Legitimacy depends on the laws of the country you’re in, not a moral compass. All the Oligarchs are legitimate, but many are morally reprehensible.
Chelsea fans think he’s a standup guy who’s looking after his most prized asset, talk about delusional-
Abramovich still owns the share capital of the club and now the Trust will manage the club. In theory that will mean the Putin lover will play no part in the running of the club which in practice I very much doubt. The club could still be siezed until a share transfer takes place. It’s up to Abramovich and the club whether he would claim his £2b back.
There was 1 oligarch not mentioned in the 35 an Alexander Termako maybe because he as donated £1.3 million to the Tory party and paid £100,000 for a Bronze bust of David Cameron placed in Londons exclusive Carlton club, David Cameron was P.M. when Termako got British citizenship, he held a senior post in the Russian Defence Ministry in a past life.
The government should block the sale, otherwise what's the point of sanctioning him? He'll just walk away with all his money.
Done more for the game ? What exactly has he done apart from try to store players . Buying trophies isn’t doing more for English Football than anyone else as he infers . The only people in England that will miss him is Chelsea fans so that’s says how much he’s done for English Football .
We used to compete with Chelsea. More often than not, we beat them. Long before we beat them in a one off FA Cup quarter final. Sods law, they get billionaire ownership who inject a billion then leave without wanting their billion back. And we get billionaire* ownership who borrow £750k from the club they bought. * Yeah, I know. As if.
And Chelsea happens to be in one of the most expensive property areas in the World . What’s worrying is he seems to be trying to sell everything he has in London , maybe before his mate drops something nasty on it
I know you jest but there is something chilling in his statement "I hope to visit Stamford Bridge one last time"!!!!
Don’t panic Mr Wainwering!.......as for Abramovich, he probably come away with nothing from this sale, he will be sanctioned and he will know that......it will come out shortly I reckon
