Chelsea

[wiw]

Unless they need a signification cash injection from their 'owner'

Perhaps Doubtful though...they've had years to hoover up every player under 15 and send all 3,000 of them on loan or sell for profit, build revenue, get sponsorship deals. They're self-sufficient now

[frank the tank]

not sure they are self sufficient to be honest......

plus, although players who are already there might just keep their heads down and be professional, some of them won't. Let's say things go bat**** between USA and Russia, then surely it would be difficult for someone like Pulisic to play for them.

Also, good luck attracting ANY new signings. Just not going to happen. Let's say they wanted to sack off Lukaku and sign Haaland, surely no top player is going to risk their own "brand" by signing for them. Similarly with Rudiger, Christiansen etc......they are out of contract in the summer, why the **** would they extend now?

Full self sufficient I'd say. Well apart from that 1.5B they borrowed

BBC gossip, but from the telegraph...

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich could be open to selling the club, with bids expected to arrive this week.

What would that mean for the £1.5 bn loan?

I would presume that any prospective buyer would have to pay it off. It certainly looks like Abramovich's ownership of Chelsea has served it's purpose now.

The dirty money turns into clean money doesn't it, if Roman writes-off the loan and then pockets the takeover money?

Or have I been watching too much Ozark...

And he can have it in Rubles at pre invasion exchange rates.

Mental... How much time do we give him to cash in before we decide his assets need to be seized?

I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.
The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club. Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

Thank you,

Roman


That will be Putins hitmen out for ROman now.
