Throw Chelski out of the League.

Post by Claretincraven » Thu Feb 24, 2022 5:48 pm

Seems fair to me.
Abramovich is a big pal of Putins and has admitted using money to buy political favours.
Kick them out.

very silly, never going to happen BUT you would imagine the new sanctions will make it extremely difficult for Abramorich to fund signings or even sell the club

Chelsea funds should be frozen.

If they freeze his assets, I suspect Chelsea might not be able to pay wages.
Also Arsenal might be in difficulty.

These assets will be frozen for years.

Chelsea as a club won't be the same after today.

Pulisic and Barkley might be wishing they’d joined us now 😀

Assuming Abramorich owns Stamford Bridge then that could easily seized under the new sanctions

He’s a friend of Putin is he not? Certainly photos of them together?

You’ll have to imagine as this progresses this could prove a genuinely existential threat to Chelsea as far as them being a ‘top’ club.

Bournemouth's Russian is a British citizen, so I doubt they could do anything even if they wanted to.

Already mooted. Could be issues there.

Surely any Russian billionaire, in a supposedly communist country, as had their wealth initially from Kremlin friends.

They shouldn't be thrown out of the league, but any club with Russian directors should have their assest frozen and not be allowed to put even a penny into the club.

It ain't Chelseas fault. You don't get to pick and choose who you want to buy you.
If they do freeze his assets, then Chelsea will be punished enough if they can't spend big in the market.

I don’t see any reason to sanction Chelsea as a club but I think most of the directors should be immediately be banned from football activities and potentially be put under house arrest… the owner should be immediately arrested as a national security risk.

Looks like he escaped today’s sanctions.

Did he put money in the Tory coffers?

There is significant amounts of Russia -traceable funding in Tory and Labour coffers. That gravy train must end immediately.
Completely agree that all Russia traceable money/assets within UK banks, investment funds and business should be frozen and this may result in the collapse of some football clubs and other organisations.
We are in the precipice of a World War. Global politicians have pussy footed around for long enoug.

Isn’t he an Israeli citizen, based in Israel and travels on an Israeli passport?

Who will throw Chelsea out? Nobody. Right through our society the so called Elites are weak and useless and that most certainly includes the FA. if they had any balls or morals or were ethically inclined our National team would not be going to Qatar. But they are.

No one calling for that. Chelsea is a legitimate English club. Ownership and funding is a different issue.

Certainly has "in kind" with freebees and hospitality in the past.

Also in the past... lets just say there has been huge leniency to his planning permission issues. property deals etc.
Also security costs. Airport fees, ... yar di yar etc.

Oh and TAX ...

Personally I can't make my mind up? :? :roll:
