After 19 years of buying his way into respectability justice finally caught up with Roman Abramovich today when his assets were frozen.Â
The most public sign of Abramovich’s wealth has been Chelsea Football Club with two Champions League victories financed by an oligarch who owes all of his wealth to Vladimir Putin.Â
With his friend waging war on the people of Ukraine the UK Government has finally taken action against Abramovich with Chelsea in the front line with a range of sanctions applied.Â
Tickets can no longer be sold for matches at Stamford Bridge, the club shop has been closed, Three has withdrawn their shirt sponsorship with a whole range of knock-on effects as the club pays the price.Â
It is unlikely that Pat Nevin and Jason Cundy will be viewed as essential employees by Chelsea TV.Â
Who’d have thought the only two teams in the United Kingdom to face UK government and serious HMRC sanctions are the two most loyal to the Crown and British state.

Collymore has little sympathy for Chelsea and their ill-gotten gains, he had a similar attitude in 2012 when Rangers were put into liquidation after years of fielding players that they couldn’t afford through a tax scam that was judged to be disguised remuneration by the Supreme Court in 2017.Â

Stan’s the man.
The truth with a bullet.
The huns will be apoplectic with rage, as they always are when reality bites.
Brilliant. Good lad Stan.
I see a picture of the great man Brian Clough there.
The bold Brian when once asked a question about the old club replied…………
“Rangers? They’re a bunch of criminals”
And that was long before the tax dodging and cheating scandal came to light.
Same as it ever was.
Well said Stan 100% honest
Great tweet Stan.. Love it. Glad to see any in-fighting within the brits, but they are as bad if not worse than Putin so wont be giving them any credit over Abramovich hypocrisy. Took a long time and wouldn’t be happening if not for current state of play. The only reason countries are going mad about Russia is their hypocritical racism and I quote U.S news bulletins who referred to the refugees as ” …the little blue eyed, blonde hair children of Ukraine …” The capitalists use fascism to bring down democracy and replace it with hypocrisy.
