I'm sympathetic to chelsea supporters who may see serious turmoil in their club. I can't buy the argument that if someone was a problem before, but we ignored it, that we should continue to ignore it. Abramovich has used his money to do some good for the club and the game in England. But the source of that money was always tainted and his motivations were always self serving. Can the same be said of the owners of other clubs? Yes. Is this a political move driven by the war? Also yes. Does that mean it's the wrong thing to do? No. Not to me.

Spockydog Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Good for the game? GTFOH. Abramovich, and his money, have irreparably damaged football in this country. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sympathetic to chelsea supporters who may see serious turmoil in their club. If these sanctions aren't lifted in the summer, Chelsea wouldn't be able to sell anyone nor sign any new players (or sign new contracts with current players), so the only ones who'd leave are the ones whose contracts are about to expire. I think that's Rudiger, Christensen and Azpilicueta. Sure, they'd feel that hit but it's not really an exodus. Maybe some other players' contracts are running out, I'm not sure. Also, you are a bit too old to have THIS as your eye-opener regarding hypocrisy in the world. 17 minutes ago, Spockydog said: Oof. That's fucking brilliant. I mean, do I feel sorry for the fans?

As has already been stated, this is the best example of how sportswashing gives great results. We have a guy who has made an insane amount of money by stealing from his own people, through connections with a pretty horrible regime and still people are chanting his name and talking about "he did something good for the game" and stuff like that. Insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 That was an excellent second half from Real Madrid. In the first half they looked like they would be sitting ducks to Mbappe running in behind. They sorted themselves out in the 2nd half and PSG did not have much of a sniff.

ljkeane Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Some are significantly worse than others. Most of the wealthy Premier League owners may well be dicks but, you know, that doesn’t put them on the same level as those associated with oppressive regimes.

Darryk Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The PL was happy to take RA's money until it was no longer convenient. The UK government is happy to arm and enable Saudi Arabia while wagging its finger at Russia. I don't think Chelsea, Newcastle, City or any of them should be sanctioned. Why should football fans, already struggling in this economy, have to suffer the consequences of decisions made without their consent by people far richer and more powerful than them? Pathetic politicians whose hands are covered in filth, think they can escape that if they virtue signal hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
