Look, they could have introduced a committee to monitor the sale process so Abramovitch does not make a phoney sale to one of his employees.
Or if they go for the jugular nationalize CFC and then sell it themselves.
But it is only a diversion for their own mischiefs: It was Putin who created this government.
There is also a -by the nature of things- majority of Chelsea haters in the commons.

I think also there was his whole donation to victims of war pledge..but he never said just Ukraine victims would benefit which was picked up on...wherever it was meant to come across like that or not..

No. He did n't take any sides (except for the daughter who did). But followed the code of ethics and resigned.

The Queen's Beasts

The Lion of England

Arms of the United Kingdom.svg

The Lion of England is the crowned golden lion of England, which has been one of the supporters of the Royal Arms since the reign of Edward IV (1461–1483). It supports a shield showing the Arms of the United Kingdom as they have been since Queen Victoria's accession in 1837. In the first and last quarters of the shield are the arms of the House of Plantagenet (the "Lions of England", technically in heraldic language "Leopards of England"), taken from the arms of King Richard I (1157–1199), "The Lionheart". The lion and tressure (armorial border) of Scotland appear in the second, and the Harp of Ireland is in the third.[15]

The White Greyhound of Richmond

The White Greyhound of Richmond was a badge of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster, Earl of Richmond, 3rd son of King Edward III. It was also used by his son King Henry IV and especially by King Henry VII. The Tudor double rose can be seen on the shield, one rose within another surmounted by a crown. It symbolizes the union of the two cadet houses of Plantagenet – the House of York and the House of Lancaster.[16]

The Yale of Beaufort

The Yale was a mythical beast, supposedly white and covered with gold spots and able to swivel each of its horns independently. It descends to the Queen through King Henry VII, who inherited it from his mother, Lady Margaret Beaufort. The shield shows a portcullis surmounted by a royal crown. The portcullis (uncrowned) was a Beaufort badge, but was used both crowned and uncrowned by Henry VII.[17]

The Red Dragon of Wales

Arms of Llywelyn.svg

The red dragon (Welsh: Y Ddraig Goch) is an ancient Welsh symbol, and a badge used by Owen Tudor. His grandson, Henry VII, took it as a token of his supposed descent from Cadwaladr, the last of the line of Maelgwn. The beast holds a shield bearing a lion in each quarter; this was the coat of arms of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, the last native Prince of Wales.[18]

The White Horse of Hanover

The White Horse of Hanover was introduced into the Royal Arms in 1714 when the crown of Great Britain passed to the Elector George of Hanover. This grandson of Elizabeth Stuart, sister of King Charles I, became George I, King of Great Britain and Ireland. The shield shows the leopards of England and the lion of Scotland in the first quarter, the fleur-de-lis of France in the second (brought into the royal arms of England by King Edward II) and the Irish harp in the third quarter. The fourth quarter shows the arms of Hanover.[19]

The White Lion of Mortimer

Rose en Soleil Badge of York.svg

The White Lion of Mortimer descends to the Queen through Edward IV, from Anne de Mortimer. The shield shows a white rose encircled by a golden sun, known heraldically as a ‘white rose en soleil’ which is really a combination of two distinct badges. Both of these appear on the Great Seals of Edward IV and Richard III, and were used by George VI when Duke of York. Unlike the Lion of England, this beast is uncrowned.[20]

The Unicorn of Scotland

From the end of the 16th century, two unicorns were adopted as the supporters of the Scottish Royal Arms. In 1603 the crown of England passed to James VI of Scotland, who then became James I of England. He took as supporters of his royal arms a crowned lion of England and one of his Scottish unicorns. The unicorn holds a shield showing the royal arms of Scotland, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory-counter-flory.[21]

The Griffin of Edward III

Badge of the House of Windsor.svg

The griffin of Edward III Queen's Beast is an ancient mythical beast. It was considered a beneficent creature, signifying courage and strength combined with guardianship, vigilance, swiftness and keen vision. It was closely associated with Edward III who engraved it on his private seal. The shield shows the Round Tower of Windsor Castle (where Edward III was born) with the Royal Standard flying from the turret, enclosed by two branches of oak surmounted by the royal crown.[22]

The Black Bull of Clarence

Royal Arms of England (1399-1603).svg

The Black Bull of Clarence descended to the Queen through Edward IV. The shield shows the Royal Arms as they were borne by Edward IV and his brother Richard III as well as all the Sovereigns of the Houses of Lancaster and Tudor.[23]

The Falcon of the Plantagenets

Falcon and Fetterlock Badge of Edward IV.svg

The falcon was first used by Edward III of the House of Plantagenet as his badge. It descended to Edward IV, who took it as his personal badge, the falcon standing within an open fetterlock. Originally closed, the slightly open fetterlock is supposed to refer to the struggle Edward IV had to obtain the throne — "he forced the lock and won the throne."[24]

It feels like we are nothing but a pawn in a PR exercise by the UK Government because let's face it for all the talk and bravado, we've offered literally nothing to Ukraine at present in terms of military support, implementing no flight zones, taking in Ukraine refugees, etc.

100% feels like this

 HI everyone lets not get to depressed about this. Romans assets have been frozen not seized. There is a big difference. He is still the owner of CFC and this may be good if he doesn’t want to sell the club anyway. Frozen assets can be unfrozen. Hopefully in a few months when this war dies down or ends, his assets would be unfrozen and he would still remain owner or the club and not sold. Other clubs are confusing frozen with seized but thats not the case. This move might even be a way of protecting his ownership until the war crisis dies down. Also the government has to be seen to be doing something. They could have seized his assets but chose not to. That says a lot
