Roman Abramovich Thread

[laura90 556]

I don't get this. I would understand if he demanded more money from investors to invest in the team because we are left without defence this season and will be left without midfield the next season due to age and form of midfielders as well as contracts expirations. We may as well sell them this season. We are without half of the team and he is asking money for charity. I know some things are more important but....

Hope this additional demand are smokescreen for further investments.

Our new expected owners need to invest heavily in this team. That has to be taken into consideration.

Is it fair to ask more than 3,5 billions from them? Is it Roman's  way to force them to try to get somebody like  Bezos onboard?

This is taking too long. It's world cup year. We may see all our remaining youngsters and hopless loanees signings  getting a chance with the first team next season.

Isn't he a Man Utd supporter?

I believe he is, but he's also been a Chelsea season ticket holder for a number of years too so I would assume there's some sort of affinity there with the club.

He should have sent the bid back in March🥴

Ratcliffe seemed an obvious player at the time the club was put up for sale but it was shot down, I think by his brother saying the Premier League is far to expensive to invest in.

I'm not sure if that was a smokescreen, or why there has been a change of heart.

The problem is now this has come in so late it's difficult to know whether it's the right bid. I know information has been limited but at least some things have leaked through about all the bids so far to at least build a bit of a feeling across them. No idea what the plan would be here. Will there be significant investment in the squad? Thoughts on Tuchel? Long term plans? Continued investment in Academy and women's teams? Plans with the stadium?

You have to believe this has been well thought through by him and he's been doing a lot of due diligence behind the scenes before presenting this offer. I guess we'll see what Raine and the club make of the bid...

Wonder what his thinking is by doing it this way...

Well, he’s certainly saying the things we want to hear there, huh? Wants to turn us into a proper super club, invest in the squad without caring about profiting, etc.

God knows he has insane wealth. He probably vaults himself to the top of the pile in the eyes of those choosing.

So, Boehly vs Ratcliffe it is. If the UK government is involved at all they’ll probably favor the British-led bid I assume.

Either way, this is awesome for us. The two best prospective owners battling it out. Neither would run the club like Arse or Spuds. We would see proper ambition.
