    If you want to know just how "connected" Abramovic is, I recall the story of when the England team landed in Moscow and were held in a queue on the runway waiting to taxi to their stand. The Pilot announced that it was going to be an hour wait (quite a number of planes ahead of them) - John Terry reportedly rang Abramovic and literally a few minutes later the Pilot announced that they'd been bumped to the front of the queue!

    Im not a Chelsea fan but based on what i saw over the years..Abramovich have a genuine love with the club & the fans + he knew that Chelsea cannot survive if they have to pay off his loan. For me, its sad for him to go coz i do think what he had done at Chelsea & the community are truly immeasurable.
    I may not know him or type of person he actually is but one thing i can say is i have greatest respect for this guy. Best wish of luck to Chelsea & the fans. 🙏🙏🙏

    I can’t lie, as a Chelsea fan I’m gutted that Roman is leaving the club. In these modern times of owners like the glazers at United or Kroenke at Arsenal, Roman has been great, genuinely cared about the club, and alway put the football and trophies first rather than using it as extra cash flow like the glazers. Obvs he’s made money from the club but he cares about the club more than a lot of modern owners. On a human rights level, I agree he should leave, but at that same rate, look at Newcastle or man city, or PSG, the list goes on and on. If we’re going to be hard on one owner, we should be on the others

Of course I want man United to be the best obviously but so many players Chelsea signed could of ended up staying in German league or sighed for other leagues it's been nice to see the best players coming to the premier League and watching them shine. It would be the same if man city lost pep of if Liverpool lost klopp it has the potential to ruin the club's like with sir Alex retiring rightly so he deserved to retire but since United hasn't been the same and its going to take a lot longer yet until we are back at the top!

That goes for City and now Newcastle. The corrupting influence of this money is so blatant, it's got every football fan bleating like sheep about being worried for the league. Ridiculous.

    Roman Abramovic IS a philanthropist. He’s always giving to important causes, look at what he did during the pandemic when he opened the club up to the NHS and kept everyone employed while clubs across the country we’re doing nothing and sacking their staff. What because he’s Russian and allegedly a close friend to Putin he’s no longer a philanthropist?

      You misunderstand the definition of philanthropist. A philanthropist doesn't have an ulterior motive for making donations. Abramovic (and every other corporate entity you can think of) make donations to improve their standing. It's like those cringeworthy McDonald's adverts about how much they give to good causes. They're not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they're doing it to create a positive opinion (or more often than not, to wash away a negative public opinion).

He's been great for the game, for the community, during covid for NHS workers, for the academy, a catalyst for huge investment coming into the English game. It's a pity. He's a Russian oligarch, proximity to Putin is probably a safety measure. They're mates. Prince Charles was mates with Jimmy Saville, didnt make him a proponent of groping & molestation.

      He led to hugely inflated wages and transfer prices. And by extension more cost to fans as others tried to compete. He has led to 100s of talented youth players being bought by the club at the expense of smaller clubs, then wasted as they were loaned out (if they ever got that far) or never got a chance in the first team. Their tactics even led to a transfer ban, because they bought children. He has influenced a culture of 6 month long manager tenures which has made it the norm and made long term building impossible for other clubs. All from money made in part by cosying up to Putin and at the very least tacitly supporting his regime. He has NOT been good for the game, in any way.

    Obviously Chelsea at the moment are the club under the microscope for obvious reasons and rightly so! I am an ardent Chelsea fan and have been for nearly 50 yrs and it pains me that the owner feels his only option is to sell and as much as it pains me to say it, morally, I think it is the right thing to do, however, with that said Abramovic will be hugely missed and has been an excellent custodian of the club in his tenure as owner and has brought the club huge success!!! Whether that success has come from the use of monies dubiously obtained remains unproven but there is no question of abramovics relationship with Putin and on that basis has created a situation that needed to be drastically actionable!!
    With my opinion clarified on my club I would like to point out the questionable financial backing of other clubs with Middle Eastern and Chinese money, two groups of people with the worst human rights records in the world by a country mile!!!! Clubs are more than happy to accept money from countries and organisations that have flagrantly violated peoples human rights, supplied weapon systems and arms in the prolonging of the worst humanitarian crisis in the Sudan not to mention the imprisonment of people and torturing those that dare express a view differing to their domestic governments!!!! So when people look to start throwing stones at Chelsea perhaps they may wish to look a bit closer to home!!!!!!

      The Russia Ukraine war has definitely exposed the hypocrisy of many people in media and general society. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is light work compared to the horrors China has been unleashing on the Uighur people and the war crimes Saudi Arabia is committing in Yemen. Why are people not jumping up and down and demanding sanctions on Chinese and Saudi Arabian people and assets. Because it's not convenient for them to condemn the crimes done by those countries. But it's convenient for them to condemn Russia. Everything they do is based on convenience. It's not based on moral principles or because it is the right thing to do. Shouldn't war or any evil be condemned by everyone no matter on which country or people that evil is being carried out on. The selective outrage is saddening to say the least.

      Gary questions the money coming from Russia and Saudi Arabia as it’s “dirty” and “evil” money, yet the UK has literally financed bombings of Syria, Iraq and Lybia yet no one seems to call that out, make sanctions or completely ban England and English clubs from participation. The reason - double standards of how the Western media portrays the world. Moreover, the reason Ukraine never backed down from Russia is because they expected help from Europe to deal with Russia, yet no help came after the invasion and Ukraine is left stranded. If everyone is so saddened then where’s the help that was promised by NATO?
      I am not in any shape of form defending Putin’s actions, he’s an evil politician, but my point is that every politician, of every single country has to make these evil decisions on a regular basis. It’s how the game works. But some are called out for it and some are not.

    I am fortunate enough to know a couple of people who work for Chelsea (or someone in their family does) and from what I've heard from the few who actually get to meet Abramovich is he is by all accounts a very nice man. Clearly a private man, extremely rare for him to speak publically so people are left to make their own minds up but I've never seen him as anytbing other than a very rich man playing FM Manager for real which we would all do if we had that kind of money.

    But the problem is that they're blaming politics for him being kicked out of English football.
    The politics of how he made that dodgy money always mattered. Its just that it took an invasion of a European country for majority of people to really understand how close Abramovich really was to Putin.
    English football clubs should be self sustainable and be owned by fans/people who are clean & don't load heavy debt onto the club.
    There shouldn't be place for people like the Glazers, Saudis, Abramovich or Sheikh Mansour.
