Sorry to interrupt the serious chat.

 

Was just wondering if anyone knows if becoming a member gives you priority access to tickets at the same time as season ticket holders or if season ticket holders get time before members?

 

Strictly talking home tickets as I know away tickets obviously go to season ticket holders as a first priority but the site isn't clear on home tickets.

 

A bit embarrassed that I don't know this [emoji38]

 

 

 

Same time.

Seems Abramovic has put Chelsea up for sale, with talk of him wanting 3bn, I’m sure they owe him 1.5bn and made massive losses despite winning the CL. They also need a new stadium. I’m sure as a brand/business it’s worth maybe 1bn at least, but it shows the value/bargain our owners got in NUFC who in a few years time will surely be worth similar as a brand/business.

No-one is going to buy them at that price given the current Russian association. So they're either stuck with no ownership funding, or going to bought by massive chancers Sunderland style. 

 

Either way it looks like they're going to be reigned back to their natural non-billionaire funded level for a few years. Hopefully (from their perspective) for their sake they've generated enough success to maintain themselves...although i would not be crying myself to sleep if they suddenly didn't have a penny to rub together and went bust.

Anyone else seeing a bit of a narrative change in the media now we're not in the relegation zone. Seems to be more and more chatter about players formerly out of reach becoming more realistic....eg one this morning saying we are ahead of Man Utd for Osihem next season

If the point of owning Chelsea through an alleged associate of Putin was to sports wash Russia's reputation, then they've royally stuffed it up. And by royally, I mean Prince Andrew style.

 

The main point being that nobody is going to pay anywhere near that asking price - not if they want to run it as an actual business. That's one of the reasons they are so in debt to him in the first place.

Chelsea are probably the club I dislike the most in football. Never liked their players, style of football, managers, owner, the area, or their stereotypical fans. I have no sympathy for their situation for those reasons and because whatever happens now, Abramovich's time at Chelsea has been a massive net win for them and their fans have had a mint time with it. 

Having said all that, as a general rule I think it's absolutely shit that any football fans are at the whims of this sort of shit and while we're all enjoying it, we'd be naive in the extreme to think that it won't happen to us.

No one will want to purchase knowing they have to pump in millions of their own money just to keep it afloat as Abramovich does each year, despite winning multiple trophies with the associated prize money etc. Plus the stadium needs serious upgrading/enlarging to keep up with their competitors. Heaven help them if they don’t make the CL one year.

That's exactly it - they have been used as a billionaire's toy for so long. We might be about to find out what happens to the question everyone probably wondered about, i.e. what happens when that ends.

 

Also reckon that, what with the current sanctions, it wouldn't be straightforward buy them and pay Abramovich even if you wanted to. Even though he's not directly under sanctions himself right now, this feels like a panic move thinking it will happen.

Wenger gone - Arsenal in the shitter

Yeah I was offended when I read so many replies to that tweet saying us and then remembered what a shell we've been for the last 15 years. Still couldn't bring myself to do it.

Chelsea have been one of the best footballing teams to watch over the last 2 decades. Not sure what issues with style of play you could have at all.

It's depressing thinking how close Ashley came to destroying the club and the fanbase. The crowd was dead, not just attendance wise but noise and interest levels. People were attending just because.
