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

If he can't sell it, does that mean all the money invested is now completely lost for him?

Bad news for him but where would the sale proceeds go if so?

It can't be that a new owner(s) would buy it on the cheap, and use saved cash to spend big on transfers.

Bleak times for them.

Their turnover is going to tank, no matchday revenue/merchandise, how are they going to pay the players.

Abramovich had to wire them money last season to pay the players at one time, they really struggled without matchday revenue.

Crazy turnaround.

I can see an agreement for sanctions to be lifted for it to be sold.

This is what I would've thought. He cant benefit from it. Its like an administration.

Be funny if they go the CL final and Chelsea fans cant buy tickets haha

So all the titles they've won, Champions League trophy, FA Cups, all been won under the watch of Putin advisor and now UK Government sanctioned Roman Abramovich. Is this the only punishment they'll receive? What about all the revenue they've gained on the back of all their silverware, etc?

They're not sanctioning Chelsea.

Champions League would be abroad so wouldn’t matter.

Think the big issue would be how they’d get to Paris. £20,000 to ship a team, hotels & equipment.

V confusing... why would he sell if he cant profit?!

We’ll he said before he was only gonna get £80m out of it anyway.

Cause rest would have went to “those affected in Ukraine”… so no idea what would have happened.

That's ok then, glory days thanks to Roman! Can't be bad. Now they'll be sold on the cheap and have piles of cash to invest in their squad, come up smelling of roses.

Having some money is better than having no money if it all goes tits up ?

It is common knowledge about the possible ways and general ways clubs are run but you go into far more specifics than the average person with a view to the 'common knowledge'.

For example, I am a football fan. I don't even know the specifics of Everton's finances or even general stuff and I am a fan of that club. You know the amounts of certain deals, who the subsidiaries are of those companies and who and how the deal came about. That is just a bit too full on, especially if it is your free time you are using to look up all of this stuff, in my humble opinion.

@HongKongToffee uses to know the ins and outs as well. Draw your own conclusions.
