looking to sell Chelsea for a few months because of financial problems. Pini Zahavi has the sales mandate of the club. In early September, a meeting with Paul Allen owner of the Portland Blazers NBA franchise was held in New York.

 

Paul Allen has a net worth of 20.5 billion USD

He already owns the Portland Trail Blazers, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC. Apparently he is considered a good owner.

funny thing how empiric war mongers get called patriots, and anti-war pols get call called traitors

as for being a 'stupid' leftist, I suppose I am, as at my income level I should be a full stop Austrian schooler, or a Tory rentier income leach

damn shame I had the greed gene bred out of me

my politics are far too diverse to fit into a simplistic left/right paradigm anyway

 

Someone has surely written a good essay on the unique brand of antagonistic, cynical, and frequently anti-solidarity culture of the English and the Americans (as opposed to unity, solidarity, fraternity, acceptance, true eclecticism, etc.).

Maybe the only things that create solidarity among those on the right (because they would also kill one another within their own right wing tribe) are hate, fascism, xenophobia,  machismo (toxic masculinity, chauvinism), and defense of patriarchal society on the verge of loss and powerlessness (esp. among white men).

American owners are the worst kind of owners just look at United, Liverpool and Roma. We would never win another title if he bought the club.

LOLO

Simply because of the owner's nationality??

Purest logical fallacy (uses both Petitio principii and post hoc ergo propter in this case) I have seen in ages
