Can Languish raise enough cash to buy?

[Duque de Bragança]

Let Tamas do it.

[FunkMonk]

Yi and Tamas, buy Chelsea FC plz

[FunkMonk]

Hopefully we'll get to see Chelsea as a midtable Championship side in 5 years after Roman fucks off

We really just need to convince Habs to sell his crypto and we should be good.

Let's not get overboard with a Thai oligarch, various Gulf monarchies, and Saud bloody Arabia being amongst club owners in England.

It's probably going to ruin the club in the short term but I am glad to see Abramovich go.

I think more realistically, if Chelsea miss out on Champions League for a season or two, they'll end up like Arsenal have been for the last couple seasons, rounding out the top of the midtable Premier League sides. I guess it will depend on who the new ownership is and how much they'll be willing to spend (or how much they decide will have to be cut).

I can see Newcastle taking Chelsea's place in the Top 4-6. The next couple seasons will be very interesting.

True magic of the cup as Chelsea are playing Luton Town tonight - Luton fans are chanting "you're getting sold in the morning"

Apparently Abramovich is also writing off 1.5 billion pounds in loans to the club.

[mongers]

What's Chelsea now worth, 2-3? ; maybe I'll put a bid in adn go as high as a fiver?

I'd like to thank the Russian taxpayers from whom most of that was stolen.

Ah Chelsea:

Crowd at Turf Moor stands and applauds to show solidarity with Ukraine. Chelsea fans interrupt with chants of 'Roman Abramovich, Roman Abramovich'.

Exhibit A in demonstrating how well sportswashing works

Sheilbh if you're watching this I'm sorry. Rough 1st half.

Although Gordon needs to stop whining and stay on his feet.
