Roman Abramovich Thread

Apparently Marina has confirmed via her LinkedIn today that she'll leave the club when it's sold.

The most powerful woman in the world, as she was branded. With a proper Director of football they could have formed some team. Business wise, she was a different class.

If we get a shit owner we'll let our voices be heard, dont worry about that - it'll make the Glazer protests look like a picnic

I wonder how long until Roman buys a club in Portugal and Marina is running it?

[Superblue 6,331]

I've seen a number of people on forums and social media, especially in recent years, be critical of Marina and believe we'd be better off if Roman sold the club.

We're going to now see if this rings true.

I have my doubts, but I will stay open minded for now and whoever does end up buying the club and the management structure put in place will be given my full support initially.

Entire board room would then need a reconstruction if that is the case. Start by appointing that ex Barca bloke as Technical director.

The deadline for bids set for March 15th.

Is there any Arab state that has yet to dip into the football world? UK government and the football governing body is perfectly fine with them buying and owning PL clubs.

Kuwait and Bahrain.

According to Matt Law, some prospective buyers of the club plan to try and persuade Marina to stay at the club.

If this is indeed true, even if it wasn't to come to fruition, it does fill me with a little more confidence over who might come in and buy the club that they're at least aware of the current surroundings within the club and areas that help make it successful.

Yeah she was good, would be good to retain her.

Quote

 

Mansour is another man mentioned as a conceivable proprietor of Abramovich’s empire.

He holds the position of chief executive of Man Capital, a section of his family’s enterprise, the Mansour Group.

As highlighted before, the Egyptian clearly follows Chelsea on a fan basis, possibly giving him leverage above the other interested suitors.

What supporters of the Champions League holders really want is someone who puts football first before finances.

If Mansour can ensure and prove that, then he will be welcomed into the family with open arms.

I don't see anything suggesting it?
