Donjazet, i hope you are happy with what is happening at the club.

Loose cannon like you cannot just keep quiet and reason like Adults.
I hope you enjoy watching our players leave after we cannot afford to keep them or when a British business man take over the club and run it to the ground like Mike Ashley.
Spit on your bald head

Ojo my nigga, some things are bigger than football in this life. As much as I am a football fan, I am also an ardent follower of international politics. And I'm not gonna lie , I'm also concerned as to the direction of global affairs. There is genuine reason to believe that we might be on the cusp of a major global war and that is not good for anybody AT ALL.

I once loved roman as much as you. And with hindsight I can say that was wrong. I was very young when I started supporting Chelsea. Drawn in by Mourinho and several African players that played there initially. Inattentive to other affairs, but this Ukrainian issue has served as a serious wake up call. We have to open our eyes and constantly question the people and values we hold dear. Roman gave us happiness but that is not enough to make up for his other sins.
As for Chelsea, I'm sure we would survive strong. We are too big to fail. This is just a trying phase that shall pass but it is a good thing we have rid ourselves of that man.
Read this article on new York times and see just how cynical this man was.

Griffon:
I just had to reach out to my book shelve to pick my favourite book, "The Official Biography Of Chelsea Fc" written by Rick Glanvill. It was his sort of tribute to our centenary and first EPL title winning year.

I don't know how to best describe it, but flipping through these pages is almost similar to meeting your childhood love, who hasn't lost her magic, who you still desires and she desires you in return.

Rick did a great job in researching thousands of documents, interviewing players, board members, and fans both in England and abroad. My spirit is relaxed whenever I pick this baby up honestly.

To why I'm even bringing y'all into this.

Isn't it foolhardy that some guy on this board would deem it 'intelligent' enough to distance Roman from the franchise Chelsea, when in all HONESTY, the Chelsea that is feared and revered today across the globe was the brainchild of Roman?

There was never the complete combination of depth, mettle and managerial brilliance before 2004/05, all these were made available through the Roman revolution and that's the coldblooded truth.

It was Abramovich's cheque book which he received from Putin after he had murdered millions of people in Russia that ensured the influx of players and the successes that followed in our beloved club, nothing else, if there's someone else who has a better explanation to our overwhelming success, please let he come forward.
So which 'Chelsea is Chelsea' are you on about Oga pink? The Chelsea prior to 2005 that regularly lacked consistency, that failed dismally to bring home silverware, and struggled to stay top flight? Despite the decades of failure, how did we manage to project an aura of glamour, of wealth and success, and attract a galaxy of stars and celebrities? I suppose it was the history of the pensioners that inspired all that greatness. Madness!

Below was Roman writing in 2005, explaining how he intends to defend our first EPL title after 50 years, go a step better by finishing in the Champions League final, and how he intends to build the most successful football club in the world. This is 2022, and there are two UCL and FIFA World Club titles cooling off in our lockers, with how many domestic titles, can you count?

The dream was to be the best in the world, but one gender confused sucker on a local Nigerian forum strongly believes it was all about hiding his blood money under our cover while winning our love in the process. Such madness!
While the UK govt ceases this chance to attack us personally, an idiot here feels it should happen because Roman is a threat and must sell the club.
People without history are useless!

Of course when the message is fact-proof, attack the messenger.

The fact still remains that Roman Abrahmovic IS A CRIMINAL.
He made his money via bloodsheding, partook in the bastardization of his country's democracy and plundering of his country's wealth and made the Russian citizens poorer for it.
That you are ready to defend a criminal murderer and a nation's looter because you are one of the few beneficiaries of his ill-gotten wealth speaks of your rotten moral compass. Thunder will fire you if you ever go to the radio again and criticize any corrupt Nigerian government official.

Thunder will fire your brain if you ever come to this board during election time and complain about leaders setting Nigeria back.

See you composing and writing love letters for a corrupt entity. An entity partly responsible for the Permanent displacement and loss of thousands of lives ongoing as we speak.
Where is your conscience griffon??
Where is your Sense of morality? So you can easily be bought with money? You have no spine to choose right from wrong? Tueh!

