If they want away fans at the ground for any game, why don’t they let the opposition sell tickets and keep all the money.

 

chelsea get away fans

away teams get all the revenue 

not a penny goes to Chelsea (neither abramovich)

 

As they’ve been singing for years “they do what they want, and they know who they are”

 

seems everyone now knows 

 

They'll "do as their told" 

[johnsusername]

Great stuff. Hopefully more people will wade in. They should be stripped of the Champions League, for a start. 

[polymerpunkah]

The Prem doing their own version of sportswashing now.

 

Falling all over themselves to get rid of Abramovich, but ignoring the war criminals at City and Newcastle.

[sir roger]

If they ignore Newcastle and City, heads should roll.

[Bobby Hundreds]

No way the government will touch the Saudis sportwashing exercises. We want to get off the Russian energy teet by taking it up the arse from Saudi royals.

There's talk the Saudi Media Group have made a bid of £2.7bn for chelsea. If that is true, they'll blow the other bidders out of the water who are probably looking at a low ball offer for the club.

The SMG should pass the fit and proper test, no problem.

 

They're not owned by the same person who doesn't own the Public Investment Fund.

The SMG bid has already been pretty much dismissed as unrealistic to be able to complete in the required timescale.

How are they travelling to Lille exactly?

[aws]

Second class Eurostar? 

[Freddo]

Travelling by ferry on the P & O, over night job, plenty of ale and casino on the club credit card. Shite, think we may have a problem with that plan

Football journalists are actually doing a decent job at the moment of raising the Saudi issue, even if the net result is Eddie Howe saying 'I know nothing about them things but the lads are gutted that they conceded that late goal and anything else is a bonus and we'll keep working hard.' 

 

[Barrington Womble]

The trouble with the journalists bringing up the Saudi issue, is come June they'll all be promoting the hundreds of millions Newcastle and City will spend this summer and playing their part in the sportswashing.

Chelsea forward Kai Havertz says he would pay for travel to away games if required.

which is lovely, but they probably won't be looking to launder money in quite the way Abra has so will keep spending and investment in the team to altogether saner levels.

Cunts always manage to fall upwards.

[Bad Red Bull]

His history with the Chicago Cubs is unbelievable. Spent a lot on renovating what was essentially a ruin. Let's hope he doesn't spend like Roman did.
