That's Azpilicueta, Drinkwater, Rudiger, Emerson, Christensen (already off) and Musonda as most known players gone if this is not resolved by the Summer.
Roman Abramovich plans to sell Chelsea | SOLD for £4.25BN
- Thread starter Ali Dia
- Start date

Azpi has an option for one more year, whether they can legally take that option is another question.
Rudiger's deal expires this summer. Kante's deal expires next summer. No way for Chelsea to deal with either now...
"HM treasury can revoke, suspend or vary this license at any time" Seems soon as we are sold, it all gets lifted.
Special dispensation required to complete the sale
The entire suspensions end 31st May 2022

My issue with it all is simple.
He's the EXACT same man, with the same dodgy connections, the same source of money that he was the day he bought Chelsea.
Nothing has actually changed.
He should never have been allowed to buy it in the first place.

Get off your high horse, I don't support Putin but I don't support blaming people who have nothing to do with the war.
The last people to do that were the NAZIs.
Also says no ticket sales from now on (unless tickets already brought presumably) only season ticket holders can go to games from now on.
Wonder how quickly they'd run out of money without him pumping it in?
Hopefully we snap up Rudiger.
The PL don't care, as long as you can bring in more money you can buy a club. That's why KSA was allowed to buy Newcastle so they can create another super team and expand their Arabian market.
The British Government punishes Chelsea because they have a Russian Owner but they have no issue With Arab Nations with awful human rights owning clubs like Man City?
Can people not see the agenda here?

A significant increase in the number of man city fans worldwide!!
What awful news this is 
So it actualy doesnt affect us at all for the summer window... and beyond...
While your point is correct, it would help if those punishments are applied uniformly and not just during conflicts which the West are against.
PS: I don't support Putin, this war, etc, in case someone says I do because of what I said above.
A lot of whataboutery here. Neither KSA or the UAE should have been allowed to buy their teams but it is what it is.
No this is the license you have been granted. If Roman’s sanctions go beyond May then yes you very much will be affected and they will renew terms of the license.
19 years too late.
That’s fecking brutal
Well feck. Unprecedented stuff this.
This will hasten the club sale at a throw away price. This is good news for Chelsea fans.
New owners with possibly a little more left over to invest over and above.

Assume that Roman would still be legally able to call in his loan to the club?
Would assume unless Roman is long gone from the picture that the suspension will get extended.
All this means is Chelsea will be sold in the next week or two, probably for a lower price...
With them not being able to sell tickets, does that mean no away fans can attend? Or is that the away club that sells tickets?
Are you seriously comparing the UK government and Nazi Germany because they have sanctioned Roman Abramovich?
No but I would imagine it drives a huge dagger through the sales process.
But isn't the sanctions so he has no benefit from the sale supposedly? So what benefit is it to him now to sell if he doesn't make money?
What are you on about, a country is commiting war crimes and your owner's wealth is directly linked to the leader of said country.
It's not an agenda, it's a legitmate government response.
It's not hard to see the agenda. Russia have invaded a European democracy so the West are exercising the levers of power available to it as part of the conflict. It's not got much to do with football or morality, it's simply about attacking a dangerous enemy.
Yet...
itll bring even more interest now, club price will tumble. 3bn? Not a cat in hells chance, be lucky to get 1.5 now. So anyone who wanted to buy us but baulked at original price, will now come charging in
How much does a game cost to stage?
Will we see weird cutbacks like no celery sandwiches at Chelsea?

The Saudis are much worse and that wasn't an issue a few months ago. Although I'm welcoming any action they take.
And have a quiet word with Tuchel as well..
