whut u halve 4 dinner?

we had cacio e pepe n a apple fritter 4 desert

I watched my club's last supper

when the guvmint take u over they can name u Dinamo Chelsea n moove intoo that power station thingy u wanted 2b ur stadium

Feel like pure shįt just want Gazza to rationalise the situation

Beep boop beep - Gaz probably

Scenes when Gazza strolls into Parliament in his tuxedo, has his briefcase opened for him by his butler and simply says, “actually fellows, your sanctions are poppycock and here’s why” before raining down upon them with his righteous facts and furious logic

We have widely different mental images of Gazza

Gazza is clearly Patrick Bateman crossed with Sheldon Cooper no?

I just figured Gazza was basically the human version of a mannequin and that even if you stare at the features on his face for an hour you would forget what he looked like within 23 seconds.

Makes sense that they would design him that way tbf

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are considering a summer move for Pulisic, as they look to freshen up their attack.

They are also looking at Antonio Rudiger, Jorginho and Hakim Ziyech as possible signings from Chelsea.

Spokesperson for British billionaire Nick Candy:

"We are examining the details of the announcement and we are still interested in making a bid. Clearly this is a time of great uncertainty for all #Chelsea fans."

Digital and Technology Minister Chris Philp told Sky News on Friday morning that the Government was open to a sale of the club provided the Russian oligarch did not benefit in any way from the deal.

“To be clear no proposal would be accepted which saw the money the proceeds from any sale ending in an unrestricted bank account owned by Abramovich. He can’t benefit from the proceeds of any sale
Mr Philp said: “If a buyer emerged then it would be open to that buyer or the to the football club to approach the government and ask for the licence conditions to be varied in a way that allowed that sale to take place they would be able to approach the government to make a proposal.

Dr Rob Wilson, a football finance expert from Sheffield Hallam University, cannot envisage a sale happening following the freezing of Abramovich’s assets,here is what he had to say to the Guardian.

“The sanctions push (the value of the club) down. It is an asset that needs to be transferred at some point, so if you need to sell something, the closer you get to the deadline of needing to sell, the cheaper it probably gets,” he said.


“I would describe Chelsea as a distressed asset, and the association that they’ve got with the owner is what’s distressing them.”

“The bottom line is that the football club can’t survive without (Abramovich) and his ownership because of the way he puts money into them,” Dr Wilson added.

“Unless you can find somebody else like him or with pockets as deep as his to continue the ongoing running costs of the club.

How do you make your cacio e pepe ?

Is our Gazza going to buy Chelsea then ? Now would be an appropriate time to step out of the shadows. Presumably Gazbot has the 2.5 bill required

Ziyech ? Only if they've got about 80 million to spare.

I don't get this with the sponsors. We're not a Russian club. We represent England and are English to the bone. It's such a ridiculous overreaction.

Going off reports this morning, Nick Candy is the most likely to make the first offer. Has baking from an unamed investor,believed to be American. He's due to be at the match on Sunday.

Backing*

The Star - Nick Candy is exploring the option of a consortium with several investors as he looks to make a proposal to the UK Government over the purchase of Chelsea FC

🚨 Talks between Nick Candy and Raine Group are at a significantly less advanced stage than the offer led by American billionaire Todd Boehly, who is now waiting to find out whether Roman Abramovich will accept his bid. (Telegraph) #CFC