And FYI, Chelsea was actually a solid side right before the criminal bought us, we were constantly in top 6 at least 8 years before he did. I think we even got to the UCL semifinals before he came. We had just finished upgrading our stadium to be one of the best in England as of that time. We were constantly partaking in European competitions.

No doubt the murdering criminal upgraded us to be much better. But we were better than the level Tottenham is right now, then.
Stop making it seem like we were complete trash that he picked from the dustbin and remodeled.
To use Nigerian church ranking analogy, if Catholic, Anglican, living faith, redeem are the biggest churches in Nigeria, we were on the level of Christ embassy. Also one of the biggest but just below the very best.

Please oga, mind yourself. Stop exposing your rotten conscience to the world, it's abhorrent, especially for someone in the micro media sector.
You can't come here and be applauding Abacha Babaginda 2.0 just because you enjoyed his money.
Wake up fast.

Only God knows if this man will survive this thing. when Europe mean you, they mean you.

And for people saying, money will stop flowing into the West. You don't know what you're talking about.
Which other countries can guarantee your security of wealth if not the western countries?
Is it communist China where government oversees everything and is even harder in their clamping down of individual enterprise or russia where one man rules everything??

If even historically neutral countries like Switzerland came out swinging strong with financial sanctions. No place is entirely safe. This means people WILL steal send their money there.
For now these Russian oligarchs go here am die.

Don't know how accurate this news is, but if this is true, these players are definitely on legendary path now. My utmost respect.

Havertz10:
Its legal to call for the death of the President of Russia on social media

You wouldn't get banned, such discussions are encouraged
2022 look at the kind of practises a company is promoting

Why on earth would you be pro-putin?
Does this mean you support every single person\body against the west?
Do you support Kim jong un? You feel North Korea is maltreated?

Singapore1:
people often mix countries internal policy and geopolitics together, they are two different thing. It's like asking if you'd rather be a cub or a fawn in the jungle.

It's a question of VALUES. What are the principle values of either governments?
Western democracies believe in the liberty and human rights of all individuals. Freedom of press etc. Sometimes they might be forced to act against it but they are still far more likely to hold themselves to account, learn from their mistakes and do better.

The same cannot be said for Chinese communism or Russian dictatorship.

Kloppo:
We know jagaban is a THIEF,stealing Lagos state money with alpha beta

He is not 69

He didn't attend university of Chicago or is it Toronto sef,he forged certificate

He might not be from Lagos or Tinubu lineage probably from one village in osun

Wait till he becomes "PRESIDENT" and atiku or his political opponents start digging his dirty secrets out,BMC SWAGA will say it is WITCH-HUNT and why did they not say all this while he was a governor and before he became a president

Indeed. It is outstanding that in this day and age, people will say, go and convict a billionaire in court.
Like?? In what world would people like Abacha, tinubu, dangote or other powerful men who can grow above and bend the law ever be convicted??

Segedinho:
The king

The criminal king. A state looter. A murderer. A corrupt enabler.

Never forget those additional tags.

Havertz10:
nearly everything you stated is done by Americans, you are predisposed to western cultures with movies and all, you can't think properly
Let me give you a fine example
when we talk about American propaganda, people think that it's a joke, i'm sure that you have noticed the way American government officials
have been dismissing claims about biological
labs in Ukraine, this is coming after an American government official confessed under oath cause it's illegal to lie, you either distort the truth or if its going to hurt American reputation keep the conversation for closed sessions
Well her name is Victoria Nuland, she was among the planners that orchestrated the fake revolution that was actually a coup against a pro Russian government in Ukraine to forward western agenda, she confirmed that American government has biological research laps in Ukraine that it's paramount that such research doesn't fall into the hands of Russians

Video is here
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesnownews.com/world/they-called-it-a-conspiracy-theory-but-united-states-just-acknowledged-existence-of-bio-labs-in-ukraine-article-90097467/amp
Freedom, human rights and democracy uno
Watch western propaganda in action

New York times, and all western sources are denying it
BBC said that they investigated and it's not true
WHO, a supposed world organization self said the lab wasn't for weaponized research
Even Google, makes it hard to find this information

I prefer not to form an opinion about all these bioweapons allegations until we see if any is being used.
Russia is accusing US of wanting to use it against Russia and US is saying this is another ruse from Putin to justify attempting to use bio weapons against Ukrainians. Let's wait and see. I'm disillusioned by all the news flying around.

