it's like end of Casino, is it too much to ask for the angry midget Dennis wise to get battered with a baseball bat and buried in some cornfields?

 

 

It’s beautiful

See yer later lads. Switch the lights off on your way out, yeah. Oh, and take this with you *throws Everton Football Club*.

Gonna be loads of whataboutism here. "Why are they piling onto us" wah wah wah etc, etc...

Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol:

"From today, Chelsea cannot sell  tickets to any games. So the only people who can go to Stamford Bridge and watch a game are those who have already purchased match tickets or season tickets."

Surely Chelsea have already sold tickets for the season? We sell ours for the 2nd half of the season in about November. This will be no more than odd tickets.

That fella with the shady eyes on SSN earlier was saying they've already paid for all their travel etc up-front until the end of the season. 

 

Surely the players would just cough up to keep their luxuries anyway. 

The thing with that though, I can imagine it's booked, but would they really pay up front for this type of thing? Surely for someone who spends like a football club does on travel, they get invoiced monthly in arrears like most normal businesses.

With some of the bidders seemingly willing to pay 2bn, surely that just means they take the debt and buy at 500m?

How are they going to manage cash flow? Their incomings from broadcast, prize money, money owed from transfers sponsorships etc are apparently going to be received but will be frozen. They still need to pay out £3.5m a week in wages, £500k per home game in costs and whatever outstanding payments they have for players. And they can’t borrow money

I think they said they were only freezing that from next season didn't they? 

 

Overall, I can't help but think this is all a bit of a non-story. I'm sure they'll find a way to sell the club and I'm sure it'll be done by the season end. Even this 3 sponsorship it effectively just two and a half months money, so just 8 or 9m. It's a bit of noise for now to make Johnson and his gang of cunts feel good after being cririsised for being too slow. Then when sanctions aren't headline news, they'll quietly let a sale go ahead and the proceeds will get sat on by the government.

Bad news for Vitesse this. 

[Reckoner]

Chelsea is the Mc-mansion in SW6 that starts falling apart after 20 years. Liverpool is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn’t see the difference.

This must be the first thing Johnson's scummy government has done that I agree with. Keep it up, BoZo. Don't stop until Chelsea are completely and utterly ruined. Or handed back to Ken Bates for free.

I think you're massively underplaying what has happened here. Three have basically said the brand is toxic, the rest surely have to follow, no proper business will jump straight into bed with them.

 

None of the mentioned billionaire's are buying it, they will be all be scheming to get it as cheap as possible and will gladly watch it burn so it reduces in price, regardless the Tories have probably already lined up a buyer, run it into the ground and sell it to their mates for 50 quid. 

 

I would say a Rangers situation is more likely than a swift sale to proper owner who will run it well.

We’ll take Kai Havertz please and Reece James can carry Trent’s bags for him if he wants.

  Quote

The licence allows Chelsea to pay a maximum of £20,000 per game per club team for travel expenses for players and ‘essential staff’....For context, a usual Premier League away game with a flight, security, food, hotels etc would be about £30k. ...

 

 

 

 

Is that the same for champions league? They'll have get a coach

[Harry Squatter]

Poor Astrid won't be getting her tits out for a while. 

[Scott_M]

As well as the £1.5bn Abramovich is allegedly writing off, Chelsea lose hand over fist each season. They rely heavily on players sales to mitigate loses. 
 

If these sanction’s are lifted by June, it likely won’t be too damaging to them. It’ll have an impact, but not disastrous. If it goes on into the summer and they can’t sell players, season tickets, new shirts etc, I assume they’ll then fall foul of FFP or administration?

[Bjornebye]

They've got about 3000 players on loan and all. What happens to their loan fee's?

I bet Tuchel was livid this afternoon after surfing the Ryanair website.

 

”£250pp return to Lille. It’s not even half term. We’ll only be in the air 30 mins”.

[Harry Squatter]

I'm sure they can get a people smuggler to get them to and from France. Pity most of them will end up working in a cannabis factory or a car wash until May. 

[Jennings]

I don't think the government will let Chelsea go down the pan.

[TheHowieLama]

@Barrington Womble How does a buyer write a note in this deal - you can't do a transaction with Abro atm.

 

The question of away fans seems sketchy as well. Certainly it is a sporting advantage to have no away support.
