Roman in hiding move...Chelsea predicted

to collapse with a huge debt to the owner, and having to refinance somehow to stay afloat.

All unravelling as a consequence of Ukraine war.

I have absolutely no worries at all about leeches /glazers mark 2.
Our board are clever they will know who to sell to if and its a might big if Abramovich had to sell. Like I said even someone like Glazers would be out bid by the people who would want us and they no doubt would have to guarantee funding for the team. Every chance if it happened it would be one of the Arab families probably weaihier than man city owners, The Arabs love London and to own a team there , how much would they pay?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I concur there are lots of mega rich Arabs in West London having lived in London for years. But it depends how Roman leaves Chelsea. Ig he has left it in multi-debts worth billions, I doubt Chelsea would attract any mug be them millionaire or billionaire who would invest and take on the risk.
The football side isn't too bright either right now too. It could be the last season in the PL for Chelsea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He hasn’t left you thick mug!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All but left...

Probably stashing the last of the wads in his pockets, and in his holdall as he's giving Tuchel the boot
----------------------------------------------------------------------

You surely can't be this stupid!!

Basically Romans going to the Winchester for a pint until the whole thing blows over!

Roman handing Chelsea to the trustees, but should have passed the club to the Pensioners, for PR valueπŸ‘

Roman only bought Chelsea cos he wanted a more public profile, off the back of Putin arresting most the other billionaires that got rich off the back of buying public assets, at silly knockdown prices.
It's served it's purpose as people know who he is but he won't just relinquish control that easy. The trust thing is merely a smokescreen as he knows the 5hits hitting the fan.

At the same time I'd be amazed if the EU/UK/nato say "ah OK he's walked away" til the war is over. He still owns the club. Trust is just running it in his absence. Very little has changed apart from Roman realising he is screwed.
Seems a strange step to try and distance yourself from a club that you still own, and in turn owes u over 1.5 billion.

So you are saying that Roman wanted a higher profile to protect himself from Putin as he feared that like other Rissian billionaires were arrested by Putin for getting rich off the back of Russia?

Does that not imply that he doesn't have a special relationship with Putin?

No. It implies that he is smart enough to realise Putin may be his 'mate' now but it can change very fast. Very very fast. Hard to go missing when you own one of the biggest sports teams. That's the logic anyway.
