Chelsea: Roman Abramovich involvement at club could see them become toxic brand for investors, says sports branding expert

 

Ben Peppi, head of sports services at JMW solicitors, tells Sky Sports News: "There'll be new sponsors who look at Chelsea and go 'if the ownership is still in the hands of Mr Abramovich, we don't want a part of it'. It doesn't send the right message out morally, ethically, socially"

I think we will truly see that on this thing. Ukraine president ask for immediate entrance to the EU. I'm sure this will fall in deaf ears.

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. (Telegraph)

Yeah the best thing he can do. 

He has always cared for the club, I don't think there was a better owner in the world in the short time.

He might lose the club for nothing anyways if they indeed seize it.

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.

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.

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."
