Roman Abramovich never cared about Chelsea. Allowing him into the football was one of the greatest mistakes the Premier League ever made. Matthew Syed in 2013: “One has to look at how he amassed his wealth. And his QC, Jonathan Sumption, admitted in open court in his case against Boris Berezovsky that he had secured his money in a rigged privatisation.. Sumption admitted this. It is not in dispute. And that stolen money, if I can use the word certainly fraudulently got, is what is bankrolling Chelsea.. And you can't look at this in a purely footballing context. You have to look at the wider moral context and in that sense it has been a deeply corrosive influence on British football.. He was never in Chelsea to make a profit.. He bought Chelsea for protection. He knew that there was a risk that Putin would come after him.. And he knew that one of the best ways of protecting himself from being got at by the Russian authorities was to associate himself with a highly visible British asset. And he chose Chelsea Football Club. There's no real emotional background to that. That was a straightforward, hard headed decision from a very ruthless and manipulative businessman.”

Bruno Fernandes fits into any great Manchester United team of the Premier League era & if Rio Ferdinand & Phil Jones, two players inside of it for more than a decade say it, then that's all of the proof you need. They know what it takes in terms of talent & mentality. Rio: “Giggs even made a really kind of good statement, he said there’s three things that you need to be a MUFC player. You need to be able to run, take risks, and have imagination, and that’s Bruno. If you’re describing Bruno, that would be him. Now whether you think he’s good or bad at any of them, but his intentions are perfectly aligned to those three pillars there, and he can execute, his numbers are ridiculous.. So he has the quality, and I think he’d also have the mindset to be able to be in our team.” Phil: “I think that his numbers is. He's assist his goals, and I think in those difficult moments in the game, he's somebody who you look to and go, come on, show me something. This is why the club bring you in to show something. And he's done that in abundance.” Rio: “Also importantly, he wants to be that guy. He wants that moment to come to him where he's either taking this shot or he's producing a moment for somebody else. And that's an important thing because a lot of people, even at the biggest clubs, will shy away from that and say, you let him do that over there. He ain't that guy.” What more proof do you need?

I understand the emotion that fuels this anger, but this is not remotely true. INEOS aren't doing a perfect job, but there are so many misconceptions about their ownership, the takeover, Qatar, No Question About That & I spoke on this week. There is a path to full ownership, it is in legal writing & that window is in the coming months. - the money INEOS have invested - the path to a full sale is clear & ahead - SEC filings explained in full - INEOS found another way into the club - They also paid an $8 per share premium - INEOS have right of first refusal - 18 month window closes in 4 months - Glazers not selling in full isn't INEOS' fault - They aren't worse than the Glazers! - Qatar's bid was a ruse, had no substance
