Usmanov was always the real owner. FFP may have hindered us for sure, but the war in Ukraine definitely derailed plans that they had been working on for years. So much dirty money in the PL.....yet we back the one murky owner that the government actually decides to take action against. Meanwhile, Roman A walks away having already built Chelsea into the global club that he promised.
What do you mean "yet we back the one murky ow we the government actually decides to take action against". They took action against Abramovic. It's why Chelsea were sold. Everton would have been identical if uzzies name was over the door. Complete nonsense of a post.
 

Looks like the Usmanov story is dropping off the radar again already.

It was the second story on The Guardian earlier, down to sixth now. The Ramsdale thing has taken over as their primary football headline.

They sanctioned Usmanov too. His name might not have been over the door, but looks like we are for sale doesnt it? For an unrealistic price with little hope of a sale anytime soon.

What I mean is other clubs have had dodgy owners. Some big players still do. RA built Chelski over a 20 year period with less competition and rapid success. Whether we like it or not, without that level of investment, very very difficult to compete when you've not been at the top table in 30 years. The sanctions against Moshiri's mate, appalling staff and player recruitment, plus the decision to let the pre 2016 hierarchy continue leading the club day to day appear to have caught up with us.

But we have had that level of investment, one of the biggest spenders since 2016. Just wasted it, that's the difference.
