Abramovich & Chelsea + a bit of Everton

It's what happens whenever Chelsea is mentioned, people love to try and pile on and talk nonsense about the club not existing if it wasn't for Roman or we would have "done a Leeds" which is utter nonsense.

We blocked the sale of the cpo to stop the proposed move to Battersea which got blocked by the US embassy strangely anyways but a loan on the land would have been the next step if no outside investment(ie Matthew Harding) was found.
 
Right, Chelsea's current chairman who has openly admitted that the club were about to default on a huge debt repayment and were facing massive financial challenges was wrong. Chelsea were going to take a Wonga loan out against the land that is owned by a separate company :o

With the greatest of respect, you're talking nonsense. It's pointless going any further with this as you're just going to deny everything, clearly with no knowledge of the situation.
 
You don't know the club or the fanbase, you just based your opinion on hyperbole from people patting themselves on the back for the wonderful job they've done or the media twaddle who would never dream of exaggerating things.

You're right on one thing, it is pointless going further as it never happened.
 
Its a good job usmanov wasnt allowed to buy arsenal lucky escape i think

everton in even more trouble now hes having his assets froze
 
It's highly unlikely that Everton would go out of business. Obviously they're already hugely loss making and relegation would make things a lot worse but they have little to no outside debt that needs repaying. Like any PL side that gets relegated, they'd have to shift a few high value players to cut costs and cover the lost revenue from being outside the PL. Fortunately for Everton they have quite a few saleable players that would bridge that financial gap and still leave them with a squad more than strong enough to get promoted straight back to the PL.

Re Usmanov and Everton, there's always been speculation around his true involvement with their ownership and nobody really knows the truth there but even if we accept that he's not directly involved, Moshiri's wealth is still closely linked to Usmanov and Usmanov's companies. It's very possible that sanctions against Usmanov will hit Moshiri and that even if they avoid relegation (which I'm sure they will), they're going to have to cut costs in the summer because without outside investment, their current wagebill isn't sustainable.
 
"victims of the war in Ukraine". I think you mean victims of the Russian invasion Roman.

It will be interesting to find out what he means by net proceeds as if that's simply any excess over and above the money he's put into Chelsea (£1.5-1.7bn) then that could well be nothing given the market he's selling in right now.

*The line about not asking for his loans to be repaid is nothing more than spin. The valuation of the club will take into account any debts it has and given that he's both the owner of the club and the owner of the debt, it makes zero difference whether the loans are repaid or not.

You cannot sanction somebody just for being Russian and the Liz Truss has already confirmed that the government have received pre-emptive legal letters from legal firms representing various Oligarchs in a bid to stop their clients being sanctioned.
