Roman Abramovich Thread

Best we can probably hope for now is a bidding war ensues and someone with tens of billions comes in and is Roman Version 2.

Complete and utter Discrimination.

Ukraine are fucked - the EU and US have left them out to dry.

Punishing Russian people for Putin? 

This is just jealousy plain and simple.

Roman has zero say in what Putin does. The regions in Ukraine want to be part of Russia. But as usual the west hypes it up and fucks everything up.

No mentions of the Muslims in China or any of the other horrendous wars going on... 

It's a whiteout. Notice Covid has conveniently disappeared- after they scared the world to almost death. 

Unfuckingbelievable Jeff... 

Such a sad, sad, sad day. 😭

Roman is Chelsea's Alex Ferguson.

Hope we can fare better than United after that.

Something unfair is happening here, I fully get the anger about Russia invading the Ukraine but I'm seeing lots of normal Russian civilians being criticised and discriminated against like it's their fault.

I think the agenda is to turn the Russian people against Vladimir Putin so they will protest etc but the problem I see with that is this is a guy who sent people to England to poison a guy in Salisbury, he says "it wasn't me" but he really is ruthless and doesn't care if anyone knows he did it, this is a guy who locks up protestors and isn't afraid to instruct people to use force.

So when lots of Russians end up getting beaten during protests, maybe killed, will we help them? no.

Same with all these countries offering to home the Ukrainian people that flee their country - they want the easy job of helping people run away - but didn't and won't do anything to help the Ukrainian people defend their country from the invasion. Don't get me wrong it's good that countries are welcoming the Ukraine people but it would have been nice to have actually helped them stop their country being invaded in the first place.

 

In my opinion, if Roman Abramovich was to come out and criticise Vladimir Putin - his life would be in grave danger as would the lives of his family, it's all well and good for Piers Morgan to sit there saying Roman is a coward for not criticising Putin etc but we all know Piers wouldn't if he had family living in Russia.

 

I wish Roman Abramovich all the best for the future and am grateful for everything he has done for this club, it's sad that his nationality is being used to turn people against him.

 

We have a Prime Minister and his team who while people were dying or locked up in their houses were having 8 or more 'gatherings' and they openly lie about it, sometimes they even joke about it - I ask myself... with that kind of attitude - on the day the Russians invaded the Ukraine did they sit around the office table and say "fantastic this will take the heat off us for Party-Gate" ? I don't believe for one minute that it hasn't crossed any of their minds.

very sad news, i was really hoping it dindn’t have to come to this, but Roman’s Chelsea era is over, i don’t know how to feel about this, i feel down, its surreal. This man has done everything possible for the club, very passionate and comitted owner who always had the club’s best interest at heart, he invested so much in this club, infrastructures, academy, players, staff, etc. made this club very successful, a force to be reckoned with and reach the very top of football. We as fans can only be eternally grateful to Roman for everything he has done for Chelsea and wish him all the best in the future. Let’s just pray that whoever takes over next is as passionate and comitted as Roman was. Cheers everyone

I can't help but feel the same way too.

Especially if all this was anticipated.

Also, is no one commenting on the poetry in motion?

The last trophy won under the Roman era was the club world cup, to finally complete the set. The only one missing from the list.

The first trophy we won under Roman is the league cup in 2005 against Liverpool.

And, in the seemingly the last trophy competed for under the Roman era, we lost the league cup final, against the same opponents.,Liverpool.

Also...reading that one line from his statement on the club website is saddening.

I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Nord Stream 2 is off. USA got what they wanted.

Put buyback clause just in case.

This is turning out more emotional than I imagined. Devastated that he's gone and I have no faith these Americans coming in will be Roman 2.0.
