I discuss the recent developments at Chelsea as their owner Roman Abramovich is sanctioned, and the club is only able to continue doing essential business (no transfers permitted and controlled spending). How bad will this be for Chelsea and what does it mean for the wider world of football? As always please let your thoughts below!

Now seeing Chelsea's bank account with Barlcays has been temporarily suspended! Could be a big problem as after yesterday's news Chelsea were going to have to operate on cash reserves (as they essentially couldn't earn new money) but if they can't access them they'll be in big trouble!!!
Oh wow…. Have a great weekend spencer, good to see you back!
love the vids
Spencer can you do a video on clubs from the EFL that are struggling or running out of money cos I think that will be an interesting video and talk about ways to save them and shine more light in the clubs and there community like Oldham and Darby. Just a interesting suggestion and also love how you stand with Ukraine feel sorry for how many people round there you got support from most of the world 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I am a former soccer player on your team Subscribe
Okay...well then I stand with Northern Ireland and Scotland, FU Englishman
Well HELLO THERE!! wasn't expecting ANOTHER video for at least 3months
I forgot he existed lol
Someone’s been watching the kenobi trailer …
General Kenobi you are a bold one
This format is great but it would be brilliant
If you and seb could start a weekly podcast 👍🏼 no particular theme just anything hashtag football current affairs etc just a suggestion
Podcasts are the modern day Fifa RTG’s !!!
Spencer, I have been following you for a long time now, and the most intriguing factor to continue watching your content both on this channel and Hashtag's channel is the high level of professionalism, effective message delivery and constructive back up to your opinions and arguments. Your platform can assist in providing a strong message, not only to injustices to the Ukrainian people, due to the war they are facing, but also to other wars around the world, as you rightly highlighted during your latest video. Once again your opinions, backed up with reliable information and influential suggestions, could be a strong tool to deliver positivity to a massive audience. Keep it going and hope that peace reigns the world over.
Well said! It is completely okay to support the steps against Abramovich but at the same time feel bad for Chelsea fans, players and employees!
Two videos in two days? You saucy man, love that you're back mate. Hope you're just getting all the good feedback you deserve
This is really brilliant Spencer, so well spoken and you summed up complex issues with ease. This is why we need your videos 😂👍
As a CHELSEA fan, spot on. It’s heartbreaking but it’s the right thing. I truly believe if Roman lets the club go we will be okay but that’s a big IF.
Always will be my 🐐 of yourube, always being honest/ kind/ well spoken and talk about important matters.
Danny Whitehead
No matter what happens, I will always support the Blues 💙
I really appreciate your take, especially the fact you also recognized the censorship of western media of other conflicts around the world.
Great to see you making videos again on this channel Spencer, long may it continue. Top video as always.
Love seeing you rep Minnesota!!
Great video Spen. Have the UK set a good precedent though? We've not taken in anywhere near enough refugees in the circumstances
100% agree. Very disappointed with the UK's approach so far.
they have though
Well said Spen respect for how u came across in this vid👏🏾👏🏾but as u said as much as I also condemn what’s happening in Ukraine other countries suffer just as much but they don’t get the media coverage unfortunately😪😪I'm Congolese n we've been in war for the last 25 years or so but living here in the UK nobody even knows about it which is sad 🤧🤧
Spencer, great vid excellently well said and spot on like always! Top man, well done for saying that there are other problems going on in the world too: ‘Yemen and Israel and Palestine’ etc.
This hurts Chelsea not Abramovich, He hasn't made his fortune through Chelsea and he will continue to be rich well after. This hurts Chelsea and it's fans and won't affect Putin in the slightest.
As a Minnesotan I'm flattered that you have a Minnesota Twins hat :)
Alright mate
Alright mate
Alright mate
Alright mate
Alright mate
Alright mate
Great to see you back Spen👍🏼
I agree with most points you've said football wise, but I don't feel that regular citizens have to feel guilty for not caring about every single humanitarian issue in the world. It's human nature to be concerned with things that affect you more closely.
This is coming from a person living Hong Kong - a place with its own serious troubles over recent years. I genuinely wouldn't expect UK people to care about what's happening over the other side of the world. If you do care, that's obviously great and much appreciated. The reality is, there's not much an average citizen can do apart from "showing support" and "raising awareness" on social media for countries such as Ukraine, or Yemen, or Palestine.
