Political bullshit, I feel aggrieved to lose an owner who had such a love for Chelsea, a fan, one of us, in the stands.

 

Money inherently on that scale is stained, no matter the business or industry. Ridiculous that the UK government have been able to step in.

Im going to go on a bit of an out of character rant here because tbh i am sickened by some of the stuff i have read about Roman these past 48 hours. Now do i agree with his decision to sack Roberto Di

Peace.
Peace.

The three last games show how much wrong was the decision to sack our manager, how much wrong was the choice of personel, and especially how much the timing was wrong. Roberto Di Matteo was sacked whe

We needed world class manager in 2004 - we got him. We didn't need world class manager in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. We could use one, of course, but the core of the team in Terry, Lampard, Cole, Essien,

Boehly has taken a public position against the Super League

The first video - he's going to rock up here and absolutely love some of our players who can play about half a dozen different positions on the pitch.

More hybrid winger / attacking midfield / false striker / wing backs incoming!

Erm, isn't this Jonathan Goldstein an editor and not the Jonathan Goldstein Law is mentioning? The business man?

This is all bollocks and I am fuming. Where is the transparency? Everywhere we turn, including the article quoted here, we are told Roman has links with Putin but no report EVER mention's what those links are and why they are such as to warrant the measures taken against him, against Chelsea and against us. I don't claim that there are no links, nor that Roman shouldn't be sanctioned if they do exist, but all I ever see are assertions, never any specific descriptions of the links and never any evidence to back up the assertions.

Without substantiation of the charges what we are witnessing is a modern day witch hunt.

When communism was toppled the major Soviet industries were denationalized, a la Thatcher between 1979-1990.
So Abramovitch and others who had some money bought them but at a highly reduced price than what would be normal.
I don't know why Yeltsin accepted this but he did it.
So the oligarchs became rich and it was natural for them to have some relations with the country's leadership (who in similar position does n't ?).
Among them there are I suppose all sorts of different opinions: Proinvasion, neutral and against.
Abramovitch looks like neutral.
The Greek-Russian one who is quite a character now declares he is against the invasion or so I heard.

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.

I don't know if we had German oligarchs operating in UK-USA at the start of world war II and what happened then.

90% sure its the same guy. He's not an editor. He is mentioned as chair of the Jewish Leadership Council. which is what it says on the businessman's LinkedIn too

United fans genuinely think they will nick Tuchel off of us. 

Them...Carragher...Rio...

Fuck. 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.
