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

[Moderatelywarmwater]

Why is it in the best interest of the club for him to sell?

It's official.

Now that's an owner right there. Well done from him.

Wonder what he means by all the victims. Doesnt necessary mean Ukrainian.

Cos he's gonna fund Putin but feel a little bit better than he left some money to charity

It's not from what I can see. Always seemed like an expensive hobby for him, has an admiration for the club, so he's basically just taking his train set home without anything in return.

The romantic guy that I am feels he's doing it so Chelsea don't get dragged into whatever he's linked with on the back of him.

He's been a bit of a recluse the last few years anyway

It's all nonsense. Same as the argument that our titles are meaningless because of insert reason here. They aren't meaningless to us.

Anyway, size isn't everything. So my wife tells me, & she doesn't lie.

Mostly because of rules against Russian oligarchs. He was no longer a british resident and had pulled the new stadium build as a result.

It’s all going to the help the Oligarch charity

That’s what you think

Yeah but surely it's just posturing as when the conflict dies down and sanctions are lifted etc he can just decide he doesn't want to sell anymore and claim he couldn't find a buyer

Looks like he is selling to me.

 

[anton66]

Ive always liked him tbh and hes made everyone look very stupid now who say hes pro putin…

He’d be far too scared to slag off Putin with his murderess assassins around the world.

Sky reporting Roman Abramovich will sell Chelsea & donate proceeds to victims of war in Ukraine .

I mean , I'm not too clued up in all the facts in whats going on , but in my opinion this is an excellent act from the guy .

Wasnt he only a recluse becuase he had no Visa or something?

I think he is selling his asset before it gets seized.

It wouldn't surprise me to see us go up for sale if we stay up come the end of season. That's assuming the conflict continues long term along with sanctions etc. Are there any multi billionaire Saudis left?

Hopfully we do, need to get shut of Moshiri and Usmanovs war chest is not only dry, but we shouldn't touch it anyway. in fact maybe he knew it was coming since he pulled the plug a while ago.
