Should the worst happen and the Russians invade, I suspect that many rich Russians in the UK will be part of the proposed sanctions, could this affect our foes down the road? |  |

Very telling that Abramovich fled to Moscow as soon as this all kicked off. |  |

There have been reports that he is actually trying to broker a peace deal, which is why he has gone to Moscow. |  |

Yet another story his people have drip fed to the clowns at Sky Sports News. I believe the phrase is 'useful idiots'. | | | |

Anyway, Abramovich is clearly flogging his UK assets before he gets named in any sanctions. Houses up for sale and now Chelsea being offered to all and sundry. Apparently they owe him something between £1.5 and £2billion. At the lower end, that means they've lost an average of £80millon every year of his ownership. God knows what sort of value you'd place on a business that loses that sort of money.

No, this happened several days after he fled to Moscow, at the request of the Ukrainian president. | |

In two minds about this.
I've always said that all fans hate their local rivals, but in our case they really are the most odious club in football. If they aren't owned by a scumbag any more, what next? Human beings for fans? I might have to admit I just don't like them.
Still. Premier League, innit, there's bound to be another utterbastard along in a minute. | | | |

Possibly, but it might take awhile. I'm guessing that this is a scary time for multi-billionaires. Also just because Chelsea FC is for sale, doesn't mean Abramovich will actually sell it. The optics for are good right now, but the market isn't. He's maybe hoping he'll deflect some attention by appearing to "do the right thing." When and if the smoke clears somewhat, he could well take it off the market. | | | |

This isn't going to end well is it.? If Roman Abromavich is selling up I don't think he has much faith in Putin doing the right thing any time soon. |  |

He's definitely in the spotlight right now.
From The Globe & Mail (Canada)
"Mr. Abramovich is No. 1 on a list of 35 people drawn up by allies of jailed Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny. This list of proposed targets names wealthy Russians, government officials and business leaders whom Mr. Navalny’s supporters say should face sanctions to put pressure on Mr. Putin.
To date, he has not been targeted with sanctions by Western countries. On Monday, Reuters reported that the businessman had accepted a Ukrainian request to help negotiate an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Mr. Abramovich is the owner of England’s Chelsea soccer club and a significant shareholder in steelmaker Evraz PLC, which through a subsidiary has steel-production facilities in Canada." [Post edited 2 Mar 2022 19:18]
