milka 3,393 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 BREAKING: Roman Abramovich will receive bids to buy Chelsea this week with parties believing that, for the first time, he will consider a sale. Roman Abramovich has previously turned down offers worth £2.2 billion for Chelsea, while the club’s debt to him is £1.51bn which he would almost certainly expect to be covered. (Telegraph) #CFC For the first time during his ownership, potential buyers believe he would be willing to sell the club. Preventing the club being part of sanctions. Club being prepared for an eventual sale… # Chelsea have previously insisted the club is not for sale, but the mood from the outside at least is changing and there is a feeling that Abramovich could be left with no other option, with his resolve to hang on to the club to be tested.

When countrys freeze assets, they are returned after the sanction is over unless the assets are involved in a crime. Roman should have no need to worry about losing the money the club owes him.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Musk and Bezos would be terrible owners. Both are preoccupied with other,more expensive projects. Also ppl think only bc those two have a huge net worth based on the value of their stock holdings, they would just come and give RA 2bn in cash and continue to bankroll the club out of their own pockets. this is a fallacy. They both notoriously operate with very little cash at hand to keep their tax burden low. Instead they take on Lombard loans and pay them off with the cash flows their investments generate like any good capitalist does once they reach a certain net worth. As there is no visible emotional attachement, I think they would just treat the cub as any other investment. Take a loan, buy the club with it and pay it off with the free cash flow from the club's operations. This means there is litle leeway in the timing of these CFs and the club could not operate as freely in the market as with RA's direct loans. We need someone with lots of cash rather than equity, big football fan, ideally a Chels fan who is willing to accomodate the club's finances, is willing to take a loss and allow for continuity in its management. manpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milka 3,393 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe is among those interested in buying Chelsea, with the financier and industrialist exploring the possibility of buying a leading English football club Ratcliffe told BBC Five Live: "There was some early exchange but we were a significant way apart on valuations. The issue with Chelsea is its stadium. We are all getting older and it is a decade of your life to resolve that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
