Fake News

 

 

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.

Apparently hes going to carry on with the rebuild!!

FFS make yer minds up. He cant be selling the place and rebuild us. Unless of course hes just a really nice chap wanting to do us a favor and that wouldnt keep his money long!

Sources pointed out that the Sunday Times has claimed that Abramovich rejected an offer for a minority stake from an American private equity firm called Silver Lake Partners.

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

You've not paid attention if you think Chelsea fall without Roman Abramovich... he's made them golden\

Decent piece by Martin Samuel.

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.