A good assessment of the situation.

BREAKING! Chelsea's club credit cards have been temporarily suspended by Barclays in the wake of Roman Abramovich being sanctioned by the UK government. pic.twitter.com/IBqnMab8fi

DExponential:
tHe cLub wAs FoUnded by WhiTe SuPreMacists
90% of earlier Chelsea fans were racists
Roman Abramovich bought the club and funded it with bLoOd MoNey
Why then do you want to be associated with such an organisation?
The door is open.

I hope all of you are enjoying your bubble.

Last last, all of una must wake up and smell the coffee. The British citizens fully support the government. Level headed Chelsea fans can understand the decision. There is simply no going back for\to Roman. That door is forever closed.

Some things are bigger than football. If war broke out tomorrow, football will be the last thing in people's mind. It would be suspended immediately.

We have to wake up and turn on our criminal owner. He was a good custodian no doubt, but he remains an enabler of a tyrannical regime and has to meet his Waterloo.

The vast majority of people see this and agree with the governments decision. The earlier you guys do the same, the better for your mental health.

patrickmuf:
Is there any law abiding billionaire?

You are asking for something that's non-existent...

Someone who inherited wealth can be totally clean.

larride:
The beauty of anonymity.
Most of the rubbish you spit on here, you can’t say half of them offline.

I can assure you, you are wrong.
I will even beat you into submission.

Actman05:
If you hate him for who he is, you should not support Chelsea. You can say Chelsea is different from RA but much of the club's success in recent years is down to him and his money.
Even if he sells chelsea, Chelsea's history won't be complete without him.
For you to be dissociated completely from RA, you would have to stop supporting the club.

One is an institution, the other is a person. Learn the difference.
If you go back further to any old institution, you will most likely find unscrupulous characters that played a role in that institution's past.

You might be surprised to even learn that a white supremacist founded the club and that once upon a time, 90% of the earlier Chelsea fans were racists and white supremacist who believed the white race was superior to the black race. But the club has longed since changed direction and is modern and diverse in every sense of the word.

It's good that we are moving away from our hideous past of using the stolen Russian people's money into a bright new future.

larride:
He already put Roman on trial, concluded the trail and find him guilty thereby labeling him a criminal.

Prosecutor and Judge Donjagajaga

Of course, a supporter of another thief would jump to the defense of another criminal.
I'm sure you wish Abacha could come back and rule Nigeria.
I hope the BMC crew is paying you enough to continue supporting the likes of tinubu and buhari.

Actman05:
Do you hate RA for what he has done before or his role in this war?
If you hate him for what he has done before, how is it related to the ongoing war?
If you hate him for his role in this war, how is he connected to the war?

You can sum it up as me hating him for who he is.
He is a man who has partaken in stealing the resources of his nation. He has killed people.

And I guess my main hatred for the man stems from seeing people still adore and celebrate the man. People not wanting to open their eyes and see him for the criminal he is.

One can make peace with being powerless in the face of men growing powerful above the law. Bending society to their will. But what we can absolutely control is not celebrating these kind of people.
You don't clap for someone responsible for stealing his nations resources. Yiu just don't.

philip0906:
What exactly do you mean by blood money or crap? Did he buy Chelsea on eBay? He purchased Chelsea with approval from the government. Why didn’t they stop his bid? Did Abramovic become an oligarch overnight? Hasn’t he always been a Russian? How do you try to rationalize this madness?

Do you realize the madness this is causing? People are loosing their jobs? Investors are taking note?

To be fair, when Roman bought Chelsea. Putin was just a newbie. Russia was taking baby steps transitioning into a capitalist economy from the failed Soviet communism. It was a neocracy.
Nobody could have predicted that Putin will become the modern day Stalin and outlast Stalin himself. Don't forget that Russia is technically a democratic country now , but it's system has been bastardized soo badly by Putin. Essentially running a kleptocracy and kakistocracy.
With hindsight we can now say, they were wrong accepting roman in the first place, but how it looks now is soo different from the promise held then.

