Pretty vague

All seems a bit vague at the moment. Some reports saying this is temporary so potential this is just some legal manoeuvring to stop it being seized as an asset and / or protect his investment. There was some football finance bloke, not the usual idiot that gets basic facts about us wrong every time he posts, saying that if he stayed as owner and his assets were frozen Chelsea could potentially go out of existence very quickly.

He must know sanctions are on the way.

I have a very cynical take on this. Doesn’t the Charity own the stadium? Hasn’t it for years refused to sell to enable development of a new stadium?

It would be great if the club went tits up.

He can just be a donor to the charity now, they can't seize the assets of a charity he donates to. That said, not sure what its charitable aims are

Nothing against the club itself or their fans, but happy to see the back of him. Smug git who is only where he is because he was in the right place to buy the rights to the largest gas reserves in the world. Although anyone would do the same in his position, he's basically appropriated the mutual wealth of 150 million people and bought boats, hotels, some supermodels and some overpriced footballers with it.
Chelsea had been upstarts from the minute they got Hoddle, then Gullit, Vialli, Zola, Di Matteo etc - then Roman stepped in paying comedy money for flops like Torres, Mutu, Crespo, Makalele and Shevchenko. Let's hope they fade back to their rightful station - they were playing second tier whilst we were in the top flight, let's not forget.

Chelsea players fearful for future after UK freezes Abramovich’s assets
The atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room was ‘chaos’ after Roman Abramovich’s hopes of selling Chelsea were put on hold by UK government sanctions
Club sale on hold, no more tickets allowed to be sold, transfers and new contracts banned!

Maybe we'll be able to buy David Speedie again, then.
I don’t think PL regulations supersede UK government sanctions tbh. Even if you’re a member of the Leamington supporters club.

Also at the time wasn’t Torres one of if not the best striker in the league? The value was warrantedI was kinda with you until you called Makelele a flop!

Ha ha ha.....ha ha. Fuck abramovic. Fuck Chelsea. Fuck all the nouveau riche clubs. Fuck the hedge funds and the leveraged buy-outs. Fuck the Premier league and fuck the champions league......
The whole fucking lot is built on stolen or bloodstained cash.

It’s the same situation as the coronavirus season essentially. The PL is obviously going to make an allowance for clubs who can’t meet the letter of the law because of government rules. The only exception I suppose is going to be if they can’t fulfil fixtures.

They could give visiting fans free tickets.

I presume this means Chelsea can't activate JCS's one year extension, leaving him free to leave at the end of the season?

What's the longer term possibility of Abramovich's UK based assets being seized? If i read it correctly they are currently frozen but is that the extent of what can be done with them?
It will be a very odd end to their season now, technically no away fans could be seen as an advantage but weighed againat being seemingly fucked i doubt that's any consolation to them.

This is crazy.
With regards to their team stays at away matches - I've not worked on a Chelsea team stay for a few years but they would happily spend £10-£15k on a team stay 5 years ago so with inflation and the cost of hotels (making money after making nothing for two years due to the pandemic), it's definitely going to alter their match preparation.
Transport costs on top of that as well. Crazy situation.
Could be quite seismic this.

They are permitted 20k per team.

But what I was saying is that their first time will not get what they normally need, for £20k. U23s probably, Womens team and U18s down, yes. But it'll affect their first time and their pre-match preparation.
