….and Abramovich donating all net proceeds to victims of war in Ukraine.

And not calling in his loans

He’s on the run and running scared

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

All profits to go to a fund to help victims of the invasion of Ukrain. Not sure what constitutes a profit, but he doesn't need to do this.

I am no fan of Chelsea (having been a Leeds fan age 11, and I remember that cup final) and I have no reason to sympathize with a man who profitted from carpetbagging and asset stripping, but he's done nothing much wrong for Chelsea, and his actions now are the best he can manage under the circumstances one feels (expecting him to just hand the club over for nothing would be absurd).

edit: Mrs T says he's done what he's done 'with some dignity'.

(and....runs for cover)

Realises he won’t get access to the funds anyway perhaps…..

Amazing gesture to give the net proceeds to the Ukraine appeal . No other individual donation will match this anywhere in the world .

He obviously can’t criticise Putin because most of his business is in Russia but it’s obvious by his immense kind gesture what he thinks about the invasion.

Amazing man .

An alternative is he could seek asylum in the UK for his (now evident) sympathy for Ukrain. I wouldn't be astonished if he were running scared and perhaps it will come to this, but at present he appears to be in command of his options and his dignity.

Let's see how this plays out before we start insinuating he (still) supports Putin...

And I repeat, I have no time for Chelsea.

I think it is profits isn't it?

Even so.....quite.

Of course he would have access . Payment would go into his Swiss bank account or any offshore one like the Cayman Islands .

I’ll believe it when I see it but if it’s true then it’s a kick in the teeth for Putin, so it would be a thumbs up for me.

BBC says net proceeds, but that obviously means after all expenses = net profits after every last paper clip has been accounted for

 

[timbha]

I’d love to believe that his offer is genuine and altruistic, but find it hard not to suspect he has self interests at heart.

I do hope I am proved wrong.

Writing of his loans and and profits to go to a charity, that is some gesture. Wonder how Vlad feels about that or how he will react

He’s on the verge of being included in sanctions according to reports (which Switzerland have signed up to) so perhaps not.

I thought he said he wouldn’t be asking for the loan to be repaid, suggesting (to me) that the loan would stay on Chelsea’s books with him as a creditor. Net proceeds (or profits?) might be very low, or even a loss.

I don’t trust him.

Hardly ****ing amazing. Corrupt maybe. Giving away money that will be seized anyway

Can’t see many people lining up to take on a club that owes 1bn + to someone. He will also be under sanctions which, I would imagine, will wipe out the loans
