Right but Matt Law clearly indicated those that are making their intentions public, along with what they intend on doing as owner, aren't too be taken seriously. Just one search of this bloke's name and there is virtually nothing on him. Edited March 12, 2022 by MoroccanBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Boehly Wyss state they will reinstate Rudiger's contract, buy Haaland, Build new stadium, etc, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Law leaked Boehly intend the club to be more self sustaining and has a plan for a new stadium. Wyss also leaked he doesn't really care about football and dislike Roman.

As is commonly known. 1 hour ago, cosmicway said: So Abramovitch and others who had some money bought them but at a highly reduced price than what would be normal. In fact the bulk of the money Roman used to fund his purchase came from a $100m bank loan comfortably secured on the shares he would be purchasing. 1 hour ago, cosmicway said: I don't know why Yeltsin accepted this but he did it. Yeltsin wanted to transition Russia's economy away from the planned soviet model towards a market driven capitalist system. This required: - Moving ownership of the means of production out of public hands into private ones. Creating wealthy individuals 'overnight' with money to invest and kick start the new market economy. Ensure, as far as possible, that these newly created capitalists knew to whom they should be grateful and that they would use their wealth to back him. 1 hour ago, cosmicway said: Among them there are I suppose all sorts of different opinions: Proinvasion, neutral and against. Abramovitch looks like neutral. When Putin ousted Yeltsin, Roman had the good sense to switch his allegiance. Those that did not found themselves being stripped of their wealth. Some tried to take Putin on, some tried to run and hide but, whether he served as President or Prime minister, Putin had gathered the leavers of power into his hands and taking him on was not a successful strategy. Roman just went with the flow. 1 hour ago, cosmicway said: The Italian Gazzeta dello Sport says that teams targeted by the sanctions besides Chelsea are Monaco, the Dutch Vitesse and PAOK Salonika is a question mark according to them. Also Bournemouth's Maxim Denim appears to be outside the scope of the sanctions. Vitesse because of the links with Roman/CFC perhaps. I'm not sure of the status of that relationship now or if it still exists at all. I vaguely remember that a few years back uefa tightened the regulations and that the ties had to be rowed back as a result. 1 hour ago, cosmicway said: I don't know if we had German oligarchs operating in UK-USA at the start of world war II and what happened then. At the start of the war the UK government took a pretty bizarre view of things. They refused to bomb privately owned factories because they were not organs of the German state. That didn't last but it wasn't entirely without some thinking behind it. The hope was to divorce the German people, a majority of whom always voted against the Nazis after all*, from the regime. They aimed to send the message, "We're against Hitler, not against you." In hindsight it was a naïve policy but there was some method in the madness. More generally, there was some internment of German nationals but this was not limited to wealthy or connected individuals only. If you were German you were liable to detention and that was perhaps understandable. The nations were at war after all.

Pizy 18,952 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Would be pretty hilarious from a narrative POV if after all the doom and gloom about us being liquidated or entering administration a Saudi group that’s even wealthier than Roman swoops in and buys us. But the government can’t suddenly say no to this group mere months after approving of Newcastle, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that whole Pool/United ex player posse that rules football media in England. On the other hand, I'm also glad that none of our big guns became a pundit. Imagine having your ex player and legend talking shit about their former clubs performances. Emma Hayes won pundit of the year a week/ten days ago.

Pizy 18,952 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It seems so shortsighted and plain dumb for companies to “suspend” their sponsorships when the process of finding a new owner will maybe take a couple of weeks. What’s the point? Chelsea FC, the actual football club, haven’t done anything to bring these companies’ reputation down. So other than a phony publicity stunt I don’t see what it accomplishes. Any and all sponsors that jump ship during this period should never be allowed to come groveling back once things are sorted.
