West Ham swoop in and buy Mason Mount in the fire sale, Rice signs a new £10/week contract because he's so happy.

Oh we can feel sorry for all those pre-Abramovich fans who hate what their club has become, although they're probably sadder about the fact that they literally don't exist.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Hello!

Although I've said before and I'll say again, Chelsea were in Div 2 when I started and if they end up back there I might be able to afford to go to a loving game.

It is classic Tory thinking though, they've ordered them to keep operating as normal but banned 100% of the revenue sources. That's obviously a plan that ends in administration.

Which might be the goal, Roman forfeits the club, someone else buys it for £1 which written off debts and we go back to football with a 10 point deduction that might not even take them out of the CL at this rate.

Are they allowed to pay players + staff or are fax machines all over Europe currently being revved up with free transfer bids. Or are even outbound transfers banned. Have Chelsea's players just effectively turned into 19th century amateurs

So they can probably keep going but they can't buy or sell players and they can't sign contracts.

Yeah, you're taking a squad of maybe 20, probably 10 coaches and medics etc.

So that's return flight, transfers and accommodation for about £666 each.

They're going coach at best, which is in itself hilarious.

I can't find any info on whether they can receive TV revenue payments. If not, then that + no ticket sales surely can't mean anything other than administration within 2-3 months.

iPaper tweeting the government has basically said they WOULD allow it to be sold so long as 0 money went to Roman.
