Sanctions have frozen Chelsea. Fans are haunted by the demise of the club or the fall to amateurs

What will happen to English Chelsea FC? The British government, as Roman Abramovich’s property, froze the club and significantly reduced the club’s operations. The Water Carrier Trio perceives that London’s big club is now in existence.

Even the initial news that a new owner was being sought for Chelsea under pressure from sanctions was in itself sensational. Last week, the general public’s interest in the successful London Grand Club deepened after the British government, in response to Russian invasions of Ukraine, decided to take significant action against Russian oligarchs, led by Roman Abramovich.

He did not escape economic sanctions, his property was frozen in Britain, including real estate, but also the Chelsea football club. At the same time, she is the current defending champion in the Champions League, the winner of the recent World Cup and the five-time Premier League winner, the modern version of the English top competition.

It’s about everything

“The club is in a very special condition now. Nothing like that has been here before. Chelsea is now not allowed to renew its contracts, buy and sell players, trade tickets or benefit from merchandising. Petr Čech himself, one of the most important members of the management, commented on the current situation, saying that there were many more questions than answers around him, “says Luděk Mádl, a football expert in the News List.

Carriers are further developing how much the pound of the club itself will cost and how long Chelsea’s financial self-sufficiency is predicted by the British media. Another unpleasant impact of sanctions is a strict budget set aside for travel to matches. With a maximum allowed amount of 20,000 pounds, the Bluesmen can hit hard, especially on trips within the Champions League.

“True, various jokes on this topic are circulating on the Internet. There is speculation whether players will fly with low-cost airlines, ride league matches by minibus or perhaps on their own axis. We are now talking about how it is with the club today, but it will be crucial, how it will be with them in two or three months and if anything like Chelsea will survive this period of great crisis, “Jaromír Bosák is aware of the seriousness of the situation. , moderator of the podcast Water Carriers.

If Chelsea lost its economic power before being sold to a new owner, and its proper licenses were revoked, could it fulfill the scenario we had been able to follow at the Glasgow Rangers over the past decade? After the collapse of the club, they had to break into the Scottish elite of the amateur league. If something like this hit Chelsea, according to Porters, the club would probably be on the border of the fifth and sixth English leagues.

In the latest episode of the Football News podcast, you will also learn how the British Ministry of Culture responds to the current problem with Chelsea and what must happen for the club to see a smooth transfer to a new owner.

Blind fans

Chelsea hosted Newcastle on Sunday, a club that went through a closely watched change of ownership in the fall. The home stadium of Stamford Bridge was extremely tense. The porters saw a banner on one of the stands, which celebrated Abramovich with the Russian tricolor as “Roman emperor”.

“Blues fans are very upset about the whole situation. Many see the British government’s sanctions as an injustice, not least because Abramovich is a hero in their eyes. He is the one who came, saw and won. With the help of his investments, he built a cadre that started rolling the football world and in whose jersey Frank Lampard, Petr Čech, Didier Drogba or John Terry became famous. Most local fans are, of course, full of sentiment and cannot admit that the punishment could be appropriate, “says Karel Tvaroh, defender of the Sparta reserve in Prague.

How does Bluesman coach Thomas Tuchel react to the current crisis and what can a non-standard situation mean for a very successful London academy? In the recent issue of Carriers of Water, you will also find out why Slavia did not do well in Liberec and what about the poor quality lawns, which sabotage technical football and endanger footballers’ health. In the foreign part of the podcast, the Carriers focus on the rise of Arsenal and praise Mikel Arteta’s long-term work. They also report on Ronald’s sensational form and his breaking of the record by Josef Bican.
