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

[Toast]

Modern fans don’t even know how crap Chelsea used to be.
Bet you could show them old pics of Stamford Bridge, with the cars etc and they wouldn’t have a clue where it was !

Got to feel for the fans haven’t you!?

Don’t wish this on anyone, but I’m certain, there will be a way round it, Chelsea won’t go under, Roman will lose his empire though.

That's ok then, glory days thanks to Roman! Can't be bad. Now they'll be sold on the cheap and have piles of cash to invest in their squad, come up smelling of roses.

I think we as Evertonians should think long and hard about whether a benefactors crimes should reflect on a football club that they financially support... just saying.

The fans? They did NAZI that coming!

So as well as having no history they've now got no future.

Well they can take away all our successes over the past 20 years too if they want.

We should be making a move on rudiger Christenson and azilpewqueta

The practicalities of this (like most things that attention deficient idiot Johnson touches) haven’t been thought through have they?

This doing rounds on Twitter and Reddit.

Well Roman is now a majority shareholder in Evraz, the steel company who’s supplying it to the military for the tanks and vehicles, he transferred his shares directly to himself from an offshore company 8 days before the Ukraine invasion. For the government that’s absolutely black and white in terms of being directly involved with the Ukraine war.

Probably isn’t true then, is it?

Harsh on Chelsea, they’ve not committed War Crimes.

The owner has.

Government found a smoking gun.

That steelmaker keeps being reported as well, looks like it shows his symbiotic relationship with Putin is still strong and shows he's enabling the war effort as well.

The dots connect, government acted swiftly.

Swiftly?

They’ve taken nearly 2 weeks to sanction Abramovic.
