While I am sure that is what he is told, there is very little reason for Chelsea insiders not to lie about this and deny everything, if it was true. There is huge implications on a potential sale, that they need to shut down rumors of it until it's official. Business editors at The Sunday Times and Jonathan Norcroft are pretty good sources, and to be honest it would make sense, even if Roman loves the club, that he wouldn't want to own such a huge English football club if the country is going to keep treating him like it is.

Also this from the Financial Times.

Go with the Marina negotiation strategy.  They say 2B.  Start with 100K.

This is the reason why most people should be careful what they wish for. Abramovich is the closest owner to a football fan we will ever have. His never shy to admit his wrong and always willing to invest in his club. Outside of Sheikh Mansour and PSG (funded by a whole country) no one else comes remotely close to Roman in terms of spending money on his team.

It did say Ratcliffe had a £2bn offer rejected. I had not seen that before.

I think it is time to sell. The political situation is untenable atm, and will only get worse I fear.

Huge benefit to a sale is we will see the backside of the Sibneft mafia, especially Marina.

I am just going to be utterly patient, as I don't see any other British team of import Ratcliffe would buy. He seems a Chelsea man.

Jim ratcliffe reported saying 

“I am a season ticket holder at Chelsea,” he said. “Have been for years, although I’m a Manchester United fan really. Or was…. It’s not getting any better [at United]. It's gone from bad to catastrophic. Talk about a glass-half-empty.

“If you’ve got the six teams competing at the top of the table – this is last season anyway – you’ve got three who are managed by glass-half-full guys, [Jurgen] Klopp, [Pep] Guardiola and [Mauricio] Pochettino. They get their teams up and energised.

“And then you look at Mourinho. He’s so down. He destroyed Luke Shaw last season. And then you’ve got [Arsene] Wenger who [was] miserable and [Antonio] Conte who was down.”

“The guy I like is [Diego] Simeone,” he added. “I love him.”

Just imagine if we had got Simeone instead of Sarri this season...

 

sheesh....

 

We might not be like Etihad FC, but I would sure take our current administration over that of every other club in the PL.

What a load of bollox. I cant believe it. How the fuck can a whole countries people be blamed for the attack on our own double agent spies.?

We can't really talk can we. We have given MI5 the free hand to commit any crimes they think necessary in our own country. And let MI6 carry out murder and torture.

Why not kick the whole Russian population out of the country if we are going to do it proper?

If I was Roman I'd feel 1 of 2 ways.

Either wamt to spend every penny I had fighting the UK through every court I could

Or do everything in my power to get my own back on the UK and hurt us.

And I wouldn't blame him whichever one he chose.

A perfect example of US hypocrisy.

1996 Time cover (where they openly brag about rigging Russian election for Boris Yeltsin) vs 2017 cover with Putin as Emmanuel Goldstein figure

I wont even get into the Skripal tosh.

Like I said I agree its all very hypocritical. We all know it happens and nothing that I would be told happened would shock me. Just like MI5 helping form C18 for their own purposes.

But I just dont think that a whole countries population - or just the rich people that come from it - should be made to pay when it goes tits up. Sanction the country if you have to, not its people.
