    Personally I think it'll be funny to see how they get on with no money, but I don't want to see any club go under. We live in interesting times...

    "Season ticket holders can still attend games they have tickets for but the club can not now sell any more tickets for games. The club's merchandise shop will be closed."

    Tourists welcome to KPF! Tickets available from £99.
    Scum shirts on sale in the QPR shop, £199.

    Priti Patel as interim manager, please.

    I hope they let the sale go through, apparently there are interested non Russian parties, and confiscate the proceeds which should all be used for arms for Ukraine.

    Basically much of Chelsea’s success has come from the money gained through the owner’s close financial ties with a murderer.
    Takes away the shine of their trophy cabinet.

    I don't want to see any club go under, but if it had to be any club, I'd love it to be Chelsea. I'd also love to see them drop down a few divisions...

    so if they cant sell tickets, could we see an FA cup semi-final at wembley with only one side of the stadium filled? surely the FA wont allow that to happen - although it would be funny AF.........or we could see 7 dodgy penalties given to 'boro when they play the 6th round to make sure they win, which would be even funnier

    Don't get me wrong, Chelsea trying to fill their stadium in the Championship/League one would be great karma.

    How does this affect the 700 odd players they have out on loan?

    This is going to be great entertainment. Gasp at the number of transfer requests! Marvel at Tuchel going back to PSG! Thrill at the empty seats! Step back in awe at the colossal self pity of the scummers!

    Best thing Ken Bates did for that club was to ensure the ground isn’t wholly owned by the Russian.

    Too little l, too late. Alarm bells should ring for any oligarch money. How can a 30 something, living in a communist state, become a multi-billionaire legitimately?

    FA / Gov happy to turn a blind eye when it suits. All a bit similar to FFP, I suppose.

    I know this isn't the music thread but I think the title says it all (regarding this thread not the world situation)

    If they can't sell merchandise, then how long before the sponsors start to pull the plug.

    It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of scum.<laugh>
