Cheatski are still scum

they’ll still have to be numbered and have the pl logo

Nike won't pull out they have zero morals or ethics

Thats a very good question. Maybe just play in shirts with their logo removed?

Were you talking of ffp? You might have quoted the wrong post.

Ffp is nothing to do with debt. Spurs have £1bn debt. People have mortagages. Debt isn't an issue.

Ffp is just you are limited on how much you can spend on players compared to your income. Most of chelseas debt was from before ffp was introduced.

It is massively flawed. But still.

Ah yea I see that angle now thanks.

They halted sales in russia the other day (not chelsea kits). Can't sell chelsea shirts. We'll see.

And to think I scoffed at those on this board who said we'd finish ahead of Chelsea this season...

Couldn't happen to a nicer shower. I probably hate Liverpool and Woolwich more but I have some respect for them as clubs. Chelsea are a rotten club with rotten supporters who lucked out winning the lottery. I hope it unravels as spectacularly as it seems it might. Odious clams.

Excellent use of the word 'odious'.

I'm loving this, obviously, but surely the Chelsea brand is strong enough to attract a buyer once Abramovich is allowed to sell - or do you think Chelsea's involvement with Abramovitch could potentially muddy the waters for a potential buyer?

Been a Chelsea fan since I was 11, never thought I'd see the day when the club I've loved as a boy might cease to exist

So he must be about 16 then.

I spent most of the late 90s and early 00s convinced they were going to cease to exist.

I’m just hoping Utd don’t have any Russian links. The thought of Luke Shaw playing skins…

There will be buyers. Even leeds got a buyer.

Hope 3 sue.

 

[scaramanga]

Hope 3 sue.

I doubt they will. They just don't want to be paying money to them.

I suspect not paying but Chelsea still advertising for them is their best scenario.

No such thing as bad publicity eh?

I think there was something in their statement about not expecting Chelsea to be able to sort the shirts for tonights game.

It won't be on there for the next game though.

Be interesting to see how Chelsea's top execs and directors react.

Bruce Buck is the well-known lawyer for the club who has been around forever - he's 76 years old now. Probably doesn't have anything better to do with his time so I'd expect to see him stick around but not sure he's anything more than an adorable executive mascot for the real powers at the club:

Eugene Tenenbaum, born in the Soviet Ukraine, is a very close associate of Abramovich and former finance head of Sibneft, RA's dodgy Russian oil company sold back in 2006 for US$13 billion to become part of Gazprom. Currently on the board of EVRAZ, a massive Russian steel maker and a principal supplier of materials to build tanks and other war machines currently shredding Ukraine.

Marina Granovskaia, a Russian superbitch who eats small managers for breakfast. Previously worked for RA at Sibneft(Gazprom) and came to London when Chelsea was bought. Also worked in another RA firm, Millhouse Financial (now MHC) which manages (conceals) the assets of Roman and The Oligarchs and has it's dirty little fingers in all sorts of dirty little Russian pies, including Aeroflot and Prodo, the country's largest agricultural corp.

If there's sanctions on the club, these two need to be chucked out if even the least bit of justice is to be seen to be done. They're deeply linked to much and to many already being subjected to sanctions.

Another board name is an English knob called J. Guy Laurence, who joined Chelsea in 2018, two years after getting fired from Canadian telecom giant, Rogers Communications, for being, as the gossip goes, a strident, pompous blockhead who lost a fight with the Rogers family. His role at Rogers made him a director for the sports entity Rogers partly owns, Maple Leaf Sport and Entertainment, owners of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs, NBA's Toronto Raptors and Toronto FC of MLS. Within two years of his departure, TFC were winning the MLS title and the Raptors the NBA title two years later.

After that, others like David Barnard and the VPs are all basically fartcatchers for the Russians.

Fartcatchers for Russians. Marvelous.

You watch, they'll replace with the slogan.. "We stand by Ukraine" or something equally cringeworthy
