Where have you read that (not doubting it) the words from Dorries I have seen suggest it has some sort of licence which allows it to operate normally, which does rather seem to negate the point of sanctions on Abramovich.  

Lots of journos on Twitter, here are threads from the Telegraph and Times:

Essentially they can just about operate, but under heavy restrictions.

By the sounds of it they can operate normally (at the moment, mid season), but what it means is that Abramovich will not profit from anything.  What it means if they are still in the same situation once the season ends though is a different matter.

The government says it will issue a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket holders to attend matches.

Season ticket holders can still attend games they have tickets for but the club can not now sell any more tickets for games. The club's merchandise shop will be closed TV
bib:. I assume most that attend are ST holders anyway.

As said though, end of the season could be interesting ...

I'm off to Twitter to look at the CFC fan outrage

So, no selling players. No signing players. Not able to offer existing players new contracts.

They’re fucked.

Sponsors now pulling out. ‘Three’ have withdrawn their £40m pa sponsorship.

The club can be sold but only with government involvement and none of the proceeds going to Abramovich.

I imagine their fans are spitting feathers at the Newcastle owner’s country’s bombing of Yemen has been conveniently overlooked.

Just waiting for Lebedev to have his peerage revoked & the Evening Standard & Independent being banned from selling papers because of his links (via his ex-KGB father) to the Russian leadership.

Might be waiting a while though, his donations to Boris & the party protecting him.
Maybe Roman should have made a bigger donation into Tory party HQ? 😉

PS have little sympathy for those Chelsea fans who sang his name during the minutes applause for Ukraine

Shame (presumably) no away fans allowed into Stamford Bridge and therefore no renditions of "Your ground's too big for you" at the Chelski season ticket holders...

If they had still had that level of support during these successful years they would no doubt have been classed as tinpot
