League rules also say that in order to host a match the club has to allocate X percentage of seats to away fans. They should hit Chelsea with points deduction after points deduction for breaching the rules.
Would imagine it's because they are terminating a contract and waited until the government decided it had the evidence to sanction before they pulled the plug. Btw if the merchandise shop is shut, where are they going to get shirts that don't say 3 on them from? Looking forward to hearing what haverts and Lukaku think of Travelodge breakfasts.
I dont understand the limiting expenditure on travel to away games surely spending money is devaluing the Russian asset not adding to Russian wealth. 3 pulling their sponsorship 1 hour before kick off makes it a bit tricky for Chelsea to play without their logo on the shirts and as said above how are they going to buy replacements anyway with their assets frozen - wonder if Norwich will lend them their away kit
they played with their "3" logos tonight and to be honest so they should the rest of the season unless 3 pay for them removed none of the people involved within the club bar the owner have done anything wrong, and that's not proven yet what if 3 said to every uk based chelsea fan with a logo'd shirt they'll replace it for free, cost them a few k but the free "we're good" publicly is worth more
A couple of thoughts. Firstly none of those within the club own it so if they go an extra few hundred quid into debt due to having to remove 3s logo it's not really anything to do with them. Secondly everyone who works for Chelsea has profited from corruption and dodgy money. We've all known for years about abramovich and they still chose to take his money every week so it's hard to really have much sympathy for them as harsh as that may sound. Got much more sympathy for employees of clubs like bury than clubs like Chelsea really.
TalkSport this morning reported that Abramovich could simply walk away from the club, even though the club owe him £2b, like the report said what’s £2b to Abramovich
