EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Can they sign players ? We may have to compete with Chelski for the bargain bucket deals on 4.5k per week. Given the cost of living in London, any player who is wise with his money will clearly see that we are a much better proposition.

hintonsboots Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 There will be a mass exit of Chelsea “fans” to Man City I suspect. The average attendance pre Russian days was around 11k for a midweek game. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody... ?We're all gonna have a party when Chelsea die? ?We're all gonna have a party when Chelsea die? ?We're all gonna have a party when Chelsea die? The same compassion Chelsea showed, when dicking us over, snatching Lampard just before our season started. Sure we got compensated but it did nothing for our next season. Right now my only interest in Chelsea’s plight is whether the Williams money is in the bank? The “red top” media will be all over this, far more than little provincial Derby County struggling.

Mostyn6 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 How do they justify seizing his assets!? Pretty sure he left Russia and lived in England then Israel to be nothing to do with Putin. Where do they draw the line? Does my Russian mate Dimitri need to worry about his building/maintenance business in Lichfield? YouRams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to imagine he would be allowed to continue that if he was anti-Putin. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abramovitch was a Russian MP when Putin was a Mayor of some place in Russia, He has/had links to Putin making billions of £s, Just because he's been living abroad doesn't make it that he hasn't been intouch with him or not NCA were asked to investigate Abramovitch last week...the outcome is Sanctions?

Does my Russian mate Dimitri need to worry about his building/maintenance business in Lichfield? He still maintains (or, at the very least, the UK government believe he maintains) a close business relationship with the Russian state at a quite fundamental level, which directly ties him to the situation in Ukraine: "Roman Arkadyevich ABRAMOVICH (hereafter ABRAMOVICH) is a prominent Russian businessman and pro-Kremlin oligarch. ABRAMOVICH is associated with a person who is or has been involved in destabilising Ukraine and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, namely Vladimir Putin, with whom ABRAMOVICH has had a close relationship for decades. This association has included obtaining a financial benefit or other material benefit from Putin and the Government of Russia. This includes tax breaks received by companies linked to ABRAMOVICH, buying and selling shares from and to the state at favourable rates, and the contracts received in the run up to the FIFA 2018 World Cup. Therefore, ABRAMOVICH has received preferential treatment and concessions from Putin and the Government of Russia. ABRAMOVICH is also associated with a person who is or has been involved in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia, namely: former First Deputy Prime Minister, and current Chairman of the Management Board for VEB, Igor Shuvalov; former General Director of Gazprom Investment Holdings, Alisher Usmanov, both of whom were sanctioned on 3 March 2022 for being involved persons in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Russian government through carrying on business in a sector of strategic significance to the Russian government. ABRAMOVICH is associated with these individuals through close business relationships and mutual assistance, including ABRAMOVICH financing Shuvalov's trust and the subsequent loans from Shuvalov to enable Usmanov's purchase of a British mill. Furthermore, ABRAMOVICH is or has been involved in destabilising Ukraine and undermining and threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, via Evraz PLC,a steel manufacturing and mining company in which ABRAMOVICH has a significant shareholding and over which ABRAMOVICH exercises effective control. Evraz PLC is or has been involved in providing financial services, or making available funds, economic resources, goods or technology that could contribute to destabilising Ukraine or undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence of Ukraine – which includes potentially supplying steel to the Russian military which may have been used in the production of tanks. ABRAMOVICH exercises effective control of Evraz PLC given his significant shareholding and the shareholdings of his close associates who it is reasonable to expect ABRAMOVICH could direct through his close ties with Abramov and Shvidler, as well as his power to nominate directors of the board. ABRAMOVICH is or has been involved in obtaining a benefit from or supporting the Government of Russia, as ABRAMOVICH and Evraz PLC carry on business in sectors of strategic significance to the Government of Russia – namely the construction, defence and extractive sectors."https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1059927/Russia.pdf RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He recommended Putin to Yeltsin for gods sake. They're targeting the people who support Putin hence they are targeting Ambramovich. Unless your mate Dmitri is secretly a billionaire supporting a tinpot dictator fight his wars i dont think he'll have much trouble.

To be honest this is why I find the whole sanctioned thing strange. I get why they're doing it and I think it's the right thing to do but the whole issue of allowing him in and to use this money in the first place is what I've always questioned. A mate of mine, Chelsea through and through has always shrugged at the issue of the legitimacy and source of Chelsea's money over the success they've had. He too has spouted the "Abramovich loves this club" line over the years. Just one more thing to add to the pile of what's wrong with the game these days.
