Roman Abramovich hands over ‘stewardship and care’ of Chelsea football club...

[Lonz]

he doesnt have many assets in the UK..he has an israeli passprot and a porteugeese one..as a citizen of those countries he has rights

abramavhich went abroad years ago...he proabbly still has a lonfon house but he doesnt live in the UK and had his visa revoked..

Didn’t know that!

 

[kildaremackem]

Didn’t know that!

yeah they took away his visa which means he cant, or couldnt, come to the UK for work reasons...could only come as a torusit..hiowver he now has two passprots from other countries..so maybe that has changed

I have always taken decisions with the club's best interest at heart," said Abramovich in a statement.

"I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea's charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.

"I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the club, players, staff, and fans."


Just seen the other thread, mods delete or whatever.

Handed over stewardship not ownership

 

[Royston Vasey]

The statement says nowt - is he still allowed to invest money in the club?

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

What with, if the government seize all his assets and Russia are kicked out of if Swift banking he can’t put a penny into the club. They could be fucked here

Then he'll stop giving all of his sweeteners to his mates in power and paying his taxes.

so many carpets, so much to be swept.

Hopefully this could be the start of cleaning up English football. The Mags next.
Then start again with a proper fit and proper owners test

and then the Eurovision Song Contest will be about the best singer...

Load of shite if the uk accept this charade, the club should be seized today and then sold at a profit to the UK government to a new owner, fuck russia and fuck their Money.

In 20 years we'll be in the same situation when the Arab states have reason to expand whatever war efforts they might have, fuck the lot of them and fuck the premier League for bending over so willingly to get shagged up the arse.

yep he no longer is the legal owner

I read that he is still the owner but has handed over the day to day running of the club. Not sure how much power they actually have though.

 

[T_Bone]

I dont think he will be bothered by this. He’d rather not have to do it but it will be a case of ah well whatever.

Exactly. Its like when Featherstone took over from Murray (well, not exactly)

 

[bagpiperay]

In my view it’s about running the club in the owner’s absence and a way to prevent for Abramovich to try to stop his UK money and bank accounts being frozen.

The most amazing thing about that clip is that a Sky producer didn’t appear behind him, clamp their hand over his mouth and drag him off-screen kicking and screaming in a headlock.

Marvellous how uncomfortable it is and how much of a prick it shows Jim White to be.

If ever there was an example of someone going completely against a TV channel’s agenda, live on air, then this is it. As the comment under it rightly points out, he was never seen again on SSN.

Over quarter million civilians slaughtered in Yemen by Mags owners but that's fine.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Hope they totally implode & go out of business - vile club, - vile fans

 

[Mowbray Boss Gilet]

Not involved in politics, is that tit from sky serious!?!!?

Haha exactly what I thought, not involved in politics
