His hope is that the sanctions get lifted.

I'm sure i read somewhere that usmanov was appealing the sanction decision on him. No idea where though

I'd happily welcome American ownership as long as they had a successful background in sports franchises over the pod.

Which won't matter in the slightest mate, we still wouldn't be able to be sponsored by any company associated with Russia - which basically all his are.

Also the sanctions appeal is to the EU court - Brexit means it will have no influence on British sanctions policy. Same as the US have seperate sanctions list so to does Britain.

It's why Abramovic just sold up - he could have (rumour says he is appealing his too) appealed - but again it would have had zero actual effect on the situation at Chelsea - hence why he saw the writing on the wall.

Policy is to drive any Russian influence out of the league - makes me very very wary thst if Moshiri tries to keep control.then we will see other things happening in terms of 'penalties' applied, as there will be external pressure placed upon the league at high levels. I can guarantee that.

I agree.

The only caveat is, if hes not sanctioned in EU makes it s lot easier to transfer assets, and will put pressure on UK as war drags on.

Given he wont change the management team, it's good he goes. But Kaminskys team were completely the wrong people. Complete chances and we may have been in a worse situation.

Yes. Its worrying.

There is a chance that AU gets sanctions lifted.

As a further footnote, any appeal against UK sanctions would be heard by the UK high court - the same court that's just ignored all jurisprudence and rules that Assange will be deported to the US (absolutely shocking travesty that is)

EU sanctions not UK or US ones

It doesn't mate - anything connected to trying to get money into this club under the ownership as present will be scrutinized beyond belief.


Personal opinion - the Russian investing in football days are over full stop, worlds changed now and won't be changing back for a very long time.

Russian money will not be going into anything in the Anglosphere for decades.

Hahahaha flapping a bit here are you that Mosh Man is gonna get replaced with someone that has a clue about running a football club?

Thats Sir Farhad to you.

Why would we end up in administration? It's not like he's strapped for cash, he just wanted to share the load. I think he'd rather sell us below market value than call in the administrators.

Well if he ain't paying the bills...

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

100% NOT True.

Spill the beans lar

 

[Chrismac]

[Kris75]

Great idea. Salt n pepper squid for me with egg fried rice

He appealed to the European Court, the case was reviewed last week and his appeal was denied.
