Can roman sell? His assets are frozen, doesn't Chelsea count as an asset.

Yes. Once a buyer is found they can get a licence to sell. The licence will only be accepted should the transaction prove Roman doesn't get the money.

Bascally said on the news, he can't sell the club, this is going South quickly.

Didn't say without a licence, they just said he's been personally sanctioned and will no longer be able to sell the club, like he planned. Banned on contracts and transfers

The UK government is open to considering a further addition to the special licence to allow a sale to proceed.

Those working on the deal on behalf of Abramovich were always told that proceeds from the sale would go to a war fund for victims of the war in Ukraine

From BBC Website:

Chelsea were put up for sale on 2 March and there are understood to be plenty of interested parties, despite Abramovich being sanctioned.

The UK government is open to considering a further addition to the special licence to allow a sale to proceed.

Those working on the deal on behalf of Abramovich were always told that proceeds from the sale would go to a war fund for victims of the war in Ukraine.

This was made clear when Abramovich put the club up for sale last week. It is understood that the £1.5bn loan from Abramovich will not be deducted from the price.

Abramovich had instructed American investment firm Raine Group to seek £3bn for the club, but finance experts believe that an already inflated price could drop further given the current uncertainty around Chelsea.

How quickly the club can be sold once a buyer has been found depends on the government receiving assurances that the proceeds would not go to Abramovich, but securing those assurances could take time.

Yeah I get what u both are saying, considering is a hell of a difference than allowing.

The question is how deprave the government would be to delay any potential sale allowing the club to rot further.

Lose more sponsors, get a points deduction., and more.

Basically put it on a tough path to recover even after an eventual sale.

Which is why I keep asking whether Roman will launch legal action to at least allow the club to function semi-normally (albeit without sponsors) and also allow a sale in the short term.

It's now just said we can't sell match tickets?

Nope can't sell anything. Shop is closed too. Season ticket holders are okay and tickets already brought but other then that...nada.

 But then they'd still have to pay ground staff,stewards whatever else to be there to do that. Assume there is money to pay those staff if not...jib losses and all

So assume no away fans at our games..Boro is off sale but assume that money would go to them anyway? So maybe that will change who knows.

So we could get to a stage where we can't pay players staff etc.

Thought I read we have 2 weeks of reserves

Ermmmm...I guess. No money coming in and all gotta stop eventually 

There's a licence in place to allow them to pay them all but that's if they can.

Don’t forget the Super League project. New owners, especially from the US, might be extremely tempted to join and cash in.
