What I don't get is the "Abramovitch will get bored of you lot, sell Chelsea - and then you are getting relegated within a year" narrative.

He stopped pumping money into the club years ago. Chelsea have been balancing books much better than a lot of other clubs for years. Clubs (apart from Newcastle may be) do not get bought to be stripped of assets and driven down the hole.

If - and it's a huge if - he ever does sell, who is to say that that will have a detrimental affect?

It's a weird one, being a Chelsea fan with Roman as the owner. He's done so much for the club, you want to support him and dismiss all these accusations and such people throw his way, but if you take a step back from football and look at everything being said, he probably is a dodgy as f**k character, with ties high up into the Russian government. You don't become a Russian oil billionaire any other way.

RA has about 15 Billion $, may be more. If he gets 3 or even 4 Billion $ for Chelsea, what would he have won? Where should be the benefit from this big sale? Nothing would change his life to better - exept that he wouldn´t own the best football club on the planet.

RA needs 3 or 4 Billion $ as much, as I need 3 or 4 toothpicks. When he asked a Bank to calculate the value of our club, this is a legal and regular procedure as a businessman, who wants to know, what he could ecpect getting for it. Shareholders like me do that on a daily basis, without reaching those hights.

He (still) loves the club, the supporters, the players and everyone in blue out there - why should he risk of falling out of grace with so many?

Whatever he did to become billionaire in Russia once - every man should be given the possibility to change his ways. Since he bougth the club in 2003, I have never ever heard or read of any illegal action of him, not in his private life, not as our boss.

Come back RA, with what passport soever, and build us New Stamford Bridge.

Just a hunch ( I know .... all about his inner workings like everyone else), he bought a football club to raise his profile- less likely to get bumped off or labelled persona non grata by the Kremlin if he had a high profile rather than an anonymous billionaire, no matter how well he gets on with Putin.

Since ownership it’s become an important hobby of his ( rich mans trainset, and he has developed affection for the club), less so the last few years ( he’s been pumping serious dough into art)

He’s probably taking instruction from Putin to some extent now- if the country doesn’t need you then you don’t need them etc etc.

Reiterating, I know sod all, so educated guesswork.

Interesting theory, although if his intentions when he bought the club, we're to raise his profile and celebrity, then you would have expected him to give an interview or 2, especially in the beginning.

Roman Abramovich has been looking to sell Chelsea for a few months because of financial problems. Pini Zahavi has the sales mandate of the club. In early September, a meeting with Paul Allen owner of the Portland Blazers NBA franchise was held in New York.
