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

[anton66]

When all this settlers down - as it will - there'll be a massive resentment amongst Everton fans that'll match or even surpass the resentment felt over our expulsion from European competition in the 80s.

Chelsea fans too.

If we have been robbed of our finances then every penny that comes into this PL should be scrutinised concerning where it came from. And that goes for US capital flouting into clubs as well as Russian, Arab, Thai and Chinese.

Most of London would have to shut down. But let them go after the easy targets.

Chelsea's history dates back to when they were formed in 1905. In the 98 years that followed, prior to Roman taking over, they won a total of 4 major trophies in all that time. Not to mention the numerous times they were relegated. In the last 19 years they've won 5 league titles, 7 FA Cups, 2 Champions Leagues, 4 League Cups, & 2 UEFA Cups. Money certainly does talk when it comes to football.

If the British government (and all others in Europe) suddenly discovered moral compass, then they should also deal with Newcastle, City, Psg.
Whats the difference between Abramovich and fricking Saudis bombing Yemen for years (with Western weapons), butchering journalists to pieces, prosecuting LGBTs, thousands of workers dying while building fancy new stadiums in Qatar..........I don't like Chelsea, but [Poor language removed] me, what a hypocrisy

Chris Bryant is getting death threats from Chelsea fans. That's terrible....

I see the Chelsea fans continue to chant the name of their beloved Russian owner - stupid idiots.

Brilliant politician.

Someone who actually has a backbone in the HoC.

Yeah, if had a backbone he'd turn his attention to Mandelson.

I know its your field; is Mandelson still an MP these days? Or is he in "the other place" now?

I see Rangnik has piped up now. The bloke who took as much Russian money as he could at Lokomotiv Moscow is now saying it’s not just Chelsea but Arsenal and Everton as well with oligarch shareholders (even though Usmanov hasn’t technically owned a single Everton share at any point)

Utter hypocrite.

Yeah, House of Lords.

The United Manager?

We dumped our Russian sponsorship as quick as United did. Arsenal are 100% Merican owned, we are 100% British owned.

Tit.

Well this isn't good for Chelsea.
