I think I'm coming at it from the pov of "you can't bankrupt the club, community asset, blah blah", but of course they can. I think that’s the way a lot are coming at it. Maybe it should be the way you’re saying, I just have no faith that the government give a shit the way they didn’t give a fuck when clubs like Bury and Macclesfield went out of existence. I’m not saying I’m right in anyway btw, I genuinely don’t know if frozen assets are typically sold as that seems more like a stripping of assets to me - so to me that’s a special exception they’re making to attempt to keep Chelsea alive but as people have pointed out that 1.5b loan might kill that.

spongebob toonpants 3958 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Just to be pedantic they haven't seized his assets they've frozen them, so any decrease in the value of Chelsea is of no importance to the govt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club own buses, put the players on a bus and go through the channel tunnel, there’s no fucking way that would cost £20k. Could even book them into cheap as fuck hotels or hostels. Of course they can’t do it in a way the players are accustomed to but it’s ridiculous to say it can’t be done, fucking local youth clubs manage trips away to tournaments in Belgium etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say there’d be 40 people going, they genuinely think you couldn’t possible manage travel and one night stay for £500 per person? Piece of piss that, especially given I’m fairly sure the club own buses. Must be a fucking nightmare for those saying that trying to plan a holiday.

So no flying to games and no overnight stays. The fucking bamps. ROAD TRIP for any remaining CL fixtures this season. Someone better get working on a playlist.

Tom 14011 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Well if they can’t manage it on £20,000 they’ll just have to forfeit the fixture won’t they? It could have been worse, the other Russian clubs were banned outright. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say, I have said for years they should ban clubs flying to internal games. Long distance fair, but internal, nah. But a coach to Lillle.

Ayatollah Hermione 13840 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Just get the players to fund their own transport. Would love to see Jorginho missing the away game because RyanAir lost his bag. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've waited until the 13th hour to do it. I still hate Chelsea and their fans though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I was just thinking, will they even be able to have attendances at games soon? Stewards are paid by the club I assume, and if so once this £16m of cash on hand they have dries up surely they stewards, and other match day staff stop? Unless of course the match day revenue of the sale of food and drink is allowed to fund those wages? But I thought I remembered seeing those sales went into the pool of frozen assets. What a fucking mess they’re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh aye, I know they’re allowed to but they only have £16m on hand which won’t last long. Once that dries up what then? Even if they’re allowed to use the revenue from match day concessions to keep paying certain expenses (which I’m not sure they will be) that won’t go far and is dodgy ground if they players and other staff aren’t being paid.
