So Sky, BT and Amazon can profit from the games but none of that money can go to Chelsea. I think I've decided to be amused by this. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanjwitham Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 As a fan of a club who's gone through something vaguely similar, all I can say is, I hope that we treat Chelsea fans with the same degree of care and compassion that other fans have treated us.

popside ossie end popside Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 14 minutes ago, DCFC Kicks said: It was incredibly depressing hearing Chelsea fans chant Abramovich's name the other day. Integrity and morals are non-existent in football today. As long as your team is winning and your owner has a lot of money he's a hero and nothing else matters. Where the money comes from doesn't matter. The morally correct thing would be for all Chelsea fans to refuse to support their team in any way until they have a new owner (they won't). All broadcasters, Sky, BBC etc. should refuse to show any Chelsea games (they haven't), and Sky continue to make money off showing their games, and no one is criticising them for doing this. All Chelsea players should refuse to play or get their dirty money wages (obviously they won't). Yet Sky, Chelsea fans/players continue with the empty gestures, like holding up a Ukrainian flag before games, then everyone feels better about themselves and just continue on. Yeah i know they say sport and politics do not mix, sometimes they have to. Some fans are just too thick, probably don't know it is happening, don't know where Ukraine is. Like you say, depressing at times to see fans who's only thoughts all week are football pub football pub football pub Mcd's Mcd's Mcd's Ram-Alf, DCFC Kicks and Eddie 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Chelsea recorded a loss of £153.4m for the year that ended June 2021, they blamed Covid for the loss of revenue, however they received £273.6m In broadcasting money. Now they cannot take a penny profit, this has the potential to be catastrophic for the club. They are allowing players to continue to be paid, but where is that money coming from to pay the players, will Abramovich be allowed to put money into the club so they can continue to compete?

GenBr Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can they sell players still then? Think its only fair that they start cutting their cloth accordingly as we had to do. Don't think they'd have to do anything drastic. Just sell virtually all of the first team and replace them with a shoestring of free transfers and youth players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eatonram Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Points deduction? For using dirty money for 19 years? Of course not..."that would only hurt the fans" Expect the highest of double standards over the next few weeks. Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocuBarmyArmy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 They stole Dylan Williams off us for £2.50 and a Tesco meal deal didn’t they? Only fair we return the favour in the summer, how would Mount feel about a season in League 1? GenBr and cosmic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return taxi from Lille station to the ground £40 (4 people sharing): £10 per person Sandwiches and coffee £10 per head) Chuck in £30 spending money (enough for kebab and chips) - that works out at about £200 per person.

I agree with all of that, except the Chelsea fans. Horrible entitled fanbase. Have it! Ram-Alf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The next step is to nationalise Chelsea FC and run it like British Rail. Replace Thomas Tuchel with a pacer diesel multiple unit.
