How come Usmanov is sanctioned but not Abramovich?

Probably because Abramovich actually has a proper Accountant/Laundering Expert moving his money about whereas Usmanov has Moshiri and we have all seen how much of a pigs ear he has made of running a football club, so no doubt a paper trail or mistakes have been made with that. Nothing would surprise me with Farhad tbh.

Not enough donations to the Tories

And Chelsea are from down South far more fashionable and one of the sinister six who tried to destroy football, so it's only fair their owner is given preferential treatment, think of the fans. Meanwhile the financial noose tightens around our ballsack.

Because it's got nothing to do with Putin or the war, or logic. It's just random lashing out, by people to make themselves signal their virtue.

Germans took his yacht...Germany!

I watched this probably 8 months ago..

BBC Two - Putin, Russia and the West, Taking Control

2001: Putin gives a prophetic warning about Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Taliban.

www.bbc.co.uk

Lads, if you can do documentaries, I’d recommend watching it.

In one scene Putin is sitting at a table of Oligarchs to resolve some trade disputes and he’s annoyed.

He summoned them because they were stalling on signing an agreement or something. He makes one guy get up and come and sign it there and then. The bloke says he hasn’t got a pen, and Putin pulls one out and hands it to him.

He signs it then walks off and and Putin calls him back and says “you still have my pen”.

Mentalists.

The guy your talking about Oleg Deripaska was the richest bloke in Russia at the time as well.

Former Tory MP and current Lord Greg Barker was Chairman of his company and Mandelson and Osborne holidayed on his yacht

No idea.

Hes a murdering scumbag though. Forget Putin, this fella should be in the dock.

Yes I am.

 

[Simon Buttle]

They haven’t.

They have, it's under the German Port Authority and has been disabled and covered in huge white sheets, it's going nowhere. Usmanov has also had all his assets frozen and can't travel to the UK. Plus Farhad seems to be doing a runner from him (well all his companies)

 

[Davideeyore]

Just another average day at the club.

 

[Azza]

Yes I am.

Ah okay well you better inform the White House and the US Justice Department task force about that.
