Roman Abramovich Thread

Doom and gloomers.

 

Calm your tits guys. Roman will come through this and it won't affect his ownership of the club

Nothing has been proven though? 
 

There was suspicion/links that Roman was using political influence, and he received the necessary punishment of being barred from the UK until further notice. Now they want to seize his assets when they still haven’t proven anything, such as direct links to Putin?

Cries of desperation really.

That's what I recall. At least based on the outcome of the Navalny case, where he vehemently denied links.

Brexit junta have made NATO the laughing stock of the world.
Now it's Abramovich to blame !

Legal experts believe that the Government would agree an official “carve out” of Chelsea from any prospective actions to avoid significant impact on a club that employs hundreds of people and is supported by thousands.

That would mean Chelsea could continue as a business, including receiving future broadcast money from the Premier League and Uefa - and paying out wages to staff.

Those 2019 links were investigated. A politician grandstanding while a country is being invaded. I could be wrong, but I don't see Roman being forced to sell. He is not and has not been involved in the day to day operations of the club. If they seized his holding company, the club operates fine with that holding company being held. It is not like when they hold assists of a high level official in another company, they never give it back unless it is proven to be involved in illegal activity. People will posture, opposition fans will say a bunch of things, and in a month or less it is going to fade.

Thats my thinking. Politically, westerm politicians will huff and puff, give it 4-6 months things will roughly be back to normal. Either that or we've all been nuked 🥴

Tell that to the millions of refugees that will flee to Western Europe 

Nothing will be back to normal. This move marks the beginning of  a new time. It’s hard to believe after decades of peace but this attack was not just directed at Ukraine . It is clear putin wants to restore the borders of the soviet union

Freedom and democracy are now at stake

there will be a new Cold War

Thats what you get when Putins been in power for 22 years, thinks he's invincible.

Kind of shows how out of touch these politicians are with reality.

Seize a football club! Yeah, that will save millions of lives.

I did make this point under another topic but — in my opinion the current Ukraine situation could have massive repercussions for our club. Roman has been an amazing owner of our club but as a known close associate of Putin, he is likely to get the full might of any business and personal sanctions. Putin may even put pressure on Roman to cut ties with the U.K ???? We all pray it doesn’t happen but it must be the single  biggest worry  for all Blues supporters 

 

I wouldn't say single.. but yes it is a worry.

[Tautvix 1,321]

Abramovich's money is definitely covered in blood and I fully agree that all his assets should be seized immediately. He is a part of Russia's regime and sanctions need to be taken.

It's the pot calling the kettle black.
UK's brexit government is part and parcel of the KGB and Putin and they are pulling everybody's leg - including Biden.

Boris would probably still find a way of coming back from the brink...
