Good article there from Peter Oborne. Basically underlining how the Tories and right wing Labour figures played ball with the oligarchs and politically attacked the likes of Corbyn who had targeted them.

Now the scumbags are pointing the finger at everyone else over Putin and destroying the football clubs and punishing the working class people who devote their lives to them.

Great find that Dave and totally agree with what is said
 
That Matt Laws suggesting the sale of the club is going to happen and go through pretty quickly. I bet loads of dodgy stuff been going on in the background.

Great find. And exactly why I wont give an inch to the hypocrites calling for sanctions when its convenient. They've lost that right as far as I'm concerned. They had their chance, and bottled it.
 

If I were looking to buy A football club I wouldn’t touch Chelsea FC with a 10 foot pole. When it comes to players, how are they even going to get paid with their current contracts? Financial suicide for any new owner I reckon.

Maybe it's more that they can see the utter humbug from politiciains in parliament destroying their football club who are punishing everyone else but their own rats they lobby in parliament for?

Then they should except the sanctions in principle, and then ask the questions of what about you humbugs? Instead they continued this strange idolization of Roman that is normally reserved for a player. Of course will have nothing to with £2 billion spent on players and 20 odds pieces of silverware.. Fan groups can get themselves very professional when they want rid of an owner. And having lived and worked in and around Cobham up to 2009 for 15 years, can comfortably say they have good spread of fan who is business owning and or professionally educated. I'm curious as to why they have not been at the forefront of wanting fid of Roman. Crikey even West Ham groups could be heard in the media and own fans booing and criticizing their cat kicking player.

If the British government (and all others in Europe) suddenly discovered moral compass, then they should also deal with Newcastle, City, Psg.
Whats the difference between Abramovich and fricking Saudis bombing Yemen for years (with Western weapons), butchering journalists to pieces, prosecuting LGBTs, thousands of workers dying while building fancy new stadiums in Qatar..........I don't like Chelsea, but [Poor language removed] me, what a hypocrisy

You've answered your own question there mate (with the bit in brackets).

As you say. Rank hypocracy.

They're football fans mate, not political scientists.

Why does a Chelsea fan (or Everton fan for that matter) give a flying one about where the cash comes from? ALL of these PL clubs are rolling in dirty cash...there is no clean cash.

Chelsea and Everton are being punished by the hypocrites in parliament who were - as Mandelson stated years ago - "extremeley relaxed" about these oligarchs setting up here and laundering their cash.

It's nonsense for you or anyone else to be pointing the finger at a group of football fans for wanting to protect their own football club from the decisions of those lying duplicitous scumbags in parliament.

Great article that.

Us and Chelsea are being absolutely shafted by all of this.

Shame on anyone wanting EFC to be damaged whilst the corrupt Govt/FA/PL allow Saudi murderers and human rights abusing UAE royals to throw their dough around other clubs.
 
3 frontrunners are the 3 American consortiums, no one else in the running according to leaks from Raine Group who are in charge of the sale process.

Swiss/Yank (La Dodgers)

Ricketts family ( Chicago Cubs)

Woody Johnson (NY Jets).

Fantastic news it won't be a State of someone super disgustingly rich.

American owner model in sports is Sustainable Sustaining Sustainability.

The comedown from Chelsea fans is going to be epic viewing the next 10 years.?

I read that, Alan Shearer has been sportswashed.

That's the thing with sportswash teams, these despicable people using their subjects wealth lavishly instantly get millions of people duped supporters defending their owners past and present history from any criticism.

Amazing how all of a sudden on Twitter 1000s of Newcastle fans are experts in the Sunni/ Shia divide in Islam and how killing 250k Shia in Yemen is justified.
