Romans disciples 26 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 The west are targeting Roman for his relationship to Mr Putin . Our golden age is built on Romans leadership and with our bond , remember you are seeing much propaganda . Hopefully he is protecting our great football club from the incompetent weak Johnson. Mother Russia has been Roman's benefactor which has led us to the best club in the world . We must stand together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,335 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Roman was very close to Putin in the past. Maybe that changed in the last couple of years? His daughter posting that the other day is really surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also supports many charity and foundations . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 All of these journalists and pundits baying for the blood of Roman (figuratively) is one thing. It’s almost understandable given the horrible situation in Ukraine. But all these assholes almost begging for action against our club itself are disgusting. Why the fuck should the players, the coaches, the staff, and most importantly the tens of millions of supporters be punished at all? Nearly every one of these billionaire club owners is a shady, scummy fuck. Newcastle were allowed to be taken over by the state that murdered a journalist, ffs. If the UK government somehow, some way punishes the club I’m absolutely done with this sport forever. If worst comes to worst, forcing Roman to sell would suck but it would be understandable. Fucking over everyone else who had ZERO to do with anything is outrageous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west is very corrupt and attacking our glorious club because Roman has legal business concerns in Russia is ethical.. English football is full of evil regimes like City/Newcastle Arabic Islamic fascism, Levy Tottenham endless property , sex peddling West Ham . This seems double standards. Your leader Biden is weak and effete , his cowardice in Afghanistan and no doubt bulling Johnson to take action.

Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I think it probably has come time for Roman to sell honestly. Theres a lot of scummy fucks in the game, but everything related to Putin is tainted now. That includes Roman.

cosmicway 1,333 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The relationship to Putin is tenuous to say the least. He even gave up his Russian citizenship so as not to be associated with Russia. And what about the true Putin boys, Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage ? Sounds like the hype of the century to me. In any anti-Putin country I would accept it as a harsh overreaction but within the logic of the situation. But in Putin's brexit Britain ????

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 He does own the club. Chelsea FC is owned by a company called Fordstam, and Fordstam has borrowed £1.5bn from a company called Camberley International, which is based in the British Virgin Islands, and that company is controlled by Roman Abramovich, so it is already a fairly convoluted structure.

Apparently they think Chelsea itself should be seized and we should be kicked out of the league just because the owner has connections with Putin. The same league that has owners from repressive Arab countries etc… Nothing is going to happen to us. This is Roman protecting the club preemptively. Taking himself out of the spotlight so he isn’t a massive distraction for the remainder of the season. Like I said before. It's shows how much people lack perspective. Seizing a football club is not going to save lives. Ukraine is with their back to the walls because of Putin. And they're talking about seizing a football club like that's going to stop him. Ridiculous. Fernando and nachikethas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans disciples 26 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 We becoming a charity status trust shows the world that our owner is kind , sensitive and benevolent. He gives for no return. I have witnessed his charitable work , in Siberia he funded support for many mining families that were desolate through economic sanctions by the west over Crimean peace policing. , in Israel he has funded settlements , he provides cash for awareness of the dreadful Holocaust that eventually Stalin liberated. What other club would be so honourable ? Levy/Lewis expand property portfolio at the expense of any football success and the evil Glazers suck United dry. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tautvix 1,321 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Abramovich message was very very cold yesterday, he should have distanced himself from any involvement in Russia's government and mentioned Ukraine... Once again, another cold cold message - https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2022/02/27/club-statement-on-the-conflict-in-ukraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) The only people who could buy Chelsea and keep it running as it is (by which I mean investment) are: Ratcliff Ek Bezos Musk The last two are in a space race and don't strike me as people who would want a football club. After that it is investment firms or Nation States. Edited February 27, 2022 by King Kante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the team he supports though. He is a twat who also has a dodgy record in claiming expenses. He billed us for rental expenses when he already owned a penthouse in London.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 16 hours ago, Magic Lamps said: Very sensible move. Roman prevents us to be affected by sanctions and allows for continued operation of the club even if he himself will be targeted. It is however unlikely he will fund us in summer in case sanctions persist, which i consider the base case. So we might be forced to pay for new signings exlusively out of the club's own cashflows. I still don't understand how that prevents us from being sanctioned though? Him transferring the running of the club to somebody else doesn't change the fact that we are still OWNED by him. If they wanted to sanction us that little statement wouldn't stop them, would it? I want to see Abramovich condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine. If he doesn't, I'm all for selling the club.

If sanctions are imposed upon abramovich and the club is taken away from Abramovich, there will remain a clear plan who is in charge. Of course if the club is targeted directly, there is nothing anyone can do. But i doubt that will happen and the little statement puts us out of the firing line a bit i agree with your last statement ofc. Just want the new owner to be someone who is also a football fan and is willing to make a loss if necessary. Ratcliff is known to be a big football fan. The american PE consortiums are usually in there for profit only obviously like the stupid manure owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
