You're right, of course.I don't see why Chelsea should be given any form of dispensation. They are an asset of Roman Abramovich, and his assets are supposed to have been frozen. It's supposed to be illegal for anyone to do business with an Abramaovich owned business in the UK or abroad. They clearly can't function as a football club, so they should be booted out of the league and there should only be two relegation places this season.
London based assset worth billions, this government was never going to allow them to fold. Hell, they even gave their mate Roman a few weeks to sort things out his end. Disgrace.
