General Football Nonsense

I agree, wages and transfer fees were levelling out before he came, he sent everything spiralling up again

That said, fair play, he's going to give the proceeds to Ukraine and he's not calling in Chelsea's debts

But it does make you realise how much money he must have to do that...

If he actually does it then it's a hell of gesture. At this point, though, it's nothing but words so I'm going to hold off on giving him any credit until I see it happen. It sounds like the organisation he's pledging the proceeds to doesn't actually exist yet and, with all the shitty things that people have shown themselves capable of over the last week, it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if he was just using this as a ploy to get the UK government to hold off on imposing sanctions long enough for him to sell the club and disappear.

Very sceptical. He could make a huge contribution to Ukraine in a far less roundabout way. Looks like PR to me.

By the time he sends the money to Ukraine, it will likely be fully under Russian control anyway. Another thing: Usmanov is Uzbek not Russian but nowadays nobody is stopping to check the difference.

Abramovich officially sanctioned.

A sale might still possible, but only if Abramovich (and Russia) don't benefit from it - guess this will put his "All proceeds will be donated to victims of the war" statement to the test.

Sponsors already threatening to pull out - not looking good for them.

Stamford Bridge is falling down, poor old Chelsea!

When the Russian goes to Prison you'll be fucked!

Shit club, no history!

Fuck me, this is the day I've dreamed of since 2005. Get in.

Do Man City next.
