What the f**k is wrong with you.

I think it is a good idea. Last player from the team that scored gets the goal in his name and not OG. Solid idea.

I know this hurts. Just skip past it.

My understanding, and i am in no way an expert or indeed even have a modicum of intelligence in such matters, is that as a Sanctioned Politically Exposed Person (PEP, ) any funds that he may have been owed physically cannot be passed to him and would have to be held in escrow. This i believe is the fabled treasure trove that Cameron has been sitting on for years. Due to likelihood that the funds would never be released by the UK government to him, i thought that RA made the grandiose concession to utilise the funds owed to him for humanitarian aid for the war, and thereby removed the lien against the club.

Whether it could ever have, would ever have, sunk us is somewhat moot as the result appears, on the face of it, to have come to a perfect conclusion for the clubs finances as we underwent an unprecedented evolution from the club of the 80's and 90's to what we see today, under Abramovich's tenure and then upon his departure the net result for the new incumbents was a clean slate in bank accounts terms (albeit with apparently some self declared financial skeletons lurking around). Hence why a number of us cannot understand why others on here keep telling us to not hark on about the previous regime by constantly bringing up the previous regime.

As things stand RA cannot benefit from any of the proceeds so that’s right and yes the proceeds of the sale still remain in a frozen account

My point about the debt is that I am far from sure how or indeed if the money owed to RA has if you want been written off. A significant sum north of £1 billion was in the accounts shown as a debt and I don’t see that the sum has or was ever removed from CFC Holdings accounts. There may be an accounting reason the debt remains, it maybe that consolidation of the loan into BlueCos influence that said may be have been done for either accounting or taxation benefits who knows.

No Chelsea supporter should or indeed would belittle the impact had on Chelsea , to do so would be churlish but RA is no longer at the club so we can only move forward with the new owners . There’s no doubt that RAs owner model was vastly different to Clearlake’s but because of the country of his birth CFC at the end of RAs tenure was vulnerable. Again those that argue all was hunky dory are not living in the real world.

Another demonstration of how you totally don't understand anything about football, or our club , or us Chelsea fans .

Eat your hearts out for all the hate and abuse. Yes, the football on the pitch is talking. Bet many of you aren’t even happy we are doing well because youre a bunch of bickering blind bats in a daylight convention. (talking to the hateful, owners cant do no good, crap model propaganda individuals on here)

And now another example of total ignorance of our fan base. You will NEVER get it

So we should be sad or 'intelligent' by ignoring something that we achieved because we have not softened to the new crew yet and have been sh*tting all over them last 3 years? Something like that?

Been a blue the entirety of my life but Ill never get it? Oh I get it alright, you’re bitter and hard headed. Point your hatred at England for f***ing Roman over. You’re blinded by ignorance at this point and I’ll even dare say your hatred has blinded you and you are no longer an actual fan, more along the likes of Rory Jennings, a shell of a what you used to be - a Chelsea fan. Sell your ticket to someone who still loves the club mate.

Cant believe I am arguing how good it is that Chelsea is having success 😂

Yes, I am ready for the plethora of sheep heading my way, as usual 🙄

Let me blow your mind here for a second, we wear blue! I know right??

Not saying anyone is right or wrong but fact is in this forum there are fans that live somewhere else, around Fulham road, around England, in the States, in Asia, in Russia. Then there are fans that are watching Chelsea mainly from TV, live at SB and away grounds, just read this forum etc. But all are Chelsea fans in their own right. To me none of them are better or worse than the other. Some have been a fan for 2 years, some 50 years. All the same. I think everyone shares the same feeling. They want Chelsea to win and do us proud. Give us moments of magic, disappointment and good football.

Where has ANYONE suggested we should be sad or should ignore what we did last season ?

😂You keep attaching the word "hate" to anyone who disagrees with your opinions.. And then fantasise about what sort of person I am .

You should try and be more grown up and learn to accept that fans disagree with each other all the time . If you were a "blue" !! 😂 you would be accustomed to it.

Are we stuck in a time-loop? How many times has our club model been explained? It is profitable. Period.

We have a net spend under this ownership of -918M.

Our debt has gone from nothing to over a billion.

We have just been fined £78.5million for failing to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules.

We are about to enter our third season without a shirt sponsor.

The only reason we aren't in more trouble is because of the sale of our women's team and hotels.

Please enlighten us all how we are profitable? Or is this more made up add ons? Same question applied to @evissy

Go back on the thread and read what has been written multiple times with you replying to them included. I can’t help your amnesia at this point…. It’s there.

No thank you, do the research. I have said it so many times now, not only myself but Evissy and Terraloon and other posters I am forgetting too. Don’t be lazy. You know exactly what the answer is anyways. Selective memory or amnesia is not an excuse, the posts are already there!