While all that social media awareness is great, it takes a whole lot MORE to pressure governments to take real action, and I guarantee you 90% of people who show social media "support" will not sustain their efforts to continue beyond a week or two.
Of course, its never a bad thing to raise awareness about such issues. I'm just pointing out that its natural for humans, and governments (to a lesser extent) to focus on what's closest to them.
On a lighter note, any chance of a Spen and Alex video coming out soon? 🤣
Spen Dog , great videos. Side note where u get the Minnesota Twins hat ? I’m from Minnesota
Good to see you back on your personal channel hopefully we can see more of you sharing your educated opinions on all the football matters as a fan I respect and can understand whatever your views are whether I agree or disagree keep up the amazing work with hashtag I’m rooting for you to get promoted
Celtic fans raised Palestines flag and were fined £9000 and were told not to bring politics into the football game. Where is the consistency?
Really good and objective take on this thing, good video
These are exactly the videos I want to see, really articulate and interesting opinions on ongoing footballing matters, love it.
Brilliant well balanced views Spencer, well played.
Well said, Spen!
Oh and Danny Whitehead... :)
Not that it should be this way but surely the players could fork out on travel abroad etc, they can be paid back at a later date
2 videos in 2 days 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As a Chelsea fan I completely understand the backhand suspicious moves abramovich has been operating for years which has ultimately led to his involvement to the Ukraine war but I hope this is a cornerstone to the start of policing of the reported abuses of both city and Newcastle owners
Let's not forget the USA and Iraq
I love coming this early for Spen
Pause
yo hold up
Love this sort of content
Thank you for mentioning other nations and how they should get more media coverage. I really appreciate it💚👑
You've done your research Spencer, a really good video
Great video
Consistency is key but Boris had parties when we weren’t allowed them so he is making up the rules as he goes along Love to 🇺🇦. I feel sorry for Chelsea fans and players I hope someone can resolve this soon
Can you release these episodes as podcasts on spotify please?
good take spenc, but its abrAmovitch not abrOmovitch :)
I don’t think it’s as easy as declaring support for one side or another if you’re in Abramovich’s position. I can only imagine there would be massive consequences if he did declare complete support for Ukraine, possibly even life threatening if Putin could put out a hit on him and equally he can’t afford to completely come out and support Putin without his image in the UK being massively tarnished so I have some sympathy. However, you can easily argue that he would not be so wealthy and in his privileged position without initially supporting and tying himself to Putin in the first place so once again it is a case of that decision coming back to bite him
GET THIS MAN TO 2 MILLION
Uploading schedule from spencer let's gooo
I would like football vs fifa vids as that’s not fut and there’s not the problem with fifa points etc. Also, some vids with Harry/ shawery and stokes like some challenge vids and just uploads in general. Also I do really like these IMO/talking vids as well but for other ideas… 👆
24 hour Movember live streams fifa 17 vibes 😉
Two videos in two daysssss. The end is near
Make this into a weekly podcast
As DelBoy would say, “They’re in deep Shtukk”
@@lewdogzombies 👏👏🤣🤣
The sooner the club is sold the better. If it’s done soon then everything goes back to normal really for Chelsea and I don’t think this is gonna hurt them that much. But if Roman drags this on then it could be extremely damning. Remember that all the restrictions on Chelsea will disappear once Roman is gone.
I don't think they are letting him sell the club
@@leomcbride3015 he won’t sell it, the government will and they want to.
Spencer 🐐
Yes
Yesss nice to see you making videos again lovely stuff
Love the Twins hat Spen
MISS you Spencerrrr
I really want to meet you
Big fan from India
Start a podcast where you just talk football weekly 🤩
Your totally right, great vid Spencer! This should set a precedent but I’m not hopeful going by recent developments, as per new oil deal with Saudi Arabia. There’s so much dirty money in industry, so much exploitation propping up the economy. If football can help shine a light on these inconsistencies then that can only be good. Changing things is a big movement not something that can be done overnight, but through sharing views and knowledge we can make a start.
