Kind of disappointing that there isn’t, tbh. That would probably be the only way this idiotic government would relent in their ridiculous punishment of fans, players, and staff. As stated above, you’ve already ensured Abramovich won’t see a penny from the sale, has been disqualified as the owner, and he’s effectively barred from entering the country. Why is that not enough? Why should everyone else in the club suffer? It would be stupid . While some would chant Romans name , banners , even Russian colours . The poor fan rhetoric has no weight anymore just make us look self entitled dicks . Where is that soft usually loud mouthed David Baddiel?

The one with 2 billion is obviously in a position to give better bribes than the one with the 200 million. I 've seen some tricks but that much difference looks big. There is no need for actual bribes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lVendemiale 2 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hi everybody guys. It’s Lorenzo Vendemiale, a journalist from RAI, italian public television. We are working on a story about the consequences of the war in Ukraine in sports and we will talk about Chelsea FC. We will talk about what your club is going through, what the government decided about Abramovich and how this is questioning the present and the future of the club. We’re preparing a trip to London for one of Chelsea's upcoming games at Stamford Bridge. We would like to film the whole match day experience, lived with the Chelsea fans, at the entrance and exit of the stadium, to witness the atmosphere, feelings and opinions about what is happening. We are looking for a group of fans to organize our visit with, that's why I am posting on this forum. Who can I turn to? Is there anyone who can help me? Thank you all guys Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you all guys Hi Lorenzo I dont think there are any Season Ticket holders on the forum (they are only permitted to attend at present)- probably best to just interview people when you get there.

lVendemiale 2 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yes I know, but since we are coming from Italy we would like to arrange in advance, just to be sure we will meet the supporters we're looking for and spend the game day with them. We need someone to help us know if there will be gatherings of fans before the match at the entrance of the stadium, where they will see the game since they can not enter, film all the atmosphere and talk to them Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go you can meet the season ticket holders and then you can go to a pub to talk more. No problem. Only on April 2 the sanctions may be over.

milka 3,393 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 All this Media coverage on Chelsea has just proved to me that there has always been and there always will be an agenda .

Laylabelle 9,536 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 The supporters Trust people urged them to withdraw it as well!

ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 All of this is mentally exhausting. We do not know how much past Friday until we actually know something definitive.

It's bad, but as I alluded to before we've been in a lot darker places. On the verge of bankruptcy, Stamford Bridge almost turned into flats, fans banned (albeit for different reasons). Right now it's the uncertainty - but who knows things may even get better than the last 20 years. Gotta hope at least.

You just can't buy something worth 2.7 billion for 250 million. One example: The totalizator of the Athens race course in 1995. An American company who had already won the bid in Cyprus makes an offer for 20 million. Intralot asks for 25 million, the totalizator will not become property of the racecourse but operated by Intralot on behalf of the race course so the race course will have to pay every month ! Intralot wins with the shaky excuse that they offer jobs to Greek workers. It was scandalous and we all know there was a lot of political wheeling and dealing. Then they do more. In the year 2001 they change all the displays to euros. But that was n't due till 2002 so they make them show first drachmas then euros, alternating. The result was awful-unreadable. But Intra got 2 million euros for it, for making the displays unreadeable and then they get paid more in 2002 to make them into proper euro displays. But all that is small money. Or the other Greek deal with the German built submarines at around the same time. There was bribing, some people were sentence to long prison sentences, but again it was small money when compared to the total cost of the subs. How can you pay 250 million for something worth 2.7 billion ? Nobody around to make another offer ? Then it was not worth 2.7 billion. If it was me I could easily double the bribes to the various officials and buy the snibneft for say 2.3 billion.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 '"Chelsea" and "sporting integrity" don't belong in the same sentence': Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson tears into the 'rotten' world champions, calls for counterpart Bruce Buck to be 'thrown out' and vows to complain to the FA. Steve Gibsons company Bulkhaul have an agent in Russia called Ruscon which operates throughout Russia. Gibson happy to do business with Putins Russia when he is making money. So many hypocrites....

Well, I know the various Greek scandals so I 'm trying to play detective Hercules Poirot with the Abramovitch case. But one thing is for sure. He did n't cause the war or gained (!) from it.
