Completely unrelated ofc. The ambiguity of that statement alludes to some truth in yours. Here's the license permissions (not sure if giggs): What a mess.

Wullie Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can't believe Abramovich's plan of throwing the club over to Emma Hayes like a hot potato didn't work legally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely before even more so now that we are weaning ourselves of the small amount of Russian oil we purchase, the Mid East is more important than ever.

STM Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 My guess is that Chelsea will get sold but it will be very protracted and RA will have no say in where the club goes. I only really care about the footballing side of things. I want them to be in as much turmoil as possible, so that there is one less horse in the race in 2 years time. They won't be signing any players in the summer, which will be an absolute killer for them. You can't stand still when you are in the top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Looks like the Americans are winning out The sanctioning of Roman Abramovich is set to spark a shootout between three American-led groups who are bidding to save Chelsea from the threat of financial armageddon. It is understood that Raine have received around 150 enquiries from individuals or groups claiming to be interested in buying Chelsea, but that, so far, three have emerged as the most serious. American billionaire Todd Boehly, together with Hansjorg Wyss and another businessman, have made an official bid for Chelsea between £2billion and £2.5bn, which remains on the table and is being treated as a serious, realistic proposal. The other two parties who are being treated as the most serious bidders are the Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs baseball team, and the owner of the New York Jets, Woody Johnson.

The Bonk Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 5 minutes ago, Thiago said: Can someone condense for me what this means short term? Operationally, they are limited and can only fund costs associated with day to day operation. No player transfers in or out, no contract renewal or sponsorship renewal. £500,000 budget for home matchday expendidture. £20,000 for away games. Depending on when the takeover happens, FFP could come for them (probably won't). Expect new owners to sell some of their loan brigade when that happens. Broja to NUFC, please.

STM Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) In fact, that will make selling the club much easier won't it? If the club go into administration, they don't need to worry about RA getting any money at all. Worst that will happen will that they will get kicked out of the champions league spots. Better off taking administration this season. Edited March 10, 2022 by STM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Funny as fuck reading twitter and seeing people say "now go after Newcastle and City." Are they that thick that they don't see the difference in relationship between the UK and Saudi compared to the UK and Russia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely of all the NFL franchise owners you don't want, it's Woody Johnson, given the state of the Jets? And I say that as a Bears fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
