Roman Abramovich hands over ‘stewardship and care’ of Chelsea football club

[neil999]

I definitely think the only fair thing to do is relegate them and just have 2 more relegation spots

 

[Bristol Blue]

So, no Chelsea fans when they play us at goodison?

When Tuchel leaves does that mean Boris will be their new manager.

They could still be sold I guess be but the proceeds frozen? I haven't seen it said that they cant be sold anywhere - happy to be corrected.

The club as an asset is frozen. Under the current license terms there are no specific exceptions like there are for other activities. So the government would need to issue a new / change the current license to allow the sale of the club.

 

[Pabbers]

Can they sell merch and matchday food & Drink ???

 

[EverTheOptimist]

TV and broadcast revenues will still be paid but frozen.

Wow that's a big one, they have no money coming in now.

Can players rip up contracts now?

 

[EverTheOptimist]

Can they sell merch and matchday food & Drink ???

Catering yes.

Merchandise no.

 

[Pabbers]

"Special Dispensations" inccoming....

Only the home club gets the money for league games so I assume they can still travel away, in theory

I've saw a few journalists say the sale is on hold

We would be selling the tickets for that game. Don't see why they couldn't have away fans, as Chelsea don't make money from away sales

 

[ToffeeTim]

I guess that means their players coming to the end of contracts like Rudiger, Azpilicueta, are going to leave

 

[Simon Buttle]

Also we should probably forget about looking at any of their youngsters at the moment seeing they can't buy/sell.

 

[Parker]

Off you pop you daft racists

Unless they have any young players heading to the end of contracts

I don't see the sanctions on the club as a whole lasting forever though
