Moral and Chelsea cannot be in same sentence. Betting company shirt sponsor till Premier league ban date is the worse any decent club can do. Chelsea is not one.
What is the magnitude of being owned by Russia then.

No we absolutely are not. Stop making shit up. Opposition fans are cheering more than we are because you have some desperate, pathetic need for reasons to slag us off. The club hasn't even been sold yet and you're already laughably eager to portray United fans as some sort of fiercely pro-Qatar rabble. It's so low and pathetic.
Most of us wish we didn't have an owner at all, but can do nothing about it. I have never heard one single fan express any sort of joy over the prospect of being sold to a middle eastern state.
And if we're to talk of the morality of club owners, yours was owned by (and owes everything to) one of Putin's lackeys until it was confiscated by the fecking government. The gall of you to start talking about how owners reflect on the club's moral fabric.

As I said it was the start for them and easy and cheap to get players from Chelsea because we are looking to offload them and players wanted to go. As simple as that.

It is quite convenient how they've managed to get themselves out this hole of FFP with Saudi giving them just a blank cheque for their rejects..... why couldn't they just take our rejects 
But you were in here saying PIF own a stake in Chelsea, which obviously a blatant lie. I can obviously see you’re outraged by this so you’re going to have to explain to me exactly what you think is going on here so I understand.
The link you posted barely mentions Chelsea despite being the wordy headline. It briefly mentions that Boehly’s company is doing business in Saudi Arabia. I presume what you’re saying is that plus PIF having some investments managed by Clearlake, which obviously predate the Chelsea takeover combined with Saudi clubs being interested in 3 Chelsea players is basically cheating?
They are outrageous about anything Chelsea do. Remember they were bailed out by same saudi club Ronaldo size problem mid season not long ago. Oh yeah let's forget about it.

I mean I can understand the raised eyebrows and I acknowledge with PEs the water is a bit muddied, but obviously ‘ PIF own a stake in Chelsea’ can’t just stand unchallenged as a matter of fact statement when it’s just something a poster has made up himself.
Do I wish Boehly and Clearlake didn’t have this business association with Saudi Arabia? Yes. I’d prefer it if I didn’t have to wonder if there is anything more going on here than just pure coincidence.
United weren’t bailed out, Ronaldo was. He was still offering himself to Napoli etc when he left us.They are outrageous about anything Chelsea do. Remember they were bailed out by same saudi club Ronaldo size problem mid season not long ago. Oh yeah let's forget about it.

Not sure what this means? We terminated Ronaldo's contract by mutual consent long before he signed with a Saudi club, so we weren't bailed out of anything.
And how many many months has he been out injured since then?
Seriously? You're rating a young lad who's made zero appearances for Chelsea over a guy who's made over 100 appearances for Chelsea and has been integral to you winning the Champions League? Getting strong "didn't fancy him anyway" vibes already
Are you ok?
Yes i am, Colwill is Reece James level of talent. Mount as an 8 i like but play him in the attack he's very meh.
I would rather keep him than sell him but he's replaceable.
Regarding PIF stake in Chelsea, I've placed an edit in my original post too. It is a link between Boehly and PIF. If that is also something that you find untrue, then of course do point it out.
The fact that Boehly was cozying up in Saudi last week and suddenly inflated offers are turning up for ageing stars on massive contracts is all just a bit too convenient, isn't it? It is the same 'Sheikh Jassim is private Qatari businessman' argument that people on here use as well to bury their heads in the sand. However, we at least have a few members who do recognize it for what it is. There seems to be a blatant denial in the Chelsea fanbase.

What are you on? He had already left the club before he signed for Saudi. Whether he joined Wrexham or any Saudi club, we got feck all out of it.
Genuinely wouldn't shock me if some forget Saul isn't our player and go on a rant about itAthleti s saul and inter s brazovic in talks with saudi clubs according to Fabrizio romano.
Mate I'm not the one saying that someone who's made zero appearances for the club is a better academy product than a 2 time POTY winner
if someone posted that Charlie Mcnneill is a better academy product than Rashford then they would face similar ridicule.It's good to see that you've already made peace with the fact that Mount is leaving his boyhood club, but try to keep the coping mechanisms grounded in reality.
If you're following sports for moral reasons you've firmly picked the wrong one.
Convenient? They had a meeting and a possible transfer (or transfers) followed.
How do you think transfers are sorted, fax machine? Of course they met up beforehand.
At least you're honest
Inflated offers being the operative term
Unlike the people who moan about things like this less than a year after watching the last World Cup (or even worse, moaned about the World Cup while taking a paycheck).
If you want to virtue signal, football is not for you.
None, but I assume that the reason people are concerned is because Ziyech basically holds no real value. If it’s a small fee then nobody can complain.
He’s declining for sure but nowhere near as bad as Koulibaly. Son also holds greater commercial value.
We're taking big losses on all of the transfers. Theres nothing inflated about any of the figures mentioned.
We're living in a world where Cucurella cost 60 odd mil and Antony cost 90. 20 odd mil for Ziyech or KK is about right.
No real value? Huh? He's a very good player under contract, of course he's worth something.
Who is banging down the door for him? He’s a mediocre player who hasn’t cut it at Chelsea.
I How succesful his transfer is or isn't depends on whether his form of the last 18 months is his form or a Dele Alli esque drop.Mate I'm not the one saying that someone who's made zero appearances for the club is a better academy product than a 2 time POTY winner

Man United were linked with him not so long ago.

It's not his boyhood club, He didn't deserve his POTY last season either, T.Silva was robbed. If Reece James could stay fit he could of won it too.
Hes not better talent than Reece James so your point was still wrong. Once Colwill starts playing for us i will be proven right.
Mount was, by far, your best player for the second half of that season at least.
No he wasn't. most fans still have nightmares from his 2 performances in the cup finals VS Liverpool.
Course he was. I posted the stats on here earlier. He was the only man carrying your attack when everybody downed tools and your lot were telling us how understandable it was.
A transfer fee can be a loss and it still be inflated. If we sell Maguire for 60 million, we'd be taking a loss. Wouldn't you characterize it as an inflated figure? Chelsea are desperate to offload Koulibaly and any transfer fee for him is a bonus.
Which one? I'm assuming 21/22 but just to clarify.
Shutting my eyes isn't an approach I personally prefer to take. But to each their own.
So you didn't watch a single second of the world cup?
Genuinely wouldn't shock me if some forget Saul isn't our player and go on a rant about it
I'd be more shocked if anybody even remembers Saul playing for Chelsea!
I don't know why people bother with Chelsea fans, this is the fanbase that still sings the name of a genocide enabler.
Yeah, but what happened?
I think they may have stopped those chants after they signed Mudryk.
Thanks for the correction if they have stopped. It still doesn't make it any better.
Jesus, this Saudi league is going to go the way of the golf soon.
President Xi, MBS?, President W Bush ?
Being Russian and knowing Putin makes you a genocide enabler?
Not even withstanding he's an Israel citizen who has donated hundreds of millions to anti genocide projects and other charities.
He's allegedly a "gangster", there's quite a big difference.