DumaEmpire:
When the man was putting the club on the European map. Being a philanthropist and humanitarian during the hard times. Transforming the club to one of the best in Europe you were blind.

Now there's lots of uncertainty and controversies your eyes are finally working well and you're now a pastor
Interesting...
It's testimony time

Well, the mass murdering of Ukrainians by his buddy really helped in opening everybody's eyes.
We never cared about these things, until the killings of Ukrainians raised awareness to his role and again, remember it's not just him. All powerful Russian oligarchs are being targeted. Roman is not just the focus.

philip0906:
What fvckery is this?

They are seriously trying to force Abrahmovic to sell. I guess this is our comeuppance for having enjoyed blood money all these years. I'm seriously waiting and watching to see roman's next step. Will he continue to let Chelsea suffer?? Hmmm.

Android22:
Any time you see an extreme viewpoint just note that you are seeing someone who only listens to or accepts information that already confirms their bias.

Simple question, to the best of your knowledge, is Abrahmovic not a billionaire whose wealth is built upon stealing a country's resources and partnering with a corrupt regime?

Is he the best role model you would want for your children?

patrickmuf:
Will you now go ahead and admit that Chelsea benefitted from the proceeds of corruption thus you rescind any form of membership or support you had for Chelsea?

You're taking a very extreme position on this matter...

I have said it numerously and I'll say it again, Chelsea is not roman and Roman is not Chelsea, he's only but a custodian and part of it. Chelsea is an institution of more than 100 years. Here long before Roman and will be here long after him.

One can distinguish between both. Your call for me to boycott the club will be valid IF the situation continued. If with my awakening, the situation continued, then there is grounds for me to personally boycott, but the fact that the club is on its path to redemption, that we'll be done with the criminal very soon is grounds for optimism.
Hopefully we find a good , non-killer, law abiding billionaire. One in the mould of Elon musk or Bill gates or one with inherited billions.

tonididdy:
I don't know how the UK govt is going to succeed in Turning fans against her owner...
... It's going to be almost impossible, it's a father son relationship All of this will turn biting in the ass soon.
THE NEW CHELSEA SPIRIT IS A RUGGED SURVIVOR.

you are deceiving yourself. Gradually but surely, the abrahamovic lovefest is disappearing. More and more Chelsea fans are seeing the criminal murderer for who he is.
Let him just allow Chelsea continue going down right now and see how this love turns to fuming rage. A part of me wishes he doesn't sell. Maybe our suffering will open those eyes faster.

Branzy:
Person wey Dy drink eat and breath CNN

Is the Catholic pope also drinking, breathing and eating CNN??

A40:
Whatever you feel about Abrahamovich and the allegations on him that you can't prove anyway. He deserves better than this attack you have been raining on him, attacks that you never rained on him from Day 1 which makes me question your sincerity. Is it from a genuine place or are you just following propaganda

Look around this thread, see people idolizing a criminal. A thief who stole his country men's resources for himself and acquired initial wealth in the first place by killing rivals in cold blood.

As you are now, do you love tinubu, do you love Babaginda, do you love Abacha, do you love dangote??
All these are people who have partook in the plundering and decimating of national wealth for themselves and their cronies to the detriment of millions of working class citizens.

So if Abacha used stolen funds to fund your favorite club, you will decide to be blind to his kleptocracy?? You will start singing Abachas praises?
If any government now finally decided to bring the hammer down on Abacha, you will call it persecution??

ABRAHMOVIC IS A CRIMINAL.
If you see yourself defending and vociferously supporting a criminal like that then something is wrong with your moral compass. It means you have no right to ever complain about bad leadership.
I was blind, now my eyes are opened to seeing him for what he is. A cynical criminal who used stolen funds to buy hearts and minds.

Havertz10, there goes your sino-russian relationship.
I've always told you that if push comes to shove, china will abandon Russia in a heartbeat. They don't have the wherewithal to go against the west. They just can't afford to.

