[quit yo jibbajabba]

Potentially huge news but i wont get too excited just yet as no doubt a way will be found to get around.

And what odds we are having the same convos in ten yrs time about city, newcastle etc etc

It would be nice to see the original cheats buried into the history books all the same.

Apparently each of their teams have an allowance of 20,000 sterling for each away game.

Should make things interesting if they get through to further ties in the CL. Especially with jet fuel prices going through the roof I'm sure.

Shades of the movie Major League back in the day maybe when the owner was trying to cheapskate the team into losing

The Chelsea club shop is closed. Go bhfoire Dia orainn

3 have suspended their sponsor ship and want their logo removed from the Chelsea jersey.

Unlikely that they'll ever see the same riches again under any new owners.  Their golden age is finished.

Be interesting to see how their business model goes without a sugar daddy.

They seem to make quite a few quid on their loanee business and then sell them off for mostly good money, i.e. Bamford, Abraham etc etc.

Abramovich was more than just a sugar daddy.

How will Chelsea make their wage bill of £30m p/m?
And should they find a buyer, who gets the proceeds of the sale seeing as the government condition of sale is that Abramovitch be excluded?

Yeah but won't have the money to hoover up all the young talent. All the potential bidders were basically investors and would be looking to run a profit, not allow it to run with one and a half billion pound of debt.

Abramovich was proposing to donate it to victims of the war last week.

To the latter question probably the tories or some of their donors

   "It was the Chelsea football club element that was squared off quite late because we had to make sure we had the licensing arrangement in place and ensure the fans weren't being impacted and the club could still operate," said one government official.

"We also needed to ensure there was potential there for allowing him to sell the club without making any money from it. We had to make sure Chelsea as an institution would continue regardless of whether he was the owner or not."
