Chelsea will go into Administration if they decide to do that. They will work on the club till they find a suitable bid for takeover. Already, many American investors are inquiring on the same. It won't be late before they freeze his assets. There won't be any issue for the club at all. Although, their statements yesterday and the whole saga wasn't good on their part though.
FIFA backed away from immediately expelling Russia from World Cup qualifying on Sunday but said it remained an option, deciding instead the squad can play using the "RFU" acronym of its football federation, the Russian Football Union.
The unanimous ruling by the Bureau of the FIFA Council, which includes the six regional football confederation presidents, was also that the Russian flag and anthem can't be associated with the team. FIFA also said the RFU team can only play on neutral territory and without spectators.
Banned or not banned. They should be heavily booed everywhere they day go. This is not a solution. By letting them participate by not representing the flag helps Putin's propaganda in his country. It's shameful on how football fans are robbed off opportunity of kneeling down during Russia's national anthem. In next few weeks there won't be any neutral country in Europe left who will support Russia.

I'm not surprised. They did the same thing during the Olympics as well. Even after the state sponsored doping scandal. They even kept their colors during Olympics.

Roman is a good person. He helped UK during Covid times. Paid hotel so that NHS staff can use it. Pumped 2 Billions into UK economy. His daughter has been spreading propaganda against Putin. Roman shouldn't be banned.

Imagine being intoxicated and running over person in streets. Assualting women. Getting away it. And now doing charity for cancer affected kids. Does it wash off your sins? We know how he made his billions at first place. This balancing act doesn't work.
