I enjoyed Neville and Carragher's bit on MNF about this. They were very critical of what's happened and didn't hold back in terms of their views. Neville even agreed he's got it wrong over the years in terms of who we should be allowing to invest and/or own clubs. The problem is, say the bid from the Saudi media group for Chelsea is genuine, how can they block this when they've just allowed the Newcastle takeover to go through just a few months ago.

i don’t think anyone would dispute it’s a bit of a mess. However… the prevailing sentiment amongst some football fans (i.e. Chelsea supporters) that because mistakes were made in the past they should be repeated in the future is nonsense.

The events of the last few weeks have changed the world and some of those that lived life on the margins now find themselves well and truly on the wrong side of the divide.

Because the owner is a crook.

But that's not Chelseas fault, the FA approved him, the government accepted his money, also to add just because his steel company makes steel which then another company buys to make Russian tanks is not anything to be guilty of concerning this war.

Because Chelsea aren't allowed to bring theirs.

Good MNF discussion around these issues:

Carragher made a good point. Chelsea under Abramovich have seriously thrown their weight around from day 1.

It might not be Chelsea’s “fault” but it is their problem.

The world isn’t the same place it was a month ago.

So you're basically saying that every Chelsea away game should be behind closed doors?

What a pile of horse****!

The way Chelsea fans are behaving makes me want them to go under. I hope that Nick Candy buys them and demo's the stadium to build posh flats.

Well for a start he put him forward for presidency when abramovich was a governor

Feel like Chelsea should just be able to give away their tickets until this is all sorted out. Shouldn't be punishing the fans.

Behaving...?

Defending our club from a tyrannical government just using the club to punish someone who isn't involved?

I'm yet to see actual proof that Roman Abramovich has done anything illegal in this country and his involvement in this war....

If you dare go to any of their fan sites none of them want him as he isn't rich enough

You seem to be suffering from the same bout of wilful ignorance that’s affecting other Chelsea supporters.

They asked but the government have declined to answer on that.

It's ignorant to ask for proof of guilt?

Fascism is on the rise everywhere it seems, along with Chelsea Derangement Syndrome.
