Manxst Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 5 minutes ago, Heron said: Is my interpretation right that he still owns the club but it is currently under the control of Chelseas Trustees? So presumably this means he cannot bank roll them personally but they can continue to function via their own commercial revenues? No reason why he can’t bankroll them as usual. He’s still the owner after all. This is just about long term decision making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 12 minutes ago, Manxst said: He can sell if he wants. He’s not listed under sanctions. Whether anyone would buy them in the current market at the price he’d want, is a different matter. As for ‘Russia’, he’s in a protracted legal case after being called “Putin’s ATM” in a book, and he was also named by MPs on Tuesday as being one of 35 oligarchs identified by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny as one of the 'key enablers' of the 'kleptocracy' run by the country's president Vladimir Putin. He might not be ‘Russia’, but he’s certainly got extremely strong links to Putin. edit- it’s been stated that he doesn’t want to sell. Jeez.. it's almost as if PIF's ownership of Newcastle United isn't unprecended. Ooops, whataboutism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiago Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It's worth considering that Abramovich hasn't done any of this for Chelsea's benefit, but rather his own. The majority of English clubs have been vocal in support of Ukraine, and Chelsea will likely wish to echo those sentiments. Putin won't be best pleased if his associate's club indirectly criticises him by showing support for an enemy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
