Call me a cynic but a man who has stolen £10bn off the Russian state aided and abetted by Putin agrees to kinda forego £1.5bn of said money to save his skin and likely numerous other nefarious reasons linked right back to his criminal circle?

Make no mistake he doesn't want to live in Israel or Russia or any other hole that will accept him. He wants to lord it round the world on his superyacht / jet whatever and live off those proceeds and not be a high profile target once the eventual revolution overthrows those oligarchs. A coward.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone with billions has effectively stolen it from somebody. You can't "earn" a billion, regardless of how clever or hardworking you are.

Are you arguing for a move towards a more socialist society? Redistribution of wealth from undeserving billionaires to the poorer people? Or is this just an opportunity to have a dig at a rival club and their fans?

I'm guessing you're just a hypocrite, like so many people that have taken a sudden interest in politics the last week or two.

Wrong. No rival club. Not a socialist. Not a hypocrite.

Follow the money, how he came by it, what club (non-football) that gets him into and what club he may rather be in.

You are completely on the wrong end of the stick. His life ends as he knows it if he cannot operate in teh west and if he cannot do that he gets drawn closer back to Putin. 'Hey, Roman, about that £10bn I facilitated for you, well I need it back....'

doesn’t deny Abramovic was sports washing and chooses to try and deflect elsewhere.

Speaks volumes there that you don’t give a fook where his money came from and whom his associations were with as long as he bought you silverware.

London is open to Russian oligarchs.

Buying Chelsea made him the most famous amongst his limted social circle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bigger social circle than yours I imagine Boris
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doubt it.

My social circle is wide, varied and doesn't live in a pampered world built on theft and dishonesty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I’m shocked

He passed a fit and proper test and has faced 19 years of intense scrutiny by the media, politicians, nations etc. If we are wrong to not get overly concerned then many other far more influential and important people have failed far worse than us.

I remember my first visit to Russia with Chelsea back in 2004. Rivals were insisting Roman couldn't go to Moscow because he would be arrested or killed by Putin who also wanted to relieve him of his fortune. Now he's supposed to be his best friend. Nothing is perfect in this world, sadly that includes popular opinion.

A Saudi regime that chopped up a journalist had its wealth fund passed as “fit and proper”

Not from what I understand. But them I don't go by headlines.

That aside like I mentioned there are far more influential and important people that make these calls.

Sickening post, just sickening.

Try putting your views on how wonderful he was in buying trophies for your team to the Ukrainian people, you know the one who have seen their children die at the hands of one of Abramovich's close contacts.

As said above any Individual person who makes more than a Billion, has done this through less than genuine avenues. Particularly if Russian. If they got that much, it must have been taken from somebody.

Oh and if you think your "wonderful" Russian Chairman is not going to want his money back, you really are in cloud cookoo land. Rich people do not get rich by giving away. Trust me, it may not be now, next week, next month, but he WILL call in his loans. Having worked in the financial sector for 40 years I know exactly how this wil play out.

Then how will you see this bloke then ? when your club goes broke, as at the very least you will inherit a new owner who will buy it cheap and run it stringently and like a business, not a personal toy.

This is nothing to do with pathetic club rivalry when there is a war involved, but about short sighted Chelsea fans who, in the words of Joe Biden,"won't see what hits them"

Surely Chelsea fans see the irony in complaining about point-scoring from rival fans, when literally the only reason they get defensive about Abramovich is because of his association with their football club

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some do, but not all. Believe it or not that goes for most clubs, for instance I know many Tottenham fans personally that are happy to talk football without point scoring or whatever you want to call it.

Abramovic has made a crucial PR blunder. Doesn’t matter whether you are a granny, a young child, or an independent TV station, mentioning the invasion or war in the Ukraine will get you dragged off by the security forces.

Last night, in attempt to take the heat off himself, Abramovic promised to pass on the proceeds of the sale of Chelsea FC to “the victims of the war in Ukraine.”

Oops.. That’s not going to go down well with his pal in the Kremlin.

Well If you have 'worked in the financial sector for 40 years', you will know we have broken even most seasons and complied with FFP. Even winning titles with zero net spend.

Still amazes me that after a week of the same posters spamming on here that they can’t differentiate between Roman as a football owner and everything else. So dumb
