Heres my theory. Romans back hander mates in govt gave him the heads up this was coming, hence the fire sale last week. But im thinking perhaps that two week window wasnt to save Chelsea being snatched from him, it was so he could get what he could out of the country and he basically used the chavs to save or move the rest of his wealth out. Its wild, but i like it.
British Government must not annoy Roman Abramovich, he may not write off £1.6 loan as a result sink Chelsea.
Government would almost certainly confiscate that £1.6bn, and thus essentially writing off the debt themselves. Whoever government sells Chelsea to, Chelsea will start operations by being debt free. (But with less money coming in than out).
Just make sure you stay hydrated. That's a lot of fluid to be losing in one day. Make sure you don't run out of champagne.
PSG is like an arm of the entertainment industry that happens to play football. They have special Air Jordan clothing range and recently signed up with Christian Dior to design their players 'official wardrobe' which includes cashmere coats and leather shoes with insoles embossed with each player's shirt number. When you're being treated like film stars it must make it hard to concentrate on your day job.
Was really hoping to meet them this year in the cl, wed have 8 nilled them in both legs from what i saw last night.

The statement reads: "Chelsea Football Club has been advised that its owner Roman Abramovich has been sanctioned by the UK Government. "By virtue of his 100 per cent ownership of Chelsea FC plc and affiliated entities, Chelsea FC would normally be subject to the same sanctions regime as Mr Abramovich.
Chelsea will be able to spend more than 20k to meet match travel commitments, but will have to run any cost over 20k to the government for approval to ensure nothing is going to Roman. So the next European game will have travel booked through Roman Holidays Ltd at a cost of about £1.5b
Pundits and media outlets suggesting the fans are being punished because they can't buy tickets. Pretty sure Chelsea can give them away if they wish, they just can't sell them
