Roman Abramovich Thread

[Superblue 6,331]

With only limited information but from what it appears the club can only continue paying wages and fulfilling fixtures through our cash reserves as any incoming revenue will be frozen. No idea what that might be (hopefully Roman has kept them well stocked in case of this possibility).

But the longer this drags on, there's a very real chance the club could go into an administration scenario.

I guess the hope will be that some sort of agreement can be made to allow the club to still be sold and then the sale proceeds of the club can be frozen for the time being.

So the UK government will destroy an entire club from top to bottom because of 1 man. The tens of millions of supporters, the players, the staff, the coaches. All totally innocent and they get to watch as their club is destroyed.

Today’s sanctions against Roman Abramovich and the licence that’s been drawn up for Chelsea does, at the moment, halt any prospect of a sale.

However, the BBC understands that the government is open in the future to considering a licence that would permit the sale of the club, but that would have conditions so that the proceeds would not be able to go to Abramovich.

This is because they think the viability of the club is potentially best served if it is sold.

not only (I agree it is FUCKED) are the Saudis not sanctioned, but the yanks are selling them hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons to do the Israelis' bidding (ie proxy war with Iran via Yemen, etc etc etc)

So this means then what ?
The club is dissolved ? Then it must be appropriated by the state.
So we are the government's team ?
Do you know of any historical precedents ? Involving factories, houses, anything.

Putin is a black sun, and Roman, like a vainglorious Icarus, flew far too close

The only one similar case that comes to mind was Melina Merkouris (never on Sunday) property assets in Greece.
In 1970 she was living in Paris and she was against the junta so the junta of Papadopoulos removed her Greek citizenship and confiscated her property (and she was rich of course).
In 1974 she got it back when the junta fell, but in 1970 what was supposed to be happening ?
