Can the UK government just fuck off for good?

[Superblue 6,331]

Seems very strange that in Chelsea's own statement regarding the sale to Boehly, they officially confirmed that the £2.5bn proceeds for the club will initially be paid into a frozen UK bank account. If this is the case then this news makes no sense as its irrelevant where the money might or might not go if its frozen anyway.

The one part regarding Buck not being the most helpful working with the government is interesting. It either suggests this is a means for them to pressure the club to hurry up and sort details out, and/or to try and pressure the club to remove those with close ties to Roman, such as Buck and Marina.

Or it could just be another PR move by the government to curry favour that it looks like they are proactive and showing zero tolerance.

Also to note there's been no confirmation yet that the premier league has ratified the sale. This is apparently imminent but until then nothing can start to go through anyway.

I'd like to seal this useless, lying, bunch of cretinous politicians into a spaceship and chuck it in the general direction of the Andromeda galaxy. Now I know some of you will feel this is cruel but, even though Andromeda is hurtling towards us at unimaginable speeds, it will still take my little capsule about 4.7 billion years to make the trip. This should be plenty of time for any intelligent life in that galaxy to go extinct and so be spared the pain of having to deal with the morons from Earth.

I do not believe anything which emanates from that bunch of ****s so I will wait for the club statement.

The Telegraph didn't just make this up. Someone told them something which they based this story on even if they are mischaracterising it as they tend to do.

Finishing touches and done deal. Really didn't need all the drama

You have to love this article.

The most important part is that tweet. It's buried in about paragraph 8, almost as if it's a side note of disappointment to the football media.

The main headline? The people working on a £4.25bn sale are getting rewarded with a handsome bonus, as if this isn't the norm on a deal as big as this. Oh how dare they!
