Wow. I'm a bit sad about it and apprehensive about the next chapter. 

Where will we be in say 2 years time...

Pure class from the bloke.

No loans called in, net proceeds of the sale going to charity.

Thank you for the most amazing time. Always a blue. 💙

Let's see that labour's MP w**k*r twist this statement. Scumbag.

Such a sad end to Roman's Empire.

Thanks for everything Roman!

Once a blue always a blue.

I get that and am sure I will get there.

For all my repitive sharing of rival fans comment that irked Coco I still did not really accept it, ya know, defense mechanism. 

Now I morn the loss of someone I admire for his amazing love of our club.

So so sad 😞 Heartbroken.

 

Thank you for everything Roman.

Nice of him to donate proceeds to war victims, really silences all those media people that acted like they knew what his position on the war was.

Maybe on day, Putin is rumored to be in poorer health than he let's on.

how he handled this just shows you his class 

in bleak contrast with all the media 

A great statement and what a shame this amazing chapter had to end due to a crazy man and a hypocrite media desperate to point fingers at someone. 

Like all of you, I'm hoping the next set of owners have at least 10% of the same love for the sport and our club as Roman. He'll always be one of us.

Media no longer exist. What we have now are murderous fake media. 

Sad end to RA's time here, the man deserve a much better departure. 

he should get a stand named after him

You cannot use the words "class" and "media" in the same sentence without also using "complete lack there of" and "vile scumbags"

See also "politician"

When he first came I think that twat John Sweeney did a documentary on him they found nothing it was a complete waste of time but you knew exactly what they were insinuating that Roman was dodgy. I honestly believe if it was any other club bar Chelsea not half as much mud would have been thrown which of course never stuck. He's been hounded out pure and simple and I feel angry but from the bottom of my heart I would like to thank him for everything he's done for the club.

Stadium*

Absolutely gutted. Close to tears to be honest. 

He is perfect, but the best owner in world football has been forced out, while the Saudi's that were allowed to buy Newcastle are currently commiting genocide in Yemen.

If Roman was as close to Russian politics and Putin as his detractors claim, it is very strange that Roman seems to have been caughtwell off guard with this. Surely a savy businessman wouldve sold all his UK assets in summer, if he knew the storm was going to hit?

Hopefully the fact he isnt recalling the debt, and donating the net profit to Ukraine, has given him some time to avoid sanctions, and find a buyer that has our best interests at heart, because its clear he loves the club, snd wants the success to continue.

Thank you Roman. What an era. ktbffh

Wonder if this means negotiations with a buyer are fairly advanced already. Because surely it's not a great negotiation tactic to make it official that the club will 100% be sold otherwise?

What an unbelievably sh*tty last seven days. 

This latest news is a terrible blow for Chelsea fans, but pales into insignificance in the context of what is happening in Ukraine.

f**king Putin ...

hopefully his name will be cleared, and then the club can properly thank him. Not many owners like him in the sports' world, let alone football.
