Indeed. Let’s not kid ourselves, as others have pointed out, they want owners to continue financially doping them. This aspect really needs to be focused on as they deserve punishment after 20 years of roid finance doping. They can’t carry on as they have been.
From a sporting perspective; yes... But these sanctions aren't about sport or "punishing" the club.
But perhaps it should be about punishing the clubs.
For far too long all that football has cared about is money. It doesn't matter where it comes from as long as they made more of it.
This should be used as a wake up call to clubs and the Premier League. A case of 'You made your bed knowing you were on rocky ground. Now that it's imploded, you need to face the music'.
Everyone knew Roman's money was dodgy. They just didn't care. And, because they knew, they shouldn't be treated favourably.
Same as City and Newcastle if the shit hits the fan there.
Someone has to be the first if we're gonna clean the game up. Let it be the Chavs.
Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian Peace Negotiators Suffer Suspected Poisoning
The Russian oligarch and at least two senior members of the Ukrainian team developed symptoms that people familiar with the matter blamed on hard-liners in Moscow who they said wanted to sabotage talks to end the war.

I think Putin may be a bit upset with Roman.
Fair, but at very least the sanctions should then include punishing the club in so far as not foregoing the loan, debt, whatever it is, that's outstanding. If someone wants to come in and pick up the baton of financially doping them then - much as we hate it - that's the sorry state of modern football.
BUT they shouldn't be allowed to come and continue doping, unless the debt of past doping from someone now sanctioned is paid in full (to charity of some sort, not to RA, obviously). That's the sticking point for me.
The chavs cunt part
Yeh, but doping is under the jurisdiction of the EPL; not the UK gov and their sanctions.....
At most the gov. should take an interest in the debt in terms of it having any asset value.
i.e. Either:
1. The debt gets written off before sale and the asking price should then reflect the clubs debt free status. (Still leaving the EPL to investigate the write off in terms of FFP)
or
2. The debt should be upheld; the club is sold with the debt to which Roman is still owed and upon recovery that money is in turn seized as a further asset under the existing sanctions. (Effectively taking any FFP matters off the table for the EPL.)
In principal at least, this ought to amount to £Xbn + £1.5bn = sale price or £Ybn sale price + a further £1.5bn recovered. Essentially the SAME total seized either way.
(I think were agree here tho, tbh.)
The murky part is how the EPL chooses to view the eradication of the debt... I think it's safe to say they won't punish what they themselves have already allowed to accumulate; even if it's bogus as fuck for some rich fuck to swoop in and wipe the slate clean on their behalf; but like you say "that's just modern football".

The reason for him buying the chavs becomes completely clear. He loses it and he's apparently off'd near enough straight away.
What a fucked up situation. If he dies then I wonder what happens as the sanctions are on him. If it passes to his wife or daughter in his will then I assume the sanctions carry over?
Holy fuck, someone ain't happy.Roman Abramovich and Ukrainian Peace Negotiators Suffer Suspected Poisoning

Or is this some kind of play to illicit sympathy and unfreeze his assets?
Surely if he wanted to poison him he would do it properly
SSN says he’s fine anyway. Maybe just bullshit
Considering a group of Ukranian delegates for the peace talks also got poisoned I think that it was a legit attempt. Just poorly put together because the Ukrainian security service seems very competent.
They couldn't even poison the Skripals or Navalny properly.
They need to go back to using Pulonium 210. Not this Novichok bollocks.
Don’t buy it for a second. He is one sneaky little fucker.
Pictures or it didn’t happen.

It was just a dodgy lasagne, wasn't it?
