R. Abramovich March 2, 2022: I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club.
Quite a U turn from Putin's mate.

You have to learn the difference between news and speculation.

He hasn’t. He embarrassed himself about Chelsea going bust etc when we were first sanctioned

oh dear its not going very well is it.
The bottomless pockets of the Arabs have been declined.
The British billionaire promising £1.75bn spending over 10 years has been kicked into touch
Just a consortium of Americans wanting to add a soccer team to their sports portfolio...US investors they only ever spend what the club earns, or worse in the case of the Glazers - Only FSG have made any real success and that is built off the back of picking up LFC on the cheap, selling some key assets, getting the finances in order and building from there. NO doubt another voice to add to the support of the ESL2, as that is the only realistic means of CFC significantly increasing their revenues.
The future for the West London Blue Socks Soccer Club looks on a knife edge right now.

I thought Abramovich was busy brokering a peace deal, being the saint that he is. Or was he only interested in peace so that sanctions could be lifted and he could get his money out of the UK/Jersey.
Now that peace looks like a distant possibility, he's perhaps realised that he will have to sell and his follow through on hollow promise not to make profit and give proceeds those affected by the war
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You claim you thought?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s what was widely reported when he and Ukrainian officials were allegedly poisoned. Seems a bit far fetched he would be trying to broker peace, talking directly to Putin, considering he was adamant he doesn’t have any links to him a couple of months ago.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I was referring to his whole reply rather than any specific aspect.

That's how football should be played not having an owner pump billions to buy tainted success. This is what fans should prefer.

It is a direct quote the speculation was in the stories saying he changed his mind, no direct quotes equates to speculation.