Romans statement says net proceeds, not just proceeds. This implies that he would deduct his purchase price and 1.5bn loan from any sale (before these sanctions)
Chelsea are gonna have to bike to away games if this continues🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kante is smiling rn
2 in 2 indeed also unrelated there's always a belgian.
You never fail to articulate your point of view so brilliantly. I really enjoy these videos as much as the hashtag videos! Keep up the amazing work
LOVELY VID
Where was the transfer window video😭
thank you for mentioning palestine.
I miss the IMO intro 😔
Well said
I understand your perspective but you have to see both sides here. The are faults in both countries and the US has made several mistakes too. The suctions to individuals and sports are getting too crazy.
I obviously don’t agree with what putin is doing but i don’t like that the media always portrays as america as good when they’re just as bad as russia let’s not forget
So many worse situations in the past years that haven’t received this publicity I.e. Wigan, Bolton, bury, Derby etc
Danny Whitehead
Such a FIFA legend
Man literally gave a loan of 2.1 Bn to chelsea which he does not want back... I'm against war , and against the atrocities but Abrahmovic has Chelsea's best interest at heart. Plus I'm a chelsea fan completely clueless about what to expect next from India ;)
Chelsea fan here, here’s my thoughts:
1. It’s the right thing to do.
2. I’m disgusted if Abramovich DID fund Putin’s agenda.
3. I’m still thankful of Roman’s contribution, best owner in the football world.
4. The Chelsea employees don’t deserve this.
During the pandemic, Chelsea didn’t furlough any employee, and they were paid fully. Now, they are practically out of jobs. Hopefully, this mess will be sorted soon.
P/S: As much as I support Ukraine, I feel like there are double standards when it comes to these similar issues. Where are the medias when Ozil supported the Uyghur case? Why did they distanced themselves from the Zionist attacks on Palestine? Why did they go silent when there’s literally other ethnic cleansing going on in other parts of the world? Sounds pretty BS to me.
Don’t remember seeing a video on derby county
Spen does this mean the Newcastle owners and City owners should never have been allowed in given the human rights issues surrounding the countries they have ties to? As I understand it Saudi Arabia are involved in the Yemen war so should Newcastles owners be sanctioned?
You hit the nail on the coffin Spenc!
Legend
Alright mate how u doing?
The line between intervention is clearly war
2 videos in 2 days. Are we back in 2014??
Looks up what was happening back in 2014 - "Russia Annexes Crimea and Threatens the Rest of Ukraine"...yes looks like we are mate!
@Spencer FC Great to have you back uploading just a shame that the latest video is not one anyone wanted to see happen in the world of football or the entire world
Have you ever considered doing a podcast and getting people on think you’d be great at it
Forgot this was a channel
Love the ppg trophy 😂
👏👏👏
Major W spen
I think the differences between Ukraine invasion and the on goings in Yemen or Palestine/Israel are:
1) Both those other issues are much less clear cut. Russia has full scale invaded a sovereign democratic nation, the other two are not as straight forward or extreme as that. For yemen specifically, Saudi arabia is 1) Armed with weaponry sold to them by the UK government, and the UK is well aware of this, they are allies. and 2) the situation of who they are bombing/fighting is much more complex. On a personal level i am absolutely agaisnt what SA has done and the sale of UK arms btw, but legally it'd be much harder to punish SA the way we have russia even if we wanted too. As for israel, they have almost full US backing and know that, i dont see how the UK could do anything close to what we've done to russia to them without basically breaking our alliance with the US completely, which would of obvious reasons be disastrous.

As a Chelsea supporter, I thank you for being neutral. I'm sure it wasn't easy being a West Ham supporter and I'm sure Chelsea is probably your most hated club. Thank you for being so reasonable. I totally agree with the sanctions on Roman not being able to profit from Chelsea. But I feel like every other sanction that followed is unfair on us. I feel like the UK Government is using Chelsea as their pr move. If they truly cared, they wouldn’t have been so late to sanctions on Roman and other Russian's. They could and should've gone further on sanctions on Russia and on their support for Ukraine. I can't understand why they aren't taking in Ukrainian refugees.
