I see Chelsea are adopting the ‘Nuffin’ to do with us, Guv’ approach. Similar to ours I suspect
‘ Abramovich chose not to return requests for comment on the article, but Chelsea have issued a response in the report.
A spokesperson for the club said: “These allegations pre-date the club’s current ownership. They are based on documents which the club has not been shown and do not relate to any individual who is presently at the club."
However, the owners were aware during the purchasing process of “potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions during the club’s previous ownership”.
They added: “Immediately following the completion of the purchase, the club proactively self-reported these matters to all applicable football regulators.
“In accordance with the club’s ownership group’s core principles of full compliance and transparency, the club has proactively assisted the applicable regulators with their investigations and will continue to do so.”
I look forward to Clem making us an enemy of Russia with whatever statement he ends up putting out. Offer them out for a scrap.

You’ve got to admire Power. He ran a football club using other people’s money entirely.
Just what was in it for Abramovich? I can’t think of any benefit to him at all.

Fair play though, I thought there was no way STFC could continue to entertain us like this but secret funding from a Russian Oligarch has blown that thought out of the water

Who had ‘Roman Abramovich used Swindon Town to launder payments’ on their bingo card oh ffs. When will it all end (I don't mean the club). so the loan may or may not have broken the rules, but but declaring it did. Brilliant

It's a good job the club didn't have a convicted Money Launderer hanging around, otherwise it might look a bit suspect.

Must admit that entertain wasn't the first word that came to mind, but I know what you mean.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Remember when that journalist a couple of years back said there were worse things that would blow the Barry/Standing thing out of the water? Is this the beginning?!
