No point celebrating a win, we might lose next week. I couldn't give a rat's about RA selling up. He will only be replaced by the next dubious billionaire more than likely.

Guest HTT II Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 In his defence, if I should even say that, he’s been a great owner and I’ve always said it’s not the likes of him, City owners or our own hopefully that are bad for the game, but the likes of Ashley, the Venky’s, the mob at Sunderland et al. Chelsea would be QPR today without Abramovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 He’s obviously been pushed and regardless of if he’s going to cash in whilst he can, he knows sooner or later his hands are going to be tied and that he won’t be able to spend money. I’m guessing he’s also hoping that by doing this and using the words he has said, that he’ll walk away from any asset holding that may come his way.

Tsunami Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 He’s not asking for any loan money back, he does mention net profit will go to this charity. Follow the money, every aspect of the proceeds needs to be scrutinised. He’s getting out while he can in the hope he can take as much money as possible. He’s been a great owner for Chelsea but I guess like our main owner now, he’s a proper wrong ‘un. Already seen one Chelsea fan feeling sorry that this didn’t happen a few months ago as they’d be perfect for PIF….. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 yikes, though finding a buyer for £2-3b with extra costs of redeveloping stamford bridge might be difficult.

Unsure if this applies for takeovers of other already rich clubs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Isn’t writing off that level of spending a breach of FFP? I know there’s something about being able to spend anything you want on infrastructure but there’ll be allsorts in a figure that high. Just seems a bit of a breach that a new owner will start with a clean slate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I've never considered Chelsea an elite club and always suspected once Abramovic went they would fall off and join the likes of us, Villa, Spurs, West Ham and Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) I wouldn't put Spurs amongst the other lot like, and Chelsea have a lot of global appeal now. I can see the top 6 expanding but I think it would take some catastrophic mismanagement for them to revert back to a consistent mid/lower-mid table side.

Jaqen Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 The rest of the league is too poor for Chelsea to fall off too much just now. Just need to look at the race for the top 4 ATM, they all seem to have been fairly shite for most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Suggestions of Chelsea's demise are premature. They have one of the best setups in Europe borne through decades of success. They have top players and their academy is amazing. Even if the investment dries up in the coming years, they have enough of a headstart to continue challenging. Wouldn't be averse to them declining though. Edited March 3, 2022 by LRD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
