I don’t expect it to happen, nor do I mean now but it easily could be were something to occur that could cause a knock on effect. It’s exactly the time of issue people were raising about being happy to be taken over but also wary of having the Saudis as owners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as RA can prove he’s not going to receive any money for the sale of the club they WILL allow him to sell the club. Can see it coming a mile off.

Think they were reluctant to previously unless they had irreputable proof of the relationship between him and Putin. Without that, they were rumours of being sued etc. I’m guessing investigations have turned up a direct link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 English football should hang its head in shame that they've allowed this to happen. Asleep at the wheel in allowing him to buy in the first place, which opened the door to all sorts of spurious people buying football clubs, with us at the top of the list. Any situation where English football fans are banned from buying tickets because of their owner's influence in complex geopolitics is an indefensible one, it's a massive failure of the game's governance. Nation states and dodgy politicians, from Abramovich to Shinawatra to PIF shouldn't be owning our local football teams because this is the potential consequence laid bare. Anyone giving it "Hahaha it's Chelsea" needs to take their head out of the sand imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem arose long before, it arose when we didn’t designate football clubs are protected entities which can’t be bought and sold, instead we treated them as a commodity like we have done with everything else. highest bidder wins and invariable the highest bidder has hands covered in blood. To be frank football is the least of our problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Maximin Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 1 hour ago, r0cafella said: Does anyone work in this area? I’d love to know how it works in terms of legality. from what I understand he owns the holding company which owns Chelsea, this holding company isn’t registered in the UK, how can they stop him transferring his shares in the holding company thus changing the owner of Chelsea? Kind of do yeah. I work in a bank and had to read about a few big name oligarchs last year to escalate any key info the bank didn’t know. I understood he would be able to do that based in the OFAC sanctions I read about as that’s how other sanctioned oligarchs still had loose ties to the bank’s clients. Not sure if these rules are much stricter though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
