Thats the crucial bit. And I dont for one minute think hes like so many owners, like the Glazers, just parasites using a club as a vehicle for profit. Anyway the real safety net we have is the CPO.

Fulham Broadway 17,331 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 We need to keep an eye on whether Russia invades Ukraine. Could have massive implications for cash flow for the club, transfers etc US anti Corruption campaigner Bill Browder has said oligarchs such as Abramovich must be targeted with sanctions -Liz Truss has also mooted this, even if they dont invade.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss promised Sunday to unveil legislation this week introducing a wide range of sanctions that could target “any company of interest to the Kremlin.” NEWS Russia Warns Against ‘Destructive’ Sanctions on Putin READ MORE “There will be nowhere to hide for Putin's oligarchs,” Truss told Sky News, adding that “nothing is off the table” when asked about Britain’s ability to seize property in London. President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov described Truss’ warning as an “extremely alarming” statement that “undermines investment attractiveness and the United Kingdom’s attractiveness as such.” “It’s not often you see or hear such direct threats to attack a business,” Peskov told reporters. He added that Moscow will “proceed from its own interests when formulating retaliatory measures.” “An attack by one particular country on Russian business of course implies retaliatory measures,” the state-run TASS news agency quoted Peskov as saying. When asked about the challenge of “uprooting” Kremlin-linked oligarchs enmeshed in Britain’s politics, real estate and financial industry, Truss said: “There’s a real threat here to freedom and democracy in Europe, and that is more important than short-term economic gains.” Edited February 1, 2022 by Vesper Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we reveal the world's biggest carbon scrounger. Roman Abramovich - 33,000 metric tonnes of Co2 a year The owner of Chelsea FC blasts as much Co2 into the atmosphere as a third of a million Rwandans, analysis suggests amid a warning that billionaires across the globe are "plundering the planet". The biggest billionaire carbon scroungers have been revealed in a piece of analysis which puts Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich at the top of the pile. By steaming around the Mediterranean in his super yacht - one of the largest in the world - and jetting off in a private plane with a 30-seat dining room, the 55-year-old dumps 33,859 tonnes of Co2 into the atmosphere each year, according to Ecowatch. That is 4,200 times more than the average Brit. Abramovich cruises the Mediterranean in his superyacht the Eclipse, which at 162.5 meters bow to stern is the second-biggest in the world, according to Super Yacht Fan. In addition, he owns the most expensive custom-made superyacht ever constructed - the Solaris - which has helipad, a swimming pool and 48 cabins, and is worth close to £500million. The oligarch also has a Boeing 767 with a 30-seat dining room for long trips, a Gulfstream G650 jet for shorter rides, two helicopters and a submarine on his yacht. When not travelling in luxury, Abramovich resides in one of his many homes including a mansion in London's Kensington Park Gardens, a chateau in Cap D'Antibes in France and a 28-acre estate in St. Barts, according to the Daily Star. With the average Rwandan producing just 0.1 tonnes of Co2 a year - one of the lowest per capita totals globally - Abramovich is responsible for pumping the same amount of green house gases into the air as 338,590 people.