Umm you misunderstood something under the sanction everything to do with Chelsea would have to shut down everything but the British government gave a special license for the football club to still operate in some ways.
@@zirbto5749 There are a lot of sanctions that don't make any sense. The store being shut down, fans now being allowed to attend, and not being able to pay for the basics like transportation.
@@Klev10 they will go bust it’s only a matter of time
Club to club pleaser
Yes spence :DDDDDDD
As a chelsea fan, we thrive in chaos haha. but seriously, what is happening is the right thing, how ever, government needs to go after anyone doing business that is abusing human rights. Get them out, if Roman has to go, which he should, they need to go after everyone. This isn't about football its about human rights.
Feel bad for Ukraine
Can you predict the World Cup 2022?
Can you bring the spencer and Alex channel back
As a Chelsea fan I think Abramovich is entitled to collect his debt from the sale cos even without that 1.5B he’s still donating at least 1B to Ukraine
🐐
Danny whitehead!!!
For me this is the right thing as a chelsea fan but.. I think they should just sanction Roman not chelsea we’re a different company to Roman
🇺🇦❤️
Why not comment on a club like derby county ? Is it just cause Chelsea is a premier league club or because of the major developments?
Spencer mentions Israel- Palestine and Yemen but I’ve never seen his come out and support the crisis. Him mentioning it shows he was aware of what was happening yet kept silent. Where’s the consistency
I literally say in the video, that we all including myself, have to do better. The mainstream media dictate what many of get exposed to but we have to educate ourselves beyond that. Having said that, for fairness, I make football videos. This is a video about Chelsea ultimately. The Israel/Palestine/Yemen etc situation hasn't impacted a UK club yet in this way to my knowledge. Doesn't make it any less important, but that would explain why I hadn't spoken out on it.
@@SpencerFC I understand that very much but why is it that it needs to affect the UK personally in order for the news to be on mainstream platform shouldnt it be given awareness for the sake of humanity and the lives at stake (Palestine, Afghanistan). Had this been Russia invading a Middle Eastern country the news would have labelled it fight against terrorism(the Middle East). Moreover it was told football and politics do not belong together after the conflict in Palestine or Afghanistan yet players are doing a round of applause for a minute for the victims in Ukraine. Is this not politics and football mixing? The UK government will support and give media attention to that which will benefit them.
Upload schedule ✅
it definitely is a laughing matter lol, this disgusting club, with it's deplorable fans, can take their blood stained money trophies and get out of the beautiful game
# Danny Whitehead
Connor Gallagher contract is running out in the summer, so he’s gonna have to leave cos they can’t renew contracts
well said for the most part spendog!
imo it all comes down to roman's claim that the money that chelsea is sold for goes to ukraine and its people. of course right now his wording leaves open different interpretations. you among others think it's dishonest and would like proof where the money goes to etc.
to me personally it sounded very much like he is not agreeing with the war and wanting to help. in the end that is what should and will be the main topic of discussion and base for the contracts with the government.
because there are voices getting louder and louder saying that if the government doesn't want to let roman give the 2-odd billion made from the sale to ukrainian war victims, then the reason might be that the conservative party of england want the money to go into their own pockets. this opens another can of worms and would be a very bad look. what we need is full transparency from both sides. otherwise every party involved will be worse off than before. the "theory" mentioned above not being disproven, would inflict huge damage to the UK in the public eye.
as a chelsea fan, I think that a new owner will take over in less than a week. and this may or may not sound arrogant but we are current champions of europe and the world. nobody can take that away from us. I can live with a few years of mediocrity. although I honestly don't think the fall of grace will be too hard. I see us be a top 10 team at worst.
He said victims of the war he didn't say anything about Ukraine
@@zirbto5749 if both sides get together, I'm sure there can be made an arrangement that the money goes to war victims, including proof and idk how this bureocratic stuff works but I'm sure they can work it out. Communication is key
@@frankunodostres473 oh there can but that needs it on paper and not just someone saying something
@@zirbto5749 that's what contracts are for. They're all adults I think they can work it out if they give it a try
@@frankunodostres473 yeah thats what they wants abramovic to give them the license to not give him any money from the sale. As dumb as politicians can be they are smart enough sanctioning Chelsea will just lose them voters.