Evil machinations of propaganda.

Amoto94:
Nike are considering walking away from their kit deal with Chelsea

This is a 60 million deal for 15 years. This will hit us very hard! Our shirt sponsorship and kit deal makes up more than 65% of our commercial income. These 2 deals are worth 100 million and we earn 170m commercially. Hmm.

BlueRayDick:
Only God knows what works you like this.

You go on rambling about how beer is a poor man's drink blah...blah...like that's a discovery of the century coming from you.

Almost everyone here knows beer is cheap and most people who can't afford expensive cognac/liquors will settle for beer in an instant. This explains why NB, Guinness and the other brewing companies operating in Nigeria will keep raking in profit. They focus on the poor population and make their cool money.

Now someone pointed it out that not just Nigerians but a small proportion of the beer drinking population to boycott a particular brand of beer to show their disapproval with the brand's stand in the UK; which I stated was practically impossible. Why ? because when people drink beer they don't care where it's being made, the region it comes,the international politics being played by the brand owners, etc. Poor people just want to drink beer and stay happy in line with their income.

Now wetin concern me with the long epistle u wrote up there ?

you're a wicked sombori.

popizaino:
Russian citizens in the UK should also be deported for failing not to speak against Putin at least with this I know this is not a witch hunt on Abrahamovic .

If push came to shove, this might just happen. The British people are desperate to do anything that will stop Putin in so far as it's not violent.

Havertz10:
guy you are a complete joke

Putin doesn't have imperialist tendencies, this is a world order fundamentals battle not some crusade to dorminate the world, putin has shown the world how dominating the west is, their hypocrisy and habits are being discussed

People like you are still lost in the deluded illusion of society

You can't fault the west, jesus fucking christ, the mere fact that you can even establish an opinion and defend it, is a crime.

can't fault the west, do you even understand the world you live in, I worry for you honestly

My friend, stop making noise. You have consistently skirted my question when I ask you to choose between the global powers.

As a Nigerian, where do you think you would have the best quality of life??

You are here with the privilege of condemning the western powers, and have the power to protest, do you think Chinese and Russian citizens have that privilege?

Tell me how many times you ever heard a black person held a powerful post or public office in China or Russia.
But you go to Britian or America, you see people whose parents brought them into those countries as children grow to become powerful leaders or holding crucial appointments in those countries.
Tell me how that doesn't highlight the freedom, liberty and opportunities open for every single person.

I believe that there is a time for everything, now is simply not the time to criticize the west. Doing That now dilutes the message and unity needed to defeat a ruthless tyrant whose citizens are afraid of speaking up against, a tyrant who imprisons and poisons political opponents. Go to those societies and juxtapose the treatment you get with that of western societies.

Havertz10:
If roman truly loved the club?

There is no owner in world football more loved and adored than roman, I dare you to mention the name
He didn't buy that love, he built a relationship with the fans, we all had the same goal becoming the biggest club in the world
He came to games, sacked managers early to reduce the damage they were giving our image, spent as much as he could, despite the emergence of city and the likes, got us some of the best players in the world
You ask if he loved the club, he was fucking there with us through this whole journey from nobody to what the club is today, every step of the way
That question alone, just shows the kind of ungrateful human being that you are

Let me first point out that Florentine Perez has been Madrid's best president for years. Agnelli of Juventus follows.
Yes, of course you are correct that he spent a lot of money on us, but I still ask you a very pertinent question, WHY DID HE BUY CHELSEA? Within that answer shows you, this wasn't someone who did it just for love but for self service too. By spending money, he knew people would love and adulate him, giving him credibility and acceptance in the society. Don't overlook legit money laundering allegations.

What do you say to hardcore criminals who use part of their proceeds to build churches in their home towns? Should they be worshipped and adored?
His ownership of Chelsea was a symbiotic relationship. You give me, I give you. Now he has a chance to prove that ultimate love which you all claim. SELL FOR NOTHING. I would like to know how you feel when he doesn't sell and we sink very low? Then you come back and talk to me about gratefulness.
