I assume that this slant is that May, if she and Parliament go all out against Russia over the spy poisoning, etc, may do things like seize or freeze Abramovich's assets here in the UK, or revoke his residence permit, etc. Abramovich is thick as thieves with Putin for ages, so it could get ugly. the wes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe 10,861 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 31 minutes ago, the wes said: I know But the government can freeze his financial assets or take away Roman visa to live in the uk This situation is quite strange. Granted, I'm not briefed on details, but I read a quote from May not long ago where she said that the poisoning was most likely organized by Russia (speculation? proven?). As far as I know the investigation is still ongoing? Yet UK's government has already convicted Russia and drawn up punishments really quickly. I also heard that near that town is some kind of center for chemical weapon research, is this true? On the surface, to a casual yet critical observer like me, this case sounds strange. Question to UK politics experts on here: Would your prime minister have anything to gain by fucking off Russians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've won the battle with myself to keep this polite so I'll just say that I hope yours is not a widely held opinion among Chelsea fans, and that we need to avoid sounding like spoiled brats.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Just another billionaire who happened to care about the progress of the club throughout. Fresh change is probably required to get Chelsea on the right start after 11-12 years of not knowing what the hell the club's vision really is. Still have no clue today. zekinjo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Doonican 4,186 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Look at the bigger picture the reason that English football is so massive is indirectly because of Abramovich. Do you think the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth and Brighton would be in the top tier of football on the budgets and crowds they used to have?. Since 2003 yes Chelsea were the club who got given the golden goose so to speak but the TV deals and rewards have benefitted every other club who have found themselves in the Premier League. Man City being the obvious one but Spurs before 2003 were a mid table club now there a force and moving into a 60,000 stadium would that have happened before Roman came would it fuck. There have been some real shitheads who have bought football clubs since and have ruined them but the blame there is firmly at the F.A's door with their fit and proper persons rule. I can't believe there are fans saying stupid things like get Roman out and get the Arabs in no wait actually I can because they had never heard of Chelsea till 15 years ago.

And there is history the way Hollywood imagines it, as a single story line in which the right move by the tsar or the wrong move by the general changes everything. Most of us, deep down, are probably Hollywood people. We like to invent “what if” scenarios--what if x had never happened, what if y had happened instead?--because we like to believe that individual decisions make a difference: that, if not for x, or if only there had been y, history might have plunged forever down a completely different path. Since we are agents, we have an interest in the efficacy of agency.” Louis Menand I am grateful what Roman, managers and players have done but when I think about our fans, the buzzing atmosphere at the bridge, the history and the location of this club I feel so optimistic about Chelsea. Conte has done that, Roman will appoint this, that player missed that chance makes a difference today but in the long term the storm is still very strong and our rivals seem like leaves to me.
